For me, a good love song:
-makes my heart aspire to be a gymnast and do tiny somersaults
-makes me press the repeat button because I can't get enough of it (although if I am going through a difficult time and it's a depressing song, I would listen to it once and move on to other, less unhappy songs. Or maybe just skip it altogether like I do to Adele songs. I love her voice, but goodness is she overplayed. Except for Skyfall, which I love because of the movie, which is superb, by the way!)
-has to be well-written
-has to be guitar or piano-driven
-is soulful
Examples:
Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart
Boyce Avenue - Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls
Mumford and Sons - Lover of the Light
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - Stars
Dashboard Confessionals - Stolen
Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up
The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Muse - Starlight
Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars - Safe and Sound
Coldplay - Yellow
The Temper Trap - Love Lost
Kings of Leon - Use Somebody
