Which of the 5 Love Languages are You? | PlayBuzz

Physical Touch

In relationships, you thrive most when you receive a lot of physical affection from your partner. It doesn't necessarily have to be lovemaking (although that is a way you strongly connect with your loved one); you feel most secure and loved when your partner gives you hugs, comes up to you for no reason to kiss you, and dotes on you physically. Chances are highly likely that this is how you show your love to your partner in a relationship. You still love to spend quality time with your partner, and verbal praise is important to you as well. Who doesn't love a bouquet of fresh flowers, or a romantic dinner? Out of the five love languages you simply thrive most with a partner who is physically affectionate and loves to cuddle and be intimate often. Now, share this knowledge with your partner so he/she knows how to love you best!

For receiving, I enjoy quality time/acts of service
For giving, I do a lot of words of affirmation but I am neutral on receiving it

Quality Time/Words of Affirmation

So you got a mix... not a surprise! Most people in fact need a mixture of love languages, and this combination fits you best. You thrive from quality time with your partner. It could mean a picnic for just the two of you (without distractions), so you can spend special time together, or it could be something smaller, like your partner turning the TV off when you walk in the door, to spend time with you after a hard day at work. It is highly likely that you are the one currently, who plans special time for you and your partner, because it is one way you feel most loved in a relationship. The other way in which you feel most loved is by verbal praise and affirmations from your partner. You need to be told, fairly often, that you are important, and why. Combine the two acts together and you are in heaven! So the next time your loved one asks you what he/she can do for you... tell him/her, "Plan some special quality time for us and write down 10 reasons why you love me." If your partner already loves you in the ways you need, perhaps share this quiz with him/her to understand if you are loving your partner in the ways he/she needs to be most loved!

Quality time is essencial. Then I'd say "words of affirmation" and finally "physical touch" (lightly.. I mean, I feel raped when people play with my hair).

Gifts and acts of service are two I may like to do for others but I don't like others doing for me. I hate gifts and I don't like to feel an enslaver: I don't own my partner, so there's no reason why he should do things for me, not even buying coffee. I buy my own stuff and splitting the bill is mandatory. I'm quite a handful.

I really value quality time, but feel a bit awkward with praises. Physical touch is #2 in my list. :hug:

Words of Affirmation
You need words of praise, and often. You thrive most in a relationship where your partner tells you often how important you are to him/her and expresses love through verbal and written praise. To you it never gets old hearing, "I love you, you are beautiful, and so very strong." But other words of praise are needed to. When you do something special for your partner, you do best when he/she acknowledges your action with a thank you, and verbal acknowledgement of how special that was for him or her. Chances are highly likely that you give a lot of verbal praise to your partner (and loved ones), because this is how you feel most loved yourself.

Yup. I fall apart with stinging words.

Quality Time is #1, by a long shot. Followed by a tie between physical touch and gifts. Words of affirmation is last.

I think it's important to note that your top languages can be different based on the type of relationship. With platonic friends, touch is near the bottom and gifts are much higher.

Quality Time

You do best in a relationship when your partner spends quality time with you. We all know that feeling of getting comfortable in a relationship, and noticing the romance slipping away. For you, you feel most loved when your partner sets aside special time for you, and takes the initiative to plan something out of the ordinary. It's not to say you don't need verbal praise or physical affection in your relationship, you most certainly do! You just feel most cared for when your partner can turn that TV off and be truly present with you! Chances are likely that you plan things for you and your partner, like date nights, and trips, because you need the quality time with him/her. Now is your chance to let him/her in on the secret that you would like him/her to plan quality time for you both! Share this quiz so your partner can better understand how you need to be loved, and learn his/her unique love language too!

Personal ranking:

1. Quality time
2. Words of Affirmation
3. Physical Touch
4. Acts of Service
5. Gifts

As far as giving is concerned, I'm most comfortable/fluid/frequent with quality time, acts of service, and physical touch. It's a common complaint in the direction of INTPs for there to be insufficient "words of affirmation," and I'm one among those that could be accused. That is, while I can do it fairly well, it's very unlikely I'd want to or be able to get myself to do it as often as the other person would like/need. Gifts are just not something I actively think about (and I wouldn't be about doing it, unless the person I'm explicitly enjoys/needs it), and would be something that happens once in a long while when the urge and opportunity fall into place.

aren't physical touch, words of praise and selfless acts of service implicit in quality time?:D

Not at all. I consider a lively debate/discussion to be very good quality time, and it requires none of the above. Quality time just means that the two of you, whether intimate partners or friends, focus on each other to the almost complete exlusion of everything else.

This is my preferred love language by far, with acts of service next, followed by physical touch.

I know, I know! I agree 100%. :)
How do I say this!!! *covers face with her hands*

What I said would be understood by someone like myself who has a bit of a one-track mind! Maybe I should have included a wink at the end instead of a smile!;)

Quality Time

Setting aside special time to be with one another, and the occasional gift giving. Then more time together privately. Basically what is most valuable.
