    Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Gifts, Acts of Service, or Physical Touch? I personally respond best to a combination of Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch, but the latter being the stronger language. What about you?

    I have yet to experience a relationship but i think it would be eye contact and just general being there for me (acts of service)

    It's how you express or feel love from someone. I generally show I love someone by acts of service or doing things for them. It's whichever one you feel is most important to you. The things listed above are the basic different ways in which people communicate love for each other.

    Physical touch and receiving gifts :slight_smile:
    (Gifts = No expensive things or something like that but I like getting a flower when I'm sick or a postcard from someone who is on vacation :slight_smile: )

    @Harve
    It's actually from a book called The 5 Love Languages written by Gary Chapman. It's about how you express your feelings for a loved one - either by physical touch, acts of service, words of affirmation, gifts or quality time. You can do the test here:

    Emotional connection, time spent together, affirmation of trust.

    I've yet to be in a relationship but I think Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.

    But Act of Service would be at the top, just the thought of someone doing something for me?? Is nice :slight_smile:

    A cute gesture, some intimacy, maybe some deep kissing, a song, anything you could imagine being a gesture of someone's love, I would melt immediately. n_n <3 I'd also like to hear what he's thinking once in a while, and words of affirmation for his love, definitely.

    Anything passionate and gentle. I've got the hopeless romantic syndrome.

    Very interesting question. I would say I respond most strongly to words of affirmation with physical touch being a close second.

    I think I'm more of a combination of Quality Time and Physical Touch, definitely the last one. The more I'm around a person for long periods of time, the more I get comfortable with a person and feel loved since this (to me) would show that the person has a mutual desire to be around me, as well as showing a type of actual commitment to the relationship. After all, words are just words, gifts are just gifts, and physicality is just physicality if all of these are not backed up by dependability (actions) and quality time. This goes even for the people I consider really good friends.

    I took the test last semester. I'm "quality time." It's very true to me. I love service, but I really appreciate people spending time with me, OR taking time to do something for/with me.

    physical touch (I'm a big cuddler), quality time, and acts of service. I'm not one who is good with words.

    I came out to a near-even split between acts of service (10) and quality time (9), with physical touch giving a strong showing (7).

    I often need help with certain things, and when I can't get the help I need from anyone, it makes it hard to believe that anyone cares about me. I'm not sure whether that's because acts of service are important to me, or if it's the reason they have become important to me.

    I found the Apology languages interesting, too (from the same website). I'm an "accept responsibility" person, there. I just find apologies pointless if the person hasn't really acknowledged that they were wrong and responsible for their actions. Other things--regret (feeling sorry), repentance (doing differently in the future), making amends (repairing the harm or making it up to you) and asking for forgiveness (acknowledging that the other person doesn't have to forgive you, that it is a kindness for them to do so)--those are all nice and everything, but I feel like they all really rely on the acceptance of responsibility. It doesn't matter how they try to please me, if it seems to me like someone doesn't really know that they were wrong, it makes it infinitely harder for me to forgive them.
