The Six Types of Love

I stumbled upon this and thought that it was so interesting, I used to think there were only two types of love. Romantic and Not Romantic. After reading these and going more in depth my relationships with people makes a lot more sense.
Eros
a passionate physical and emotional love based on aesthetic enjoyment; stereotype of romantic love
Ludus 
a love that is played as a game or sport; conquest; may have multiple partners at once
Storge
an affectionate love that slowly develops from friendship, based on similarity
Pragma 
love that is driven by the head, not the heart
Mania
obsessive love; experience great emotional highs and lows; very possessive and often jealous lovers
Agape
selfless altruistic love; spiritual
