You can think that you do.
You can also think that something is not real that is real.

You can be infatuated with the notion you carry, or obsessed with something that is not real, however the word love is tossed around so much and lost a lot of it's meaning and power, escepically if it is claimed for something that isn't even real. I guess you could tell if you loved this imaginary thing if you were willingly to die for it.

What isn't real? If something doesn't exist then it can't be known. Everything that is loved is real to some extant. You will have to be more specific in your question. And God is real, He wrote us His book through men, and He created nature. He is evident in everything good, only an atheist would think otherwise, and I haven't heard any good proof against God's existence, so God is real, you can keep Him out of that "un-real" category.

Yes, I love cartoons.
Even though they look like real people and sometimes you sense something toward the characters that are being portrayed...
As confusing as it can get...
it makes for a love of a different kind

No, if you love something which does not exist in the real world, it still exists, but only in your mind, as a series of thoughts.

I think so. Like the thought of something. I love the idea of world peace. I love the idea of being pain free. Is this what you're looking for? Or are you being a sarcastic atheist? Like if I were to say I love God. I love Christ.

I love chocolate chip cookies. I like the prospect of having one for lunch. If you told me I'd eaten my last chocolate chip cookie, I suspect my love would be at an end as well.
I don't understand love of hypothetical things (see!? I love to understand - another abstraction - yet that is 100 times more concrete than a god).

No. You can love the idea of it, you can love the way believing it makes you feel, but you cannot love something that is not real.
This is how Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Wiccans, other theistic pagans, etc... operate. They think they love something, but what they really love is the idea of something and the way that idea makes them feel. There is no god or lord & lady or brahma to actually love. They love the idea of their deity.

you could say, i love fairies.
faries are not real, the idea of them, is real, the physical being, is not. everything is real in some sence. weither it is the idea, the notion, or it is in the true physical form.
