It is notable that the descriptions are rough categories of types of love and not exclusive to each other. That is, more than one can appear between the same people. For instance, if Alice meets Bob at a [[Sci Fi]] convention and they continue to get together to talk about sci-fi, then they have Phileo. If Alice and Bob in the process become each others' [[Love Interest|Love Interests]], they will also have Eros, but if they still get together to talk about sci-fi they still have Phileo. If they get married, [[Happily Married|live happily ever after]], [[Grow Old With Me|grow old together]] and like each others company simply because they are there, that is Storge. And if they make [[Heroic Sacrifice|Heroic Sacrifices]] for each other, that is Agape.
 
Related to [[Like Brother and Sister]] and [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]. Agape is also a [[Super -Trope]] of [[Heroic Sacrifice]].

== Film ==
* In the animated film version of ''[[Coraline (Film)|Coraline]]'', the heroine is dissatisfied with her family, feeling that they don't care enough for her. This apparently invites the attention of a monster who wishes to have a child to possess and obsess over to the point that she drives them to death... as it has already done to three other children.
* <s> [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Qui Gon]]</s> [[Liam Neeson|Bryan Mills]]' daughter is abducted and sold into sexual slavery while on vacation in France in ''[[Taken (Film)|Taken]]''. Bryan heads to France, finds the slavers, kick France's butt halfway across Europe, and gets his daughter back.

== Video Games ==
* In ''[[Blaze Union]]'', an important part of Gulcasa's characterization is that he is practically incapable of differentiating between types of love due to having been abused. He tends to perceive all types of affection directed towards him as phileo-love, and feels agape-love for his comrades and eventual subjects (which [[Yggdra Union|winds up]] [[Hundred -Percent Adoration Rating|being requited]]). As he's a [[The Messiah|Christ]] [[Messianic Archetype|analogue]], this is probably intentional.
** Though tragically enough, it's his inability to function without having someone fill the position in each of the loves (his desperate desire to be loved and needed by people) that eventually creates the instability needed for him to be the [[Big Bad]] of [[Yggdra Union]] (well, for a certain [[Gray and Gray Morality|definition of bad]] anyways)
* In ''[[Radiant Historia (Video Game)|Radiant Historia]]'', [[The Hero]] believes this separates himself from the [[Big Bad]].
