Understanding Love My Forty-eighth Entry

Love has always been difficult for people to define partly because there are many different types. The types of love that are observed between people include:
· Romantic love
· Compassionate love
· Unselfish love
· Logical love
· Superficial love


This means that "I love you” may mean different things to different people in various circumstances or situations. If you understand your love style and what types of love you need in a relationship it will be easier to connect with an available partner.


A common mistake a person makes is to give love in the style that you want to be loved. Give your love in a way that is meaningful to your partner and you will succeed more often.
‘Love at first sight’ or sexual attraction are often infatuation and not actual love. They are not great predictors of enduring love. Infatuation is about fantasy, and romance: Not reality.

Healthy courtship can allow you to understand each other if you are willing to be authentic and honest. The developing friendship during the ‘falling in love’ period can preserve an otherwise shaky relationship and help it flourish.

Today’s Truth: Dating skills do not always translate into marital aptitude. Consider what you want in a date. If that doesn’t match what you want in a committed relationship, you are likely to create a future problem for yourself.
