6 Types of Love


I really don;t like to throw around the "love" word, but when I do you better feel special. People use the word "love" so often I feel as if it is a mask for different meanings. So I looked up the different meanings of love and what do you know, there are six of them.

Eros
a passionate physical and emotional love based on aesthetic enjoyment; stereotype of romantic love

Ludus 
a love that is played as a game or sport; conquest

Storge
an affectionate love that slowly develops from friendship, based on similarity

Pragma 
love that is driven by the head, not the heart

Mania
obsessive love; experience great emotional highs and lows; very possessive and often jealous lovers

Agape
selfless altruistic love; spiritual
