“I’m loving it” or “I love it”?

Why do native English speakers sometimes say "I'm loving it" instead of "I love it" when we are taught that love is a stative verb and shouldn't be used in the continuous tense? I've seen both forms used, and I'm confused about when each one is correct. Could someone explain the difference and provide a few examples?

“I’m down for that” vs. “I’m up for that”

What does it mean when someone says "I’m down for that" versus "I’m up for that"?

Is it rude to say “It doesn’t matter” when I actually mean “I don’t mind”?

Hi everyone! I'm confused about these two phrases. If a friend asks me, "Do you want to eat Italian or Mexican food tonight?", which one is more natural? "I don't mind." "It doesn't matter." To me, they both feel like I'm saying "both are okay," but I've heard that "It doesn't matter" can sometimes sound a bit cold or like I don't care about the plans at all. Is "I don't mind" considered more polite or "warmer" in social situations? I'd love to hear some examples of when you would use one over the other!
