In the Great Gatsby, did Myrtle truly love Tom or did she just want him for his money and social status?

I would argue she did not really love Tom. When she meets with Tom and Nick she explains why she is dissatisfied about her husband and mentions that she thought she was marrying a gentleman. Tom has the wealth and status to impress her, but more importantly his high place in society makes her feel special and romantic. Rather than simply trudging through life, it appears this woman wants some sort of higher purpose. Unfortunately, she is searching for it  in all the wrong ways. First she marries her husband, then she begins an affair with Tom. What she does not realize is that Tom does not respect her and will never give her a serious relationship, and that even if he were to do such a thing she would never find the joy she is looking for. She would most likely end up in the same sad state where we find Daisy when she enters the novel.
