I don't know much about love, either. Hell, I can't even tell when people are flirting with me unless the flirting is pretty darn obvious. And when it is that obvious, I feel uncomfortable because, to me, it came out of nowhere. And then there are the random scary guys who ask if I "want to go out back?" *shudders* I have yet to have a significant other, yet. Anyway, it's not really that unusual to not recognize love. Not everyone "just knows."
I also talk to people in my head, although all the people in there don't actually exist outside of my imagination and I use them to write original ficton stories, so I can get away with calling them muses. Some people I've known seem bothered by this, but others, especially my friends, think it's utterly cool that I have this whole other person/group of people in there with me.
There was an article online somewhere I saw recently that compared muses to imaginary friends. I think the link is somewhere in metafandom
