How do Socrates and Phaedrus describe various kind of lovers’ behaviors?

Socrates and Phaedrus describe various kinds of lovers’ behaviors by both agreeing with Lysias’s idea of two kinds of lover which are, a non lover & lover. This illustrates the different aspects love. One describes the emotional attachment one can have that can lead to unhealthy habits such as jealousy, obsession, etc. (lover). Where as the non lover is one to be the  okay with a “give or take” type of relationship, where there doesn’t seem to be much of an emotional attachment and more so of a professional relationship.
