based on the color wheel theory of love. repost don’t reblog.
bold the traits of each type of love that are most relevant to your muse.
[ EROS ‒ ROMANTIC LOVE ( sensuality, intensity, passion ) ]
feels strong physical and emotional connection through the relationship | begins with a partner who is a stranger and evokes immediate excitement | maybe is exclusive but not possessive | seeks early sexual adventure, variety and technique | is ready for love and the risks.
[ LUDUS ‒ COMPETITIVE LOVE ( teasing, attention, fun before commitment ) ]
is not ready to commit to anyone | has no intention of falling in love | is anxious about a partner who is too intimate | allows early sexual activity only for fun, without emotional connections.
[ STORGE ‒ FAMILIAL LOVE ( loyalty, siblings, and friends, commitment ) ]
is not looking for love but is ready if encountered | is quietly possessive but not overly jealous | believes love comes from friendship but not a goal of life | only has sexual desires after commitment is declared.
[ MANIA ‒ OBSESSIVE LOVE ( obsessions, possessiveness, jealousy ) ‒ ludus-eros ]
is anxious about falling in love and has expectations of pain | quickly becomes overwhelmed by thoughts of their partner | forces partner into showing affection and emotion | is easily frustrated and does not enjoy sexual intimacy | is very possessive and jealous.
[ AGAPE ‒ ALTRUISTIC LOVE ( unbreakable, forgiveness, wholistic ) ‒ eros-storge ]
is attracted to several types of people | meets people easily so most likely will begin with a stranger | feels concern and care for each partner they have | is neither jealous nor obsessive | enjoys sex and is willing to improve it.
