4 Different Kinds Of Romantic Love Everyone Experiences Between Meeting Their Fifth And True Love

The idea of meeting your true, destined love is perhaps the one thing that keeps you alive and breathing. Most of us tend to idealize the perfect moment, wishing for that one person who will provoke our emotions, so pure and inexplicable, a connection so deep we have never imagined it even existed.

We dream about meeting this special soulmate who will make our heart beat faster, our body tremble, and our hands sweat merely by looking into our eyes.

Nevertheless, the truth might be disappointing. The ultimate quest for your eternal love will sometimes be long and challenging. You will come across numerous people and relationships in your life, hoping that the right person is just around that corner. Many times, you’ll feel deceived and exhausted.

However, you should not be afraid of moving forward. And you should not give up. True love exists, and it’s out there. But, I guess you know how the story goes. You may have to kiss a few frogs before life brings you the great love with whom you're meant to be.

Here are four kinds of love you will come across before you meet the last, which will be the love of your life:

1. Your FIRST Love

The first love experience in our lives is pretty much similar to riding a bike for the first time. Blindfolded. We don’t know where it’s going to take us, we don’t have the slightest idea how to do it, but we try anyway.

We feel those butterflies everyone had been talking about, we experience the sense of their lips gently placed on ours and our hearts are beating faster than ever. We become so quickly enchanted by our partner, that we think that we wouldn’t survive a day without them.

However, that’s where we’re wrong. Despite feeling hopeless after ending it, we’ll eventually manage to outgrow our pain. Just like the childhood bruise on our leg that taught us to be more careful. We learned the first lesson.

2. The DIFFICULT Love

As we move on with our lives, we’ll eventually meet someone else. This love will make us feel like we’ve found the perfect connection, only to leave us confused and heartbroken after some time.

As time passes, we realize that our partner has changed. The only problem is that they didn`t. They've been like this all along and it's only now that we clearly see who the really are. This difficult love will be like a rather uncomfortable roller coaster ride, taking us to extreme heights and agonizing lows.

Even though, it will end up in a breakup, we’ll learn the most valuable lesson. Self-care is critical and better things are ahead of us!

3. Your BEST FRIEND

Searching for the love who will provide us the stability and the security which the Difficult love failed to deliver, we’ll come across a person who will fall so hard for us that they'd do anything to make us happy. Our best friend.

This relationship will arrive exactly when we’ll need a safe place. A shelter from the cruelty. And we’ll quickly accept it, despite the fact that we don’t have the same romantic feelings.

This person will protect us and will love us more than anything in the world, yet we won’t be able to reciprocate back. We’ll notice that the passion is slowly fading away; that all there was in the first place, is genuine respect and appreciation for their kindness, but not romantic love.

We’ll keep putting pressure on ourselves pretending that everything is okay, until one day it isn’t anymore.

4. The HURRICANE

Just as we convinced ourselves that true passion and romance do not exist, our whirlwind love will come and sweep us off our feet. This relationship will be our crazy, stupid love, our romance-novel kind of love.

The intense sensation, as well as the mind-blowing gestures, will have us thinking he is the one. Unfortunately, it will eventually turn out that's too good to be true. The relationship will crash as quickly as it began leaving us extremely confused and emotionally detached.

5. Your UNCONDITIONAL Love

And right before we give up, we’ll meet the one person that will make it look like nothing before they even existed. Our destined soul. The one who was waiting for us, the whole time.

The second our eyes meet, we’ll feel as though we've known them from a previous life. We begin to wonder if we ever loved so deeply until now. We feel like we’re dreaming, yet we’re wide awake. “Is this happening?”

We don’t regret even a second of our lives because deep down we know that if it weren’t for those previous experiences, we wouldn’t be here today. We've finally found the person worth being in our lives. We’ve finally found “the one.”
