I've joined this conversation a bit late, but I think it is entirely possible to love someone and not be IN LOVE with them.
Don't you love your friends, relatives, pets, etc? But are you in love with them? I hope not!
You can love many people througout the course of a lifetime, and many people at once... You can be IN LOVE with many people throughout the course of a lifetime, but only one at a time.
I think, for many people, being IN LOVE shows a level of commitment that love does not...
