No, there is no difference. ASL does not conjugate verbs with an 's' at the end for third-person subjects like English does. You will use the exact same crossed-arms sign for 'love', 'loves', and 'loved'.
While you can use this sign, ASL often uses a different sign called 'kiss fist' (kissing the back of your fist and moving it outward) to express a strong preference or 'love' for inanimate things like food, movies, or hobbies.
No, it does not matter which arm crosses over the other. Most signers naturally place their dominant arm on top, but either way is perfectly acceptable and will be clearly understood by others.
