Only and just can usually be used interchangeably to mean merely.
"I only (just) want my fair share." " This is only (just) the beginning."
When used to mean no more than they are usually interchangeable, but only is more common.
"There are only (just) ten people working there now."
When used to mean as recently as they are usually interchangeable.
"Only (just) a year ago, he was broke, but now he owns a new Mercedes."
When used to mean solely, you may be able to use either word, but it may subtly change the meaning.
"This gym is only for women." (Men keep out!)
"This gym is just for women." (Ladies, here's a gym just for you!)

In other senses, only one can be used.
"She wore her only good dress."
"He will only do it if you pay him."
"She just left."
"He got there just in time."
"It was just what she wanted."

Love and like? The short answer is that love is a much stronger emotion than like.
"I love my wife, I am happy when I am with her, I am sad when we are apart, I smile when I think of her, I feel good when she smiles at me, I would do anything for her, I would lay down my life for her."
"I like chicken and rice. I like beef and potatoes too."

"Love is often used to mean like very much."
"Fruitcake! I love fruitcake!"

Hope this helps.
