Girls this days would still like a guy to serenade them if he is courting her. It's a sign of effort for her to see that the guy is willing to sing for her even though his voice is not that good. In the Philippines it has been a tradition to most of the Filipinos.

III. Aspects of love in psychological and scientific perspective

1. Liking vs. Loving
A psychologist named Zick Rubin said that romantic love has three elements: attachments, intimacy and caring. These scales provided support for his conception of love.
2. Compassionate vs. Passionate Love
According to Elaine Hatfield and her colleagues, compassionate love usually develops out of mutual understanding and respect for one another. While, Passionate Love is characterized by intense emotions, sexual attraction, anxiety and affection.
