Like and love are typically very interchangeable in Japanese, because it is extremely rare for stronger terms to be used. When someone says "like" (tsuki), it is typically meant in the romantic manner. It's a difference that doesn't translate well into English, since our language tends to draw a heavier difference between "like" and "love".
