7 Types of Love

29/12/2016

Relationship: Type of Love
Many of us is focused on pursuing love.  Are we aware of the different type of love and how to identify true love?  Look at the relationship you are in and consider which of the 7 types of love you are in. 

Type of Love 1 ~ Platonic love
Platonic love is the simplest of all types. There are no strings attached and no sexual intentions either. It’s pure, friendly and something we experience from a very young age. The kind of relationships you share with siblings, close childhood friends & even a few grownup friends can fall right here.
 
Type of Love 2 ~ Crushes
The first crush is a memorable experience, one that’s filled with confusing jolts in the stomach, sudden urges to throw up and a stupid sense of grinning satisfaction each time you see your crush.
 
Type of Love 3 ~ Unrequited love
Unrequited love is a love filled with heartbreaks. It’s the dreaded one sided love, where you like someone & you know that person will never like you back. They may be in a relationship, or they may just use you. You find yourself falling more in love with each passing day, even though you know you’ll never get any happiness out of this type of love.
 
Type of Love 4 ~ Obsessive love
Obsessive love is usually experienced by the novices who experience love for the first time, probably after having to deal with the scary unrequited love. Obsessive lovers are scared, insecure, & obviously obsessive about the relationship. It’s a stage experienced when we’re afraid of losing someone we love. But if you or your partner has security issues, you are in for a difficult relationship.
 
Type of Love 5 ~ Selfish love
Although it takes two people to create a relationship, selfish love also involves two people who are in love with one person. Your partner loves you. You love you. Selfish love is a narcissistic love where you don’t care about your partner or their happiness. You only care about yourself. If you ever find yourself getting into a relationship just for the heck of it without really falling in love with the other person, chances are, you’re a selfish lover.
 
Type of Love 6 ~ Lusty love
Lusty love is the type of love you experience when you lust for someone or get into a relationship with someone you’re extremely sexually attracted to. The first few weeks are all about sex.
 
Type of Love 7 ~ Romantic love
Butterflies, bliss, love songs are all you need to think of when you experience romantic love. It’s beautiful, sappy love at its best. You feel the flutter of butterflies in your stomach, the world looks so much more beautiful & you can’t hold that grin back no matter what you do. You want to be with your sweetheart all the time, & even when you’re not together, you can’t help wanting to be together. You’re happy. Your lover’s happy. The world’s happy for you & you’re having the time of your life!
