Possible Different Types of Love

For some, there are different types of love when it comes to loving another being.

There is Love At First Sight.
Personally, I do not believe in such a thing; however, I do not disrespect it. For some, they say that love is when you look at a person for the first time and have that instant connection. Sort of like Romeo & Juliet, but hopefully with a happier ending.



There is Childhood Sweethearts.
This is love in what I believe is the most purest and innocent form. Growing up and falling in love with someone and having a mutual level of intimacy at the right age. It develops from innocent love of being friends to loving each other more than that.
At times there can be some difficulties running with this for as a person grows, so does curiosity and experiment of being with someone else than the one familiar with. However, if love is strong since the beginning, nothing should be strong enough to break such a bond.

There is Friendship/Family Love.
This is love in a respectable form. It is when loving others like family. Usually, it is nothing more nothing less. It is loving others as if they are no more than a sibling. It grows to being Family, friends, best friends, etc. This is when we start to get to know people, let them in our comfort zones. It is not "friend-zoning", so I suggest not putting oneself down.

There is Personality Matters Most Love.
As friendships grow, so could the feelings of one to the other. I personally believe in this type of love because of the foundation it starts off with. Personality begins to grow on a person which allows them to love not just the amazing characteristics of another but also the flaws. It's knowing, accepting, and loving every single thing about him/her. It is falling in love with your best friend. Now, though most of the time, friendships are the first stage in getting to know someone's personality, it is also the most difficult. When one begins to fall, the other may not have the same level of intimacy which can cause a break in the friendship itself. It is a very risky situation.
I would suggest knowing more of the person and growing the friendship that no matter what may happen, nothing can break the bond that was started out with. It may seem awkward, but it is better than ending something that took months or years to create.

There is Unconditional Love.
Despite everything a person has gone through for the other, they still love them completely. It is unconditional. An example would be a mother's love to their children or God's Love to His creations. No matter how bad life may be or how bad a person is, you still love them with all your heart.

There is also the Goodbye Love.
Just like Unconditional Love, the Goodbye Love continues on. One can still be in love with someone unconditionally no matter what the circumstances may be. But here's the difference, one walks away and lets go. As odd as that may sound, it is something to truly think about.
A few people may not understand the meaning behind such a description, so I will gladly explain:
Goodbye Love is when love still lives on however not with one another. It may sound idiotic at the moment. It is the type of love that I believe is the hardest to be in. It is the acceptance of letting the one you love go and be happy. It is also the acceptance for you to be happy on your own or with someone else. But the love that you had with the other never dies. It lives on in the memories of happiness, difficulties, and passion they once had. And forever will it stay there.


The lists grows more and more as life continues to go on. The more experiences we have, the more knowledge we gather and the more better we may be in facing on Love.

What type of love are you?

Whichever type of love you are, cherish it always, even if it grows further or stays the same. It's best to have love than none at all.
