A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.
According to the ancient Greeks, there are seven types of recognizable love. However, to be
“in love”, you must experience all seven concurrently.
TYPES OF LOVE
-------------- ………………………
Erotic Love (Eros)
This is physical and passionate love. The
closest description is romantic love. Eros

type of love is philia because it is trusting
and dependable. It may transform into Eros
over time but can also exist on its own.
Friends who experience philia act as
confidants and have a lot of insight into
one other. According to the University of

own family. This is the kind of
affection that exists between brothers
or between grandparents and their
great-grandchildren. Although you do
not have romantic feelings for these
individuals, you do have a

because it is related to dependency
and familiarity rather than chosen
through mutual feeling. We do not
