Types of Love, as we experience it today

        All these types of love are in fact so relatable that you’re bound to have experienced some of them.

            1.  New Love
        This love is fun. You don’t even realize you love them. It’s more of a ‘like,’ honestly, because you’d never admit to yourself it’s love. It’s not a deep love,
        but more of a “call me back, and also don’t get hit by a truck, thanks,” kind of love. Regardless, it’s a bundle of nerves and a whole bunch of fun at the same
        time. It’s miserable because it can be taken away so quickly, but you’re also just so hopeful it will last. It’s the cutest of love, next to old peoples love, which
        I’ll get to later.


            2.  Routine Love
        You’ve been dating for a while, and you love each other. It’s just a fact. There’s a cosy comfort in this person. Routine sounds like it’s a bad thing, but it’s
        really not. It’s simplicity. There’s no questioning. There’s no hiding your feelings for each other and it’s great. They’re right there for you, and you’re right
        there back. There’s comfort in that.


            3.  Infatuation Love
        You love the idea of this person. You want them, but outside of that, there’s really no connection. This love is often fleeting, a whirlwind. There’s so much
        about this person that you want to be a part of, but low and behold, there’s not much meat to the relationship now, is there? You love the thought of being
        with this person, and you want to be with them. But once you have them in your grasp, you realize that you aren’t quite meant for each other the way you
        thought. This kind of love can be the one that breaks your heart in the easiest way.


            4.  Friend Love
        You want to love this friend, but it’s just not there. Like you love them, but you don’t love them. It’s just not there for you. You’d be perfect for each other,
        but they just don’t get it going for you, hence why you’re friends. But that’s okay. You provide a different support for each other than a lover ever could.


            5.  Fake Love
        You want it to work so badly. But guess what? It doesn’t. So you force this idea onto yourself that this person is “good enough” for you and you are “good
        enough” for them, so you march along onto the beliefs handed to you during childhood about what you should be doing with your love life – fall in love,
        marriage, house, babies, etc. But maybe not with this person. If the realisation finally hits you like a steam train, cut it off and find yourself an “In It To Win
        It Love.”


            6.  The “One” Love
        They’re it, the one. Plain and simple. It might take a while for you to realise it, but they’re it. You might break up, get back together, break up again, etc, but   Page352
        at the end of it all, you realise that there is no one quite on earth like this person. You’d give everything for them. They’re so perfect that you almost hate
        them for it, because you didn’t think there would be a person in the world that could make you feel this way.
