Being in love (l'amour fou) a pathological variant of loving. Being in love = addiction, obsession, exclusion of others, insatiable demand for presence, paralysis of other interests and activities. A disease of love, a fever (therefore exalting). One 'falls' in love. But this is one disease which, if one must have it, is better to have often rather than infrequently.
