Love is deep, and involves immense caring, a sense of protection, and a feeling of loyalty. Being in-love is all of these things, but with a greater emphasis on passion and lust. Think of the honeymoon stage. Some people are able to make it last, and forever be in-love.

There isn't a difference. That's a myth. I think you may be referring to the excuse that a lot of people use when the want to break up or divorce their partner.
It means (sarcastically) "Honey, I REALLY care about you but you just don't excite me anymore. I don't have that THING for you I had in the beginning, that spark, that feeling. I'm just not IN love with you anymore".
BULL.
Newsflash. Everybody looses that initial spark. It's a flash in the pan. If you can't move beyond needing that you will allways move from one partner to another and never be happy with the one you're with.
My guess is someone has said this to you. Move on kiddo. You don't need em. They're not grown up enough for you.

Loving someone is like I love my dad or I love my sister.. being in love with someone is like when your heart melts for that person and you feel like you cant get enough of that person. For example if someone has a kid with a ex husband or bf they will always love that man because they have a child together but having a physical and emotional relationship will never happen you need those two things to be in love i hope that was a help.

i think loving someone would be like caring deeply for a family member/friend/ex, you would do almost anything to help them when in need. being in love i think is seeing yourself with that person for the rest of your life, having children and doing what it takes to improve the relationship. if there are things that are troubling the two of you, habits and such, you will change them because those things are not important in the relationship.

Loving someone is a solid and unchangeable thing. Like the way you will always love your mom. If you are in love with someone, you can also fall out of love with them.

Semantics.
I consider love as a selfless emotion where one strives for the other's happiness as well as total happiness for the couple as a whole.
I consider being "in-love" as a one-way emotion where one strives to satisfy their own infatuation through simple means such as physical and social contact. The object of affection's emotions aren't really considered.
