Hey can you read this intro. paragraph for me and tell me if it sounds ok. I'm not sure I like the first part but I'm not so sure about the rest of it.
I have always thought there was only one type of love, which is that feeling of overwhelming liking to someone else. I am aware that lust does exist and that it is seperate from love, being that the desire for someones body rather than their mind. In Plato's Symposium, Plato speaks of many different types of love, loves that can be taken as lust as well. He writes of six different points of view on love, coming from the speakers that attend Agathon's dinner party. Although all the men have excellent arguements on their definitons of love, it is Socrates who gives the best definition of all. Socrates gets his definition from a woman named Diotamia.
I could use all the help I can get so if anyone has any ideas on how to improve this please let me know. Thanks!

It is a very interesting topic and you started well. Try giving a bit on each of the other types of love...and examples in today's world for a few.
