The Origin Of 8Loves:
8Loves.com continues the evolution of the Eight Loves types in Greek Philosophy and others, to include C.S. Lewis and John Alan Lee. Within this system, we see a balance of Emotion and Intention, Desire and Lust, Friendship and Love, Companionship and Self Care. We have taken the love theory system and expanded it to other pursuits: Dating, Travel, Language Immersion, and Comedy. We believe dating, traveling, laughter, and language create a world of “uninhibited global adventure.” Our goal at 8 Loves Dating is to help find the best match for each person. We differ from the prevailing dating platforms, which start with a query of gender, age, location, and what type of situation one seeks. We believe intention governs interaction.

Eight Types of Love, by Gaynor Kane, is a contemporary exploration through poetry of the eight categories of love as classified by the ancient Greeks: Ludos, Eros, Mania, Philia, Philautia, Pragma, Storge, and Agape. Love is multifaceted, and relationships can be complex, even complicated sometimes.
The sequence was written by Gaynor in response to the June 2021 Hedgehog Cult Challenge, which was to write poems that are “Stories of Love.” The process began with some research around the topic of love, and the Greek categories then became the structure around which Gaynor created the stories. Gaynor's mentor, Mary Montague, has endorsed the collection, saying:
“The language is sumptuous or spare, ribald or tender. Threat and loyalty are captured with equal precision, while the humour ranges from tongue-in-cheek to outright hilarity.”
