The only difference I see is one of the two sounds grammarly incorrect and doesn't make sense- love you?. However, you can argue that there is a difference in saying ''I love you'' vs. ''I'm in love with you''.

On this topic, is "I love you" the same as "I'm in love with you or falling in love with you"?

The latter to me seems to indicate feelings are strong and could reach the love stage, where as "I love you" indicates you're already at that point.

Edit: I see Chicagoland beat me to this question.

No it's not. I grew to love the rebound I married but I was never 'in love' with him.

You love your parents....your children....your siblings....but you're not 'in love' with them.....

"Observance?" From what? The TV?

"I love you" is declaring confidently and definitively that YOU love someone... your being, yourself LOVES that person.

"Love you" is something I would say to a friend and it's not as serious, used when someone does me a favor, is being cute or funny..etc. It's something two hoity-toity friends say to eachother when meeting or departing and while giving the double kiss on the cheek.
I'm with you.

Yeah. There is a difference. My boyfriend and I are pretty chill, but I feel like if I say "I love you," he only replies "Love you, too," if we're in an argument. If we're happy and getting along, we always include that simple "I." I feel like if you leave it out it shows something's going on. It's too easy to include that "I" to exclude it.

I do not see the difference. There are times we say love you or I love you. Denotation of I will not make the difference just because you want to use proper grammar. I've been with my husband 11 years and we use both but most "Love You ". What's the difference none unless you are OCD with grammer.
