This question came up during my work on Romeo and Juliet for CPS Shakespeare!, and it was a topic of many a heated discussion. Today, one of the ensemble members re-posted the question on facebook, and here is my response:
Both! You can act in a loving manner toward someone you're mad at, which is entirely a choice. And sometimes it's impossible to not keep on loveing someone, in spite of all the logical reasons you have for thinking that loving them is a bad idea.
I also think there's a big difference between LOVING someone and being IN LOVE with someone...

This is very close to what I believe. Basically, there are two kinds of love (speaking of love in the romantic sense - there are lots of other things that love might mean):
The first type is helpless; there is no choice. Alone, it is infatuation, maybe, but it's the dumbstruck feeling that there are so many songs about.
The other type is a choice.
"True" love is both.
