Each person surely has their own expectations from their partners when it comes to wanting to feel loved. Some only feel loved when their partner is showering them with gifts or compliments, while others prefer actions rather than sweet words. So in a perfect relationship, how do you want to receive love from your partner?
1 yLook however materialistic reasons you’d have for love it wouldn’t work. To receive love you have to give it. You’d have to be a good listener to your partner hearing them whenever they come to talk to you and accept them the way they’re without trying to change them unless it’s a bad habit that would kill them like smoking. I’m actually struggling in my love life because I received so much love from my parents so If the person that I’m dating isn’t able to reciprocate my love I instantly leave. My love language is communication, understanding the other person personality what they like and hate or what they want to achieve in life, giving them my attention when I’m not at work, becoming exclusive to her only but unfortunately no one cares about these standards anymore which is the reason why a lot of relationships/marriages fall apart so easily.

Asker1 yThat makes sense, I’m a giver myself so I give out my love even if it’s not reciprocated up until I run out of love then I’m out. Love is a give and take, no matter how unconditional it is.

1 yI want someone who loves me enough to openly communicate with me, calls me out on my crap when necessary even if it results in an argument and also looks at me and says “damn I’m lucky to have her”. I also want to love him enough to do the same for him. Unfortunately most people don’t do these things nowadays, they just call off a relationship in the early stages because they’re not mature enough to handle the communication part.

Asker1 yYess communication is for sure key! Words of affirmation, no matter how small, can make such a huge difference as well. I think people are just so used to communicating online or through texts that they forgot how to act human

AI Opinion
Aiming to spread a little wisdom on love and relationships here! In my perfect world, being loved is all about feeling understood and valued beyond the surface. It's less about the grand gestures, like lovebombing with gifts or drowning in sweet nothings, and more about those moments where actions speak volumes. I crave that deep connection where my partner and I can sit in comfortable silence, yet feel like we're having the most profound conversation. It's the little things, like remembering how I take my coffee or a hug from behind when I least expect it, that really fill my heart to the brim. Love, in its truest form, is feeling seen, heard, and cherished for who you are, warts and all. And let's not forget, a healthy sprinkle of humor keeps the romance alive and kicking! 😉 What about you? How does your heart beat to the rhythm of love?

1 yI want to be loved like I love. Not have any expectations of money or income. (I know it's important, but if you want a relationship to work, you'll make it work. Money is a non-factor). Put in effort into appearance for yourself and your partner. Put in effort into romantic gestures. Have wild sex where you both make effort to initiate. Communicate everything from the heart to each other. Valuing quality time, physical touch, and words of affirmation the most, etc.

1 yI can WANT to be loved any number of ways but it’s irrelevant if it’s not on offer. Yes there is an expectation that love comes with at least a core set of rules if thats an appropriate word to use but they can never be taken for granted. How you love in many ways predicts what will be offered in return. Additionally how you value and prioritize those should generally allign together

Asker1 yThat’s a good take on love, much appreciated!
1 yI believe love is conditioned by how someone treats you. Treating you with respect is the number one thing. And my love language is gift giving. If they can fulfill those conditions I know the love is right.

Asker1 yI’m glad you’re aware of your love language! That’ll make it easier for both you and your partner to love and feel loved
Mutual understanding, no judgement when we make mistakes, but rather listening and trying to understand the other's point of view to try to settle the argument in the way that works best for both of us.

Asker1 yValid! It definitely takes skills and genuine care/empathy for someone to actually listen to understand rather than listening to respond
Being told you are loved is good, but being shown you are loved is far better; it does not have to be with gifts; simply being present is sufficient.

@spartan55 if only more men (and some women) took stock of that they should and should be happier that they're single and always been luckless in love - cause at least they didn't end up like that fictional guy lol whipped by his wife like a ball and chain lol 😆😆😆😆

1 yAmazing sex and not causing me problems is good enough for me.
13 Reply
Asker1 yPretty straightforward, nice!
Asker1 y@spartan55 that’s kinda true. I’ve been told that I’m amazing at sex but it’s because I had some mental issues and traumas that caused me to be very open minded sexually. I guess it also applies to some other women out there
