How not to say I Love You!

Did a task in English class.
"I love you." is a sentence with a simple main verb.
After a modal auxiliary is added, the meaning changes.
So, we were to explain the meanings by adding a clause to the sentences.

Here's what we came up with...

I may love you but I am not very sure.
I might love you if I thought about it.
I can love you if I make the effort to.
I could love you if circumstances were different.
I will love you for the rest of my life.
I would love you until the end of time.
I shall love you after you have slimmed down.
I should love you but I don't.
I must love you because you're my husband.
I have to love you because we've been married for 15 years.
I ought to love you because you saved my life.
