>Young love
When you're in high school or college and you date for the first time. Exciting but doesn't last long. Just don't endup with a child at this age.
>Love at first sight
Happens when you have an unhealthy attachment style. Usually avoidant. Avoidant feel intense love at first,which leads to lovebombing, and eventual discard, when those intense feelings subside
>"Just Dating" / "Seeing each other"
This is what i would say if i was deeply afraid of commitment
>Loving a friend
This is actually not that bad if the feeliings are reciprocated. you get to be love someone you're actually bonded to
>Someone who you genuinely appreciate and feel grateful for being able to meet, and can make you emotional because of how they make you feel
See above
>Being "in love"
First 2-3 years, when the relationship is still new and in honeymoon phase. if you're avoidant/commitment issues that can be 1 year or less
>Long term love
Both people have a stable attachment style, and don't stop loving each other after the honeymoon phase ends
>Falling out of love
Most common reasons are unstable attachment styles or commitment issues, or partner turned abusive.
>Settling
Being with someone just for the sole reason that you don't think you can "do better" but you don't want to be single. The person will either leave as soon as they find someone else into them or cheat. Ends up hurting both people

>Young love
When you have no idea and you get caught blindsided by strong feelings of desire towards someone. You want to do everything for them to be happy and to be with them always. You have few boundaries and if they let you, you stick to them like glue and people please to hell and back. If they feel the same way towards you, you have a wonderful time for the longest of time possible.
>Love at first sight
You see someone and you get the impression that you know them. They seem so familiar to you. You want to be with them. You are infatuated.
>"Just Dating" / "Seeing each other"
Few rules, few regulations, you both have an interest in each other. You try to see if there is secondary attraction and compatibility.
>Loving a friend
You appreciate them a lot. You want to protect them and help them but you don't want to be with them all the time, you don't want to kiss them or know every detail about them and you are not infatuated.
>Someone who you genuinely appreciate and feel grateful for being able to meet, and can make you emotional because of how they make you feel
That honestly comes across as someone you look up to or idolise.
>Being "in love"
In love means infatuated or bewitched. Your mind is occupied by the person daily. You feel excitement and glee to see them and spent time with them. You look forward to being around them. Butterflies.
>Long term love
Contentment that comes after infatuation/honeymoon phase ends. You are still attracted, want to spend time with and find the person appealing but you feel close to them and content in a way. Not likely to grovel during this phase and you see the person better for who they are and accept them.
>Falling out of love
When you start getting the ick or seeing the person in a negative light.
>Settling
I think of this as two different definitions, one, you stop dating around for the sake of it and actually commit to long term and two, you go into a relationship with someone who does not meet your standards or a standard that some consider objective/universal.
