Be in love

Meaning:

We can say that we are in love with someone if we have very strong romantic feelings for that person. We are usually in love with the person that we are married to, but, of course, this is not necessary. We can be in love with our girlfriend or our boyfriend. We can also be in love with someone that doesn't love us back, however unfortunate that is. The important thing to remember here is that it's a feeling of strong romantic love.

Example sentences:

1. I'm in love with you.
2. He's in love with her.
3. They are really in love with each other.
