But I find them interesting in that they are actually types of love

sd, those don't sound like love to me at all - it doesn't seem to involve a real connection between people!

the way i 'see' it, real love is more the connection you experience with someone. the way you feel, bath in someone else's 'flavour' and let somebody else close to yours. that of course can be on a scale from little to lots. sometimes i feel another person's flavour (sorry no other word i can think of to describe what i mean) and i don't like to be connected at all. i have a neighbour like that who's flavour i just find revolting! but he's noisy bugger so upsets me frequently.

sex can or can't come in there at some point in time and must be amazimg when you connect with another person on that deep open level. for me tho i lose trust when i feel someone's physical interest. so i haven't experienced anything deep in that department. or any other really.

but anyway, for me, the whole idea of love involves a measure of 'correctness' wanting what's right for all parties involved. otherwise i think i would feel some kind of fantasy going on, rather than something real.

how t's figure in here i haven't a clue.
