Are there numerous kinds of 'LOVE'?
Your serious and loving thoughts would be well-loved...
Answer:
I would argue NO. I know there are all kinds of theories about it, but there is no substitute for love. For example, some people think infatuation is "romantic love." I say it is infatuation (which doesn't make infatuation BAD, but it doesn't make it love per se). Some people say there is "platonic love." I say that's friendship. Again, nothing wrong with friendship, but it's not love...although you can definitely have love for your friend.
The bottom line is that love is the same no matter who you share it with. The reason we are sexually attracted to people is lust. The reason we get butterflies is infatuation. The reason we like some people is because we admire them and want to be friends. All of these relationships can be intensified by LOVE. You love your mom, but you're not infautated with her. You love your friend but you don't lust him or her (although it's possible). Basically, the love part is the same...it's just the other things that are different in different relationships.
P.S. When people say they "fell out of love," they usually mean that they no longer feel infatuated with their partner, not that they no longer have feelings about their well-being. People too commonly mistaken love for infatuation. I think that, ideally, a romantic relationship will have both. If you are no longer infatuated, there are books on the ways you can get those feelings re-vamped.
Gag me with a spoon
I recall a course on human emotion that I took where we talked about passionate and companionate love. The idea being that many people have a very passionate beginning to their relationship but as time goes on it mellows into a more companion type of existence (instead of really intense emotions in short bursts, more even and constant emotions). Think about your grandparents if they are still together and alive... they are probably a lot more mellow with their love than you and your bf/gf in the first 2 months of your relationship.
The ways in which one person can love another are infinite and the different forms of love are at least that plentiful,throughout my life i want to love as much and as diversely as possible.
