Love is just like a soap opera, or best described as a ghost. No one has ever met it, seen, and touched it. However, to some other people, love can be described as a business affair, because it can be successful to one, and unsuccessful to the other.

In other words, love doesn’t exist, and that what we are experiencing today, is simply a counterfeit affair. 

Instead of people spending their valuable time loving their beloved ones, they have concentrated all the time they have to looking for love even when it’s knocking at their door!

Delusion of love often comes as a result of not knowing the types of love and being able to read signs about the specific types.

Less people can construe love by signs yet it’s important in making long lasting love choices.

"I lost someone very special to my heart because I never saw his actions as more than mere friendly gestures,” say Agatha Nsanzabaganwa.

Like the rest, Agatha reached a point of confusion about whether her lover was serious about their love or if he was only feeling pity and sympathy for her.

If you clearly understand the three types of love, you’ll never be fooled again with this or that gesture. You’ll know who loves you and who doesn’t deserve you.

According to Center Scrap.net an online journal, there are three major types of love which are Eros, Philo and Agape.

Eros is a sex type of love and can be emotional though not longlasting.In most cases, Eros love governs most of the love relationships.

"Especially new lovers, they basically have much interest about discovering and knowing more about their bodies and sexual life,” says Lilliane Kagina.

As for Philo it defines brotherly love.  Philo love is written about in the bible. Philo is a give and take form of love; people have to love you when you love them back.

Philo love is determined by what people do to make you love them which is not good.

The third, best and most complicated type of love is the Agape. Agape is love given without expecting anything in return.

Agape love is the most effective of all these three types, a relationship built on Eros love will be no more when the emotions end.

 Philo will last as long as the person gives you love in return but agape love tolerates and stands all the wrongs of a person.

Love relationships can only last when they are based on agape love. Agape works towards perfecting all the mistakes than criticizing.

"I fell for my wife when she was 47 kgs but now she is 85kgs but my heart hasn’t changed, that’s what agape love means, nothing can ever change your mind,” says Gilbert Karimba.

Though hard to get and to give, one can determine who loves them genuinely with agape love. The few steps of knowing if its agape are.

Do these people love you for one particular thing or they are able to take you the way you are?

There is always an eye catching thing about every person but when your intended lovers keep talking about only that in particular, think twice before committing.

Also people who are less comfortable with you amongst people don’t truly love you. In anycase they are out for a secret relationship.

Agape love forgives. With a lover who can never forgive your mistakes or your past, definitely know that soon or later it will be a breakup.
