Love is everywhere. Whether it is romantic love between partners (or potential partners), friendly love, paternal and filial love, or love for causes, ideas or concepts, love is one of the most fundamental features of human existence, and has been since the earliest days of humanity.
Here on MeetLove.net, you can familiarize yourself with the concept of love–what the ancient philosophers thought of the concept and how they came up with different definitions of love and its various manifestations, how love of all forms plays an essential role in our everyday lives, and the way love has influenced art and different forms of expression of human creativity.
The "Types of Love" page deals with the history and philosophy of love, and the way love has been categorized from ancient times through today.
One of the most common forms of love, and something that the term is generally used to denote, is romantic love, or romance–for more information on the idea of romantic love (or "eros," as the Greeks called it), its definition and its common manifestations and effects on our daily lives, check out the "Romantic Love" page.
Romance has certainly found a perfect avenue of expression in the form of art. There is a long history of romantic poetry, romantic prose (including popular romantic novels and historical romance books), romantic paintings, and most recently, romantic films and love songs. To learn more about the romance genre in different forms of artistic expression, check out "Romance in Art."
