What is the philosophical difference between loving a lover and being IN LOVE with them...ex - my girlfriend says she is not in love with me but that she does love me - I do not understand the distinction and also I think that I have autism

I think your girl is autism fαm bc that shit makes 0 sense
She doesn't want to hurt your feelings, but she is no longer romantically interested in you.
"in love" = excessive romantic/sexual infatuation, usually childish, girlish, almost puppydog-like love, obsession, enamoration, etc...
loves you = more long-term and mature

Descriptions aren't exactly correct
I love lots of people. My parents, my close friends, even a couple coworkers. I am only in love with that one woman with whom I could see myself spending the rest of my life, romantically/sexually/etc. does that clear up the difference? That at least is what most people mean when throwing around those phrases

This.
Also, as a tip, when you declare your love for a woman be sure to say "darling, I believe myself to be IN love with you" and they will cherish the distinction. Saying "I love you" is much more casual and less likely to be remembered.
