The proceeding are the main types of love (originally stated in Ancient Greece):

  • Agape - love for all, everyone, all nobly acting and innocent people (largely or so at a minimum say, e'en also for the longer term potential of those guilty of severe crimes)

  • Storge - abiding love, something we are open to and able to endure and strive for, perhaps greatly, ourselves

  • Philautia - self-love (as may be enlightened altruism somehow, eventually, with some faith)

  • Philea - the love of friends, platonic love

  • Ludus - mature playfulness, child-likeness

Though these may e'en seem dubious as types of loves and rather as merely ways to indulge, a case may be made for these also if wisely practiced:

  • Mania - zealous (or plausibly obsessive which would be a bad type of mania) fascination, curiosity, involvement, etcetera

  • Eros - allowing our (natural) passions to flame, to arise, ideally consensually (and legally)

Other purported types of love are not truly legitimate to me at this time. Every good moment of loving-kindness in my life quite neatly falls under one or more of the above categorizations of love (and yes, they are only categorizations, typifications, not meant to limit love's boldness nor sweetness whatsoever).
