RelationshipsArchetypeTypes of Love Test — Sternberg's Triangular Theory

Nonlove

None of the three components has taken hold yet.

On all three counts — closeness, pull, intent — this bond currently reads low. Sternberg's name for that is blunt, but the reading doesn't have to be: what you have here is an acquaintance, a working relationship, something early that hasn't been built yet, or something that quietly unbuilt itself while you were busy. Most of the people in anyone's life sit here, and that is neither a failure nor a verdict. What's worth noticing is which of the three is closest to the line, because that's the one that would move first if this were to become something. The cost of this position is only a cost if you wanted it to be otherwise — and if you did, the test just told you where the work would start.
