It's best to frame claims as statements rather than questions.

This is a question about semantics, not factual accuracy.

My understanding is that being "in love" means being romantically infatuated with the other person.

"Loving someone" means having a high level of affection for person, whether romantically or platonically, and can refer to any person, not just a romantic partner.

Good job identifying this claim as a question and one that cannot be fact-checked.
