Love Language

<<<<<<< Ever noticed that people say this differently?

In a comment to my post "Don't Touch Me," Alana mentioned this theory called the "Love Languages." I thought the idea that we express, receive and interpret "love" was fascinating, but I didn't pursue it right away.

But then one of my other friends mentioned it, and I had to do some research XD I found a quiz on the Five Languages of Love and decided to see what it had to say.

You could score a total of 12 points for each category. According to the Love Languages Theory, here's what makes me feel loved:

Quality Time 9

Acts of Service 8

Words of Affirmation 6

Physical Touch 4

Receiving Gifts 3

"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."

Somewhat surprisingly accurate, I think. I was kind of glad to see that physical touch wasn't dead last. I don't want to feel like a cold person all the time XD

I never thought about people feeling loved by receiving gifts, which makes sense considering it's my lowest score. To me, the other four categories are the best gifts. {Well, the first three anyway. Hah.}

Thanks for enlightening me, Alana :) This was fun.
