Love styles. Love styles are modi operandi of how people love, originally developed by John Lee (1973,[1] 1988[2]).

Love styles

He identified six basic love styles—also known as "colours" of love—that people use in their interpersonal relationships: Clyde Hendrick and Susan Hendrick of Texas Tech University expanded on this theory in the mid-1980s with their extensive research on what they called "love styles". They have found that men tend to be more ludic, whereas women tend to be storgic and pragmatic.

Mania is often the first love style teenagers display. Relationships based on similar love styles were found to last longer. Hedgehog's Dilemma.
