This is from Metropolitan Life:
On the word "love"- the word Love may be used in public only to refer to inanimate or totally inaccessible objects.
A. "I love linguini with clam sauce" is always acceptable.
B. "I love Truman Capote" is acceptable only if one is not personally acquainted with him. If one is personally acquainted with Mr. Capote it is rather unlikely at this time that one would be moved to express such a sentiment.
