In fact, I say Bella isn't in love with Edward at all; but she's clearly infatuated.
Infatuation is the early stage of love, the passionate, crazy, cant-live-without them stage. But it's not the kind of love that grows and involves real commitment. Read this article (infatuation) and tell me Bella doesn't have all those signs.

I think Twilight has some major Love Myths:

• Infatuation is Love
  Bella is obviously consumed with infatuation; she can't live without Edward, she dreams of him, she thinks of him, she is so affected by his mere presence. and she hardly knows the guy! Those are all signs of the early stage of love-- infatuation-- not the later stages of true love.
  
• It's OK if you break commitments
  Edward tells her he will never leave, but in the second book, he ditches her. If he loves her so much, he'd let her know what was going on. He wouldn't make her suffer. Real love sticks to commitments.
  
• Relationships should not have communication
  Bell and Edward hardly spend time discussing ideas, their feelings, their religion, their future, their plans... their whole dialogue seems to consist of mushy crap like "You are my breath, I cannot live without you..."
  
  Research shows successful relationships have good communication. Edward never listens to Bella, and when they do talk, it's mostly meaningless words of love, or Edward being condescending.
  
• Falling in love fast is good
  Bella barely knows Edward, yet she's sure she's in love with him. But that's OK, according to Twilight.
  One huge sign that a guy is a shallow loser is that he falls in love fast; and he'll fall out of love just as fast.
  
• You should find the weirdest person to get into a relationship with
  Do you think Bella would be gushing over Edward if he was just some guy who was nice to her? No, she's only in to him because he's different, unique; he's a vampire. She clearly isn't falling in love with him for the right reasons-- mutual liking, compatibility-- but because he's unusual.
  
  Even Edwards is attracted to Bella because she's different-- she smells so good-- not because he actually likes her as a person.
  
• Treating your girlfriend like she's a child is fine
  Edward is so condescending; "You don't understand Bella"... Edward's always talking down to her, always treating her like she's a stupid kid. I don't know how she doesn't slap the guy.
  If Edward was dating a woman his own age, maybe he'd be less frustrated with her ignorance and be able to have a real relationship.
  
• Stalking is OK
  Edward sneaks into her room to watch her sleep. What isn't completely creepy and obsessive about that? If some guy I barely knew was coming into my room at night I'd be calling the cops.
  
• People of completely different levels will fall in love
  Edward is so much older (like 80), so much faster, knows so much more... do you think he's really going to be going to highschool? Do you think he's going to fall for a 17-year-old girl?
  
  I think Edwards "love" for Bella originates from some type of weird fantasy, perhaps below his waist.. because they obviously aren't on the same intellectual level. It reminds me of guys in their 20's who date teen girls.... just has "creep" written all over it.
  One person online put it great: "107 and 18 is pedophilia. I don't care if his body is like a seventeen year old's. Mentally, their ages are too different. "
  
• You should go for someone completely different than you
  Research shows that compatibility is very important in relationships. Marriages that involve partners from different religions, races, and backgrounds are more likely to end in divorce. I can only imagine the divorce rate for human/vampire marriages would be much higher due to the major differences.
  
• Emotionally unstable men are attractive
  Edward's clearly got a lot of problems. He goes up and down, he's violent, he command Bella around and treats her like a stupid child. One minute he's happy, the next he's furious. Twilight makes all these undesirable qualities seem somehow deep or meaningful, when in fact he's just like many other loser guys.
  
• Guys that are violent are attractive
  Again, a great message to send to teen girls; If he's rude, breaks stuff, yells, hits things, and fights with people, it's ok! Actually, it's a huge sign a guy is a loser. Guys with violent tempers are usually the ones who end up hitting their girlfriends/wives.
  
• The nice, stable guy is a second choice.
  Starting to fall for Jacob was about the smartest thing Bella did. Except she had to go fall for the loser Edward first. Instead of falling for a nice, emotionally-stable guy, who treats her well and is similar to her... she falls for a dangerous vampire who treats her condescendingly, is a terrible communicator, and has nothing in common with her.
  
• You should care more about a guy than your own life and safety
  Bella consistently makes stupid choices and puts herself in dangerous situations, but to her it's OK because she's saving the one she loves (that she just met). Love is no excuse for blatant stupidity; Bella needs to grow a sense of self-preservation (and a little guy sense).
  
• Love is all about intense feelings, not actions
  Twilight doesn't show any of the good points of a stable couple in love; Like good communication, ability to compromise, ability to manage finances, dedication to make the relationship work, ability to see the other's point of view, emotional intimacy, compatible personalities, and similar beliefs.
  
  Instead, it lies to teen girls, telling them love is all about passionate feelings - not actions and commitment. If you can say you love someone and create mushy phrases, that's real love according to Twilight... not taking time to work on making the other happy.

  Now that you know the unhealthy love myths from Twilight... read about the signs of real love here.
