I Just Found Out My “Love Language.” Do You Know Yours?

Day 17 of 31

I’m familiar with the popular 1995 read, “The Five Love Languages,” but I never really knew what kind of love I was truly fluent in. I reckon we all speak a little bit of all 5 love languages: gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service (devotion), and physical touch (intimacy). But, I was curious to know my dominant language, so I took a quiz.

Turns out, I’m all about that quality time! This is really no surprise to me. I’ve always been a bit low-maintenance when it comes to love and friendships. I don’t care for gifts or extravagant gestures — though they are HIGHLY APPRECIATED (FYI future bae 👀). I’m happiest when I’m spending uninterrupted alone time with that special someone.

“In Quality Time, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Whether itʼs spending uninterrupted time talking with someone else or doing activities together, you deepen your connection with others through sharing time.”

TRUUUUEE!

In second place is love language “Words of Affirmation.”

“Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important— hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. You thrive on hearing kind and encouraging words that build you up.”

Words are very important to me, I will not lie. I don’t think words triumph action, though. I think they go hand in hand. Say what you mean and do what you say. It’s these intangible gifts of love that really make a connection meaningful…at least to me.

Coming in third in my love language results is “Physical Touch.” *wink wink*

“A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, and thoughtful touches on the arm—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Appropriate and timely touches communicate warmth, safety, and love to you.”

I’m all about that PDA! IDC IDC  I. DON’T. CARE.

I’m not gross about it though. I’m not making out on the subway, if that’s what you’re thinking. But holding hands, sweet little kisses, and long embraces in public are my thing. I like allat!
