During the process of translating the Holy Bible into English language, at that time English vocabularies were scarce had like 6,000 words that needed to translate like 12,000 words from Greek and Hebrew languages into what later called KJV. So, the word 'Love' that is mentioned 310 times in 280 verses of Holy Bible (KJV) implies more meaning than just common love meaning as most of us knew. Now by examining that word in its original context you will realise actually originated from 4 ancient greek terms with totally different meaning as used in Ancient Greek Bible that was then all rendered in English translation as Love;
1. Agape love (the love of God); high form of love, charity found in God which is unconditional like that one manifested in John 3:16.
2. Storge Love (Love of a parent which is protective love); this familial love referring to natural and instinctual affection.
3. Phileo Love (Brotherly or friendship love); that which only desires good things for others and is compassionate.
4. Eros Love (Passionate or Romantic Love); love which comes with feelings of arousal that are shared between people who are physically attracted to one another.
In all those four kinds, other three have no point of reference without the first one (Agape Love).
Based on above analysis you know now what kinds of love dominate you, that which you always give-out.
