Love styles

How you love: six colours of romance

Sociologist John Alan Lee described six styles of loving: passionate (Eros), playful (Ludus), friendship-based (Storge), practical (Pragma), possessive (Mania) and selfless (Agape). Most people mix several. Partners with very different styles can misread each other's love.
