No. For example, to say "Ian loves Felicity" is merely shorthand for "Ian experiences a strong, partially sexual attachment to Felicity, due to a combination of a hormonal response and envionmental factors," or something. If you say, "Ian is enamoured of his darling Felicity," then that doesn't add any information, it just makes it sound more soppy. QED.
