In my last blog, I discussed what my love style was and why I wasn’t surprised I am what I am. To recap, my love style is Storge, so that basically means that I usually start off by being friends with people and getting to know them before getting in a relationship with someone.

Since learning about the love styles, this whole week I asked my friends to take the survey to see if I could predict theirs and also just see how different I was from others. For example, my friend Kat is a very excited and kind person. I predicted she would either be Storge or Agapic as she always cares about others more than herself. After she took the survey, I came to found out that I was wrong. She turned out to be Eros, which makes sense because her and boyfriend started dating basically as soon as they met. This goes to show you can’t really understand everyone’s love styles just based on what they show you on the outside. You don’t know what everyone is feeling, so this is why the survey was created; to understand those feelings we ourselves cannot describe.

Speaking of that, another person that I had take the survey was my friend, Jared. I’ve known him since freshman year, however, I only truly really started getting to know him this year to the fullest extent. I couldn’t really predict what his love style was because I felt like I had never been around him long enough to truly figure it out. After he took it, he turned out to be Agape. I really do think this makes perfect sense due to the way he treats me and has treated his previous relationships. Every time we talk, he tells me about how much he wants to help others and if he has done that, then he has lived a successful life.

The one thing all 3 of us had in common was that we were all high in Agape, whether it was our first one or not. This made me realize that this is why we all get along so well; because we all care about people a lot and would do anything to make others happy and we never want anything in return. We also all balance each other out really well because all of our first love styles are different, so we can give out different perspectives as well.

One last thing is that I LOVE how right after we learn this chapter, I found out that Jared liked me? I liked him? So am I just using this class for relationship tips? Will this be the only thing I get out of this class? Maybe. But for now, I kinda wanna vomit because I never talk about my feelings and no one expects it, like when in class when Dr. Law asked what you look for in a partner and I said I like it when the person you’re in a relationship with talks about their passions and their eyes light up. Some of ya’ll thought it was the cutest thing I have ever said while SOME of ya’ll looked at me like I was weird? Shocker, I do have feelings for people. But, as I said in my last blog, those who are Storge have the risk of ruining friendships because of their feelings and this is why I never talk about them. I’d rather stay really good friends with someone and keep my guard up because I always feel like I won’t get hurt that way (but I can also get hurt by not saying anything). However, maybe this time is different.

Thanks to this class, I may actually not be scared to open up even more. I still wanna vomit as I type this tho:).
