Is there any limit to interpreting counterfactual conditionals such as: if i were you, i'd love me.?

I'm not sure I understand your question.  I certainly think that the meaning of counterfactuals can be unraveled in a systematic way.

Aha! The liar paradox rears its ugly head again....\n\nThe asnwer is - neither true nor false. The propositional content and the semantic content of the statement contradict each other.\n\nTo unpick this paradox, you have to separate the statement from the proposition it contains. \nNote that the proposition has a positive truth value - it claims that "[yadda yadda] IS [bladiblah]"\n\nNow...\n\nIf the statment is true, the proposition that it contains is rendered false, leading to a self-contradiction.\nSo [This statement is false.] is false.\nBut if it is false that the statement is false then the proposition it contains is rendered true, and again the statement is rendered self-contradictory.\n\n(Repeat ad nauseum)\n\nIf you got that, ponder this one. It's a doozy:\n\n"This staitmennt contaynes three mistakes"

Yes you can.\ne.g. "Once, long ago, on a faraway evening in a faraway land, a young prince ... "

i have a feeling when people say maybe \nthey are more likely to mean no...

Do you mean implication? Ie, in general, "If x, then y" is an implication.

yes, or else they would not seem so real

I think, therefore I am.\nBut if I think not, am I not?\nI think not!\nTherefore, I am.

4 i don't know.\n\n\ni have a LOT of trouble with hypothetical questions.

i would take out the ... after the ifs, since you are using [I] to replace "you."

would you translate that into a question?

what does hypothetical mean?

agree, but in case of number its not true, it is infinite

Is that the same principle as two negatives making a positive?\nThen the answer would be yes.

assume suppose to be the case, without proof.\npresume suppose that something is the case on the basis of probability; take for granted that something exists or is the case.

Imagining the world with no hypothetical situations is a hypothetical situation itself.  It's an impossible paradox.

I would: if that person was not a pathological liar, such a lie would be quite pathological: I'd immediately self-diagnose that!\n\nYes, I know, it's a paradox.
