Loveless pair become confused in silly talk (7)
I believe the answer is:
twaddle
'silly talk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'loveless pair become confused' is the wordplay.
'loveless pair' becomes 'tw' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'become confused' becomes 'addle' (I've seen this before).
'tw'+'addle'='TWADDLE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twaddle that I've seen before include "Piffle" , "Trivial/foolish speech" , "Claptrap" , "Foolish speech" , "Balderdash" .)
