Yes. "Love" has a more wide "meaning" than the "being in love".

you have to learn in your young life-thear is romanic-love,like when you love a husband-and there is just friend love,with no romanace involed.but you must know to keep it seperate-if you blur that-fine line-it could backfire.

 Absolutely, In fact most poeple saying i love you very rarely mean it. When you love someone it can mean many things in many ways. However when you are in love with someone there are very few words or ways to truly explain how you feel. For exapmle i am in love with someone right now yet i can't make this person know how much because i cant actually explain how she makes me feel. The best way i can describe it is that i would die for this person, she is the last thing i think of at night, the first thing i think of in the morning and the one i dream about. I hate sleeping now cos reality with this person is better than dreams. However i love her as a friend too and will do anything to protect her. I kind of hope that makes sense. and helps.

 definately ok to love someone but not be 'in love' with them. no matter how much they want you to be or how much you wish you could be! we cant fall in love with everyone who wants it from us.

 Absolutely! There are many forms and degrees of love. You can love your sister, or love your pet, or love shopping, or love friends, or love your husband. And you ABSOLUTELY can love someone dearly without being "in love" with them!

 yes that is possible. Being in love with someone is having to be around them constantly there in your heart and no matter whats going on at the time there always in the back of your mind ! just loving someone is loving them as a person but you havnt actually got that proper emotional connection with them quite yet. Your just getting to know them as a person and you dont know there likes and dislikes.
just my opinion on my past experiences haha xxx
hope it helped 3

 Hmm your wording is a bit off.
Yes it is possible. It is not though a degree of romantic attachment.
For example, I love my best friend deeply, but there is no romance between us.
It is possible to love someone you attracted to without being in love with them - it isn't a lesser degree of attachment, just a different type thereof.
