Love language - how do you prefer your SO to express affection?

[Fitness-Fanatic]

If you are/were in a relationship , how do you prefer your SO to express their affection for you?

Which is priority to you?

Words of affirmation
Saying nice things to you. This could be paying compliments, encouraging words , or just affirmations of how they feel about you

Physical touch.
This could be walking along holding hands, giving hugs, kisses, receiving a massage. Sensual gestures to make you feel physically closer together.

Spending quality time together.
This could be putting aside a whole evening to spend in each other’s company so you can really reconnect. Taking trips together

Giving gifts.
Physical items, token gifts intended to please you , and show they've been thinking about you

Carrying out kind acts
Little (or big!) gestures to make you happy. Assisting or offering to help you in someway

Words, physical, and time. Words if they are genuine and spontaneous can mean more than anything, and I'm a thinker so I love sharing thoughts, ideas, talking about everything in the universe (literally lol). Some words have the power to echo for a very long time, and often are underestimated.

Physical because touch is powerful even without words. Even words fall short sometimes, and physical touch is primal. It can touch you on a soul level without words. It can give reassurance, love, enjoyment, and touch can encompass every single emotion we have.

Time, because it is our most valuable currency. Giving someone your time is an investment in them. Plus you have to be giving time in order to share words and touch. Time means you want a connection with them, and are willing to tell the rest of the world that is clamoring for your attention, to wait. It means they are a priority above other things that pull at your attention.

I did one of those online quizzes to find out what my love language is just yesterday and apparently, it's 'quality time'. I always thought it would probably be 'words of affirmation' but the more I read about quality time, the more spot-on it sounds:

Quality time is giving someone your undivided attention. I don’t mean sitting on the couch watching television. I mean sitting on the couch with the TV off, looking at each other and talking, and giving each other your undivided attention. For some people, quality time is their primary love language, and if you don’t give them quality time, they will not feel loved.

Acts of service... so important to me. I was raised to think of doing favors for another person and helping them when it doesn't benefit you at all to be a strong indication of how someone values you.

We do all these things. But to be honest, we mostly play fight and tease each other through affection. We tickle, we play fight, do silly voices when we "fight".

Physical Touch/Quality Time (how can you have one without the other?)

I don't need gifts (I appreciate them, but not in "that" way), I don't need to be told when I do something well (I'm my biggest fan and harshest critic), and while I appreciate acts of service, I can do most things for myself.

Being physically close with my girl is far more profound than anything else for me.

physical touch and quality time are my prefered ones :) the rest i don´t really care for... i mean words of affirmation can be ok but it´s mostly meaningless to me most of the time, cause talk is cheap.

Time and gifts are how I express and feel loved. Time is a valuable commodity and so is the money that you put into gifts. I don't care about the gift itself just that someone is willing to give up their hard earned money makes me feel cared for.

My primary love language is words of affirmation. I'm always afraid of being prideful, and of showing off. So it makes me really happy when people go out of their way to compiment me :)

[EpicDweeb]

I sense no one will compliment me on my spelling xD Compliment*

[vishna]

I like nice words, so, words of affirmation, I'm very much a communication person.
