You may have had your share of love experiences. But do you know the ten types of love that you’ll definitely experience in your life no matter what?

#1 Platonic love- is the simplest of all types. There are no strings attached and no intimate intentions either. It’s pure, friendly and something we experience from a very young age when we still don’t know why we have the things we have inside our underwear.The kind of relationships you share with siblings, close childhood friends and even a few grownup friends can fall right here. Do you remember the first time you missed a friend? That was probably your first platonic love moment.

#2 Limerence and crushes- on the other hand, is rather close to a crush but much more intense and “weird”. Have you ever liked someone madly, but didn’t ever want to express your love for them, like a school teacher or an actor, or even a crush? Sometimes, you may have an intense infatuation for someone, but yet, you wouldn’t want to spoil the happy thoughts by doing anything about it. Ever been there?

#3 Unrequited love- Unrequited love is a love filled with heartbreaks and one that almost all of us have experienced. It’s the dreaded one sided love, where you like someone and you know that person will never like you back. They may be in a relationship, or they may just use you. You find yourself falling more in love with each passing day, even though you know you’ll never get any happiness out of this type of love.This is the type of love that gives love a bad name. But you know what, it also helps you understand the real value of reciprocal love.

#4 Obsessive love- an obsessive lover is someone who’s addicted to their partner

#5 Selfish love- Selfish love is smart. And though it involves two people to create that relationship, selfish love also involves two people who are in love with one person. Your partner loves you. You love you.

#6 Awww love- Awww… that’s so cute. This type of love is the most spontaneous and yet, the one you’ll forget the soonest. It lasts for a few seconds, sometimes even less and some other times, a lot longer.

#7 Same sex love- is an emotion you’d feel for your friend or even a celebrity, but it’s got less to do with intimate attraction and more to do with awe, respect and admiration.

#8 Lusty love- Lusty love is the type of love you experience when you lust for someone or get into a relationship with someone you’re extremely sexually attracted to.

#9 Romantic love- You’re happy. Your lover’s happy. The world’s happy for you. And you’re having the time of your life!

#10 Unconditional love- Do you love someone more than you love yourself? Do you care about your lover more than you care about anything else is the world? Chances are, you may be experiencing unconditional love.
