  • 15212font 12br 12br 12blockquote 10Hi,02br 02br 00It's a little rare to hear someone say " I am loving you".
  • Usually, you hear people say "I love you" or "John loves Mary dearly".
  • Even so, the sentence itself is grammatically fine.
  • "loving" is the present participle of the verb "love".

Grammar is not as expansive as language... so I think it's correct... people are alive, so is the language.
