Love is a condition or phenomenon of emotional primacy, or absolute value. Love generally includes an emotion of intense attraction to either another person, a place, or thing; and may also include the aspect of caring for or finding identification with those objects, including self-love. Love can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state. In ordinary use, it usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience usually felt by a person for another person. Love is commonly considered impossible to define.
The concept of love, however, is subject to debate. Some deny the existence of love. Others call it a recently invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages (though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry). Others maintain that love really exists, is not an abstraction, but is indefinable; being a quantity which is spiritual, metaphysical, or philosophical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self esteem" to another. And others attempt to define love and apply the definition to everyday life.

i would say that love is the same from time immemorial all over the world.
i do think it has gotten a bit of a financial defination these days as in people misconstrue greed for love.or people believe they are in love because the other person can provide for them and support them.
i know when in love you are happy all the time,passionate about the other person inevery sense of the word and you care deeply for the other person.
the bible tells us what love is and one of them is kindness,it does not seek to cause hurt,it does not keep a record of wrongdoing and it forgives totally.

Personally, to me, love is helping the object of my affection be the best she/he can be, even if it means that I'm not part of their destiny. It is accepting them as they are but seeing what they can be. It is commiting to the needs of the person as far as humanly possible. If everyone could be that way, it could be an amazing place.
Unfortunately, people always use that term too loosely for many reasons. Even though times change, human nature doesn't.

Still the same holds good , that it is a personal quality, to really sustain it, independent of the situation, free from expectations.

love means the same today is it did in ancient society. It's the deep affection of family, friends, things, opposite sex, and even same sex that binds us together with them.

fake.
What you see in movies.
What guys say when they want sex.
What girls say when they have a crush/lust.
Sometimes it swaps the other way around.
