Well it depends on what you consider "love". Some reptiles will prefer to be around their owners, even when food isn't involved or when given the opportunity to move somewhere that should be more comfortable. Some reptiles will only like to be around their owner. Reptiles can even get stressed out when left alone for long periods of times.
All those things I just mentioned are ways we as humans perceive if a dog loves it's owner, so why should it be any different for reptiles.
I'm curious how you know? Isn't it hard to read a reptiles face? Like if you are sitting watching TV will a snake curl up next to you? Or will the turtle chill beside you and follow you to the toilet?
The same way you know if a dog wags it's tail it's excited. Body language for reptiles is just different and more varied. Reptiles is a broad category of animals and you can't expect all of them to act in the same way.
Is it normal to treat your pets like people?

Reptiles are not loving or affectionate, period.

That's simply not true.
