Just like philia relationship and eros love (eg. friendship w/ crushes, romantic friendship)

But just because it's not serious doesn't mean it's ludus. There's such thing as innocent romance, not serious yet, especially when nothing is confessed yet. Innocent romance aka the first of seven levels of romance.

Type of relationship doesn't dictate what love is expressed, and vice versa. You do realize that the love comes from relationships, right? It doesn't just stem out of nowhere. They arent the same, but they are highly correlated. You can't just say its whatever relationship you want, then slap on eros. No, that's not what I meant.

Well, actually it is but...

No wonder why there are friendships but they have romantic feelings for each other or love each other romantically, especially crushes. That's mainly because nothing is confessed yet, or they are just not committed to it, or they are patient enough to wait for the right time for that kind of relationship. But still, it's friendship and not romantic relationship, yet.
