If you can put your nose in your cat's furry tummy and not get your face taken off. That's true love.
The Greeks I find had four (4) words for love:
Eros (sexual love) Storge (love of family) Phila' (brotherly love) and agape' (principled love / love based on principles)
Thus, the definition of Christ-like Love is the principled love defined at 1 Corinthians 13:4-6
Love is what drives morality, love is what you put your faith in in order to move mountains. Love is the meaning of life. Love is God.
The ^above^ post reminded me about the neighborly good Samarian whose 'set of actions' was: See a need/do a deed.
In other words, on a one-on-one basis he broadened out or widened out in showing practical love in action.

Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me no more.
Love is a strong emotion giving a feeling of deep affection.
Love is when the one you loves happiness is more important than your own.
Love is complete honesty and trust.
Love is never having to say you are sorry

God is love.
All true human love is a reflection of the Divine.
A lot of what we tend to call love is just infatuation.
All the other posters have expressed things I agree with. I'll add that at the level of the physical, magnetic attraction is a low form of love. At the animal level, sexual attraction and care for offspring is love. At the human level, love is all of that and more - love in its pure form is where the happiness of another becomes your happiness. At the Divine level, the culmination of love is the union of the individual with Divinity.

To us, love is in what you do not what you say.
