Need your help. Is there two types of love, love and then LOVE?

there are actually 4 kinds of love if you ask the greeks... But there is one of those that doesnt really apply to this situation: Philia, Storge and Eros are the three kinds of love your relationship would likely be morphing through. Philia is the form of love that is experienced between true friends. A dating relationship is, in its earliest form, just a friendship with a different title. If you and your girlfriend exchanged "i love you"s in the very earliest parts of your relationship, you were expressing a Philia, friendly love. As you grew closer, Philia slowly became Storge, which is the love among family. This particular form of love was generally expressed among the greeks only between parents and children, but in modern day translation it has come to be between close relatives. Most of us love our parents and close family members without a second thought, and when asked if we loved them we would say of course and not even have to think about it. As a dating relationship progresses into its more involved stages, and the amount of time you've been together seems to slowly stretch into a lifetime, it simply becomes a given, if you have been together this long and are still happy, there must be love there; Storge. But Eros is what really throws people over the top. Most people give Eros love a negative connotation, saying it is the sexual or physical love that has no place on the list of words for love, and should be tossed in with a group of euphamisms for lust. However Eros in the platonic sense is the feeling of a romantic attraction which binds two people together out of the mutual desire for closeness. In a sense you are staying with this person because you really want to be with them to a point where you feel as though you need them, im guessing this is the form of LOVE that your girlfriend was talking about, saying that she does not want to live a life that does not have you in the picture.

Just as a side note, the fourth form of love is Agape, and it should exist in all relationships, both romantic and otherwise that you are in. Agape is the kind of love that wants to give everything you have for the betterment of another, and without it no two people can remain close

thanks for asking

there are different types of love, your family, friends, significant other, pet, and things like that. there is something that she may be mentioning though. many times infatuation is looked on as love. No, infatuation is not obsession extravagant passion or attraction. there is a BIG difference. infatuation is a feeling and love is a knowing thing. it is hard to understand but simple if you have an open mind. she may have notices that it was this love (infatuation) that she had for you but knowing

true love.

To be precise, there are extra beneficial than 2 varieties of affection.... and a brilliant style of many diverse stages of affection as nicely.... acquaintances can fall in love definite over the years it could ensue.... Love is by no potential pressured although... Agape love is the main severe love...

Yup Gotta say Yes.

2 kinds = 1 Being the Person you LOve but "CANT" live with out.

And then loving someone because you DON'T want to be with out them...

there are all kinds of love...love for your parents...love for your family...love for your best friend...love for your b/f or g/f, hubby or wife...and yes that kind of love.

so she knew she loved you...but being in a different country..seeing first hand how diffrently men treat women..she probably realized how lucky she was..and realized ..that she REALLY loves you...as in she loves you more now than before. i know ..sounds confusing..but to women ..we can actually love someone on different levels..whatever the case was ..she has realized that you are special....a deeper love...something us women know and you or any other man cant seem to understand!!! lol ...chalk it up to being "a woman thing" !!!
