What's Your Love Language?

Receiving gifts usually makes me uncomfortable.


Me too. It's just so awkward. I don't like giving gifts either because I worry that the person will think it was a stupid gift and every time they'll see it they'll think how stupid I am.

Give gifts with confidence. I give my friends crappy gifts as a joke all the time, and they think it's funny.

Confidence isn't really my thing.

Confidence isn't really my thing.

 

It isn't my thing either, but over the years I've learned that faking it is just as good.

9 Words of Affirmation

8 Quality Time

7 Physical Touch

3 Acts of Service

3 Receiving Gifts

 

...Though I think the top three can be interchangeable, depending on the person. I really love physical touch, AND quality time, AND words of affirmation. They all mean a lot to me, and I don't think there were enough questions to be able to show that they're all very much superior to the other two, for the most part. 

 

And, for the record, I knew exactly what you were talking about in the OP, FP.

My love language is coffee. 

Definitely coffee.

 

In the convent, the best way to make my day was to slip me a cup of strong, black coffee with one ice cube under my cell curtain 5-10 minutes after the morning bell. 

 

On a retreat back in February where I was having rather a difficult weekend, the Sister running the retreat actually sent a retreatant out to a nearby cafe to purchase for me a nice, sharp Ristretto to have with my breakfast. This Sister knows me well.

 

In my current employment, the suggestion that we have our meeting at the cafe down the road rather than in one of the meeting rooms is all that it takes to make my day. If you were REALLY concerned with ensuring that my mind was open to whatever piece of business you were proposing, you might also purchase a coffee for me at said cafe.

It's good to meet another person who wasn't raised under a rock.

 

It almost makes me feel bad for getting your number and intentionally not texting you for nine days.

 

Almost.

And, come to think of it, the situation and emotional state I'm in at the time.

Almost.

Your troll was by far the most unique of them all, and for that, I congratulate you. You have it now, though, and even though I'm an extreme introvert, I'd be happy to talk or text when you're feeling lonely. :)

Aw, thanks! I'll be sure only to annoy you in emergencies.

I don't mind gifts, but I like giving them more than I do receiving them.

 

I don't like being the center of attention, I don't like receiving gifts from just anyone, my whole point was about receiving gifts from my husband. I think that's different.

I do hear you tend to treat people you're in a relationship with differently. But I took the singles one, and I still got a 12 in physical affection. It's a source of great pride and accomplishment for me, really. My hugs don't discriminate.

Wow - read that wrong!  I read at first, "and I still got a 12 inch physical affection."  And I did a super face-palm, and then read it again.
