Welcome and be welcomed. I suggest that you get one, not 2 lovies. They will more likely bond with each other then you. Lovies also need to be handled daily so they remain tame. Some parrots are just like that, Indian ringnecks also have that reputation. But you sound like you've done some homework, and will be a loving parront.
Exactly! If you want a Lovebird, and you want it to be a very close, cuddly, loving pet that is closely bonded to you, this is very possible, BUT YOU CAN'T GET MORE THAN 1 LOVEBIRD! People often buy pairs of Lovebirds, I guess because they just think that they have to buy them in pairs. And I'm pretty sure that this is the reason that in-general Lovebirds are not thought of as being "cuddly" or loving birds towards humans. However, if you only have a single Lovebird, just like any other species of parrot, they will bond with their human if there isn't a "better" option, meaning another bird of their own species.
I highly suggest that not only do you get only 1 Lovebird, but that you only buy one from a private-breeder who hand-raises/hand-feeds their babies, and who pulls them from the nest-box and away from the parents between 2-3 weeks old (most breeders who hand-raise/hand-feed their babies do pull them either at 2 weeks old or 3 weeks old). Do not buy a parent-raised bird from a pet shop, not that they can't be hand-tamed over time, they can, but it since you have no prior parrot experience and you are looking for a loving, cuddly bird, a hand-raised/hand-fed baby from a private Lovebird breeder is definitely the way to go for you. And you shouldn't have a problem finding a Lovebird breeder locally to you, as they seem to be all over the place if you look on your local Craigslist and search outward locally to your hometown.
Once you are ready to bring a baby home (always buy the cage, toys, food, mineral block/cuttlebone, etc. BEFORE you buy the baby bird, and have it set-up and ready for him when you go to get him), and you have the cage, toys, food, etc. all ready and set-up for your baby, then start searching for a private breeder that has hand-raised/hand-fed babies, and contact them, asking if you can come and interact with the babies that they have available. You never want to just pick a baby from photos that the breeder has online, but rather make an appointment to come and see them and interact with them, so you can choose a baby that you connect with and who connects with you. This is why I suggest having the cage, toys, food, etc. set-up and ready to go before you go and interact with any available babies, because once you find one that you connect with, you'll want to bring him home, and you need to be ready to do so.
As long as you are spending the amount of time every single day that you say you can with your baby, it will bond closely with you, and there should be no issue with a hand-raised/hand-fed baby being friendly with other people in your home. As far as people who do not live with you, you can't anticipate how any bird/dog/cat or any pet is going to interact with them. The best thing you can do is to try to socialize your bird as a young baby, from day #1 when you bring him home. I always recommend that even though the bird is going to be your bird, that you locate his main-cage in the main room of the house you live in, where the people who live in the house spend most of their time when they're home. Usually this is the living room, family room, den, etc. This is very important to socializing the bird to people, being used to just being around people even if they are not directly interacting with them, being used to people walking past their cage and talking to them, and it also allows the bird to feel safe and comfortable enough that people are just in the same room as they are, they can see them as well as hear them, and they will then be happy entertaining themselves with their toys inside their cage, even when you're not home...If you were to locate your bird's main-cage in say your own bedroom, what is going to happen is that when you're not home and your bird is inside his cage and alone in your room, any time you're not home but anyone else is at home, and your bird can hear that someone is home but he can't also see them, your bird is going to most-likely not want to entertain himself but rather scream and cry all day long until you get home. This always happens, as any loving, tame bird who is bonded to a human will not be happy if they can hear someone at home but cannot also see them. The people in your house don't have to be directly interacting with them, they can do whatever they are doing, whether it be watching TV, playing video games, reading, cooking, etc., just as long as your bird's cage is located in the room where the people in your house spend their time. Then when you come home you can get your bird out of the main cage in the living room, family room, etc., and take him into your bedroom to spend one-on-one time with him (it's a good idea to buy or make a little bird-stand/play-gym for your room). This will ensure that your bird bonds closely with you, but still is friendly with the others in your house, and hopefully all people.
Also, don't worry about having his main cage in the main room of your home and "nighttime" or "sleeping", as all you need to do is when it's bedtime for your bird you put him in his cage in the living room, family room, etc. and cover it with a sheet/blanket/cover. He'll sleep soundly and the people in your house can still watch TV, read, listen to music, etc., and it won't bother him one bit...OR you can also buy a much cheaper, smaller cage to put in your room that will only be his "sleeping cage", and when it's bedtime you can move him from his main-cage in the living room/family room to his sleeping-cage in your bedroom and the cover it. A sleeping-cage for a Lovebird only needs to be a small, square cage that is the size of an average Budgie cage, like the ones you can buy at any Petco for around $30-$40. All that should be in his sleeping-cage is a perch, maybe a swing (only if your individual bird likes swings and sleeps on one), and a water dish. No toys in the sleeping cage...
