Types of Love according to Sternberg (1988)


1. Nonlove: Like casual interactions with acquaintances

2. Liking: Intimacy is present but passion and commitment aren't.

3. Infatuation: Love at first sight

4. Empty Love: Commitment is present but no passion or intimacy.

5. Romantic Love: Passion & intimacy but no commitment.

6. Companionate Love: Mostly among older couples, passion is replaced by committed friendship.

7. Fatuous Love: Passion & commitment without intimacy (quickie marriage)

8. Consummate Love: full love with passion, intimacy and committment.
