Here is my general concept of love: It's a warm feeling based upon knowing and accepting someone. This relationship often involves mutual learning, caring and growth. Also, when you love someone you generally want them to be happy.
14 Different Kinds of Love:
INFATUATION - love feelings toward a love subject that are largely based upon fantasy and idealization (instead of experience). Often when partners get to know each other, infatuation diminishes.
ROMANTIC LOVE - an abiding love for a partner with whom you feel passion, attraction, caring and respect.
EROS - a passionate love usually involving sexually feelings for a love interest.
COMPASSIONATE LOVE - feeling of warms towards a friend with whom you love to spend time.
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - A type of affection and caring that is so strong that you feel it consistently, regardless of what other person does.
CONDITIONAL LOVE - A love that requires specific actions or conditions in order to be maintained. For example, at its extreme, a parent who give very conditional love would only love their child when he get excellent mark in examination, becomes a surgeon and has two children. The love is based on outside conditions and when they do not occur, the love is withdrawn.
PUPPY LOVE - A childish, innocent temporary crush on someone that you don't know well.
MATERNAL LOVE - This term usually connotes love that is nurturing, accepting and protective. In actuality this love also be given by a father and etc.
PATERNAL LOVE - This term connotes love that involves guidance and some authorithy. Peternal love usually prepares a child to be ready for the outside world. Again, in reality this type of love is not gender specific.
SOUL MATE LOVE - This type of love is describe as a love that has survived multiple life times. Not everyone believe in this concept.
SPIRITUAL/DIVINE LOVE - This type of love recognize the Divine light in everyone and everything. Love is given to everyone as an act of loving god.
SELF LOVE - This is a positive feeling that you have about who you are and what you deserve. It often is expressed by treating yourself well, respecting yourself, wanting yourself to be happy and expecting others to respect you too.
BROTHERLY LOVE - This term connotes having a feeling of love for your neighbour, because all humanity considered to be part of a larger family of human beings.
TOUGH LOVE - This term usually used to describe a love that is expressed by setting boundaries for the good of the other person. So for example, a parent may send their teenager to rehab if he is drug addicted, even if he does not want to go. They feel that is an act of love because it stems from a desire for their son's ultimate good and happiness.
