What about «to be love-struck»? Wiktionary
The Wikipedia article gives some more information too:
Being lovestruck means having mental and physical symptoms associated with falling in love: ‘love-struck. It means to be hit by love… you are hit in your heart by the emotion of love’.

Also love-stricken.
