What language of love do you speak? (172)
Ambrose2007: Hmmm...you're missing "quality time," Monte.
Quality time sucks...kidding Judging from my other scores it was probably middle of the road. Actually quality time is important but not as important to me as does he give me his undivided attention when we talk.The test, I believe, was centered on material things vs. physical and emotional traits. As you can see, I don't care about gifts. Gifts are tangible and are easily bought. Time and attention from him are things he has to give from himself.
Nice to see ya....

Yeah, it's funny. To me, almost everything is more important than gift-giving - and I certainly share your viewpoint there, Monte.
Still...I have learned to love receiving gifts...being taught by an absolute master of that.
What we give others is what we desire the most, according to the book (which now resides in my hot little hands). By giving me gifts (the aforementioned "master") she was communicating to me how much she values them. But I can a little hard of hearing at times on such matters.
Now I get it, and am acting accordingly (while mourning by soon-to-be compromised budget!)

Ambrose2007: Jeez, now you got me doing it!
Of course, my Love Language is flexible due to circumstances. When in a LDR, my priorities change. That's when the physical touch is much less vital than the Words of Affirmation.
As for words of affirmation, I'm exceptionally good at doing that. I believe in telling people how I feel about them, and I have the eloquence, courage, and ability to fully express myself emotionally to do that.
Just my luck last time I did that the guy couldn't handle it.

And of course my world-famous stiletto boots! (But I'm probably pushing you to the very brink of lustful insanity, VE, so I'd better stop!
)And for the record, in my mind I'm still in a relationship and very much in love. The key point being "in my mind." At this point it's fortunate that I have a very active imagination!

That was kind of the idea, Monte. Not sure about the white stuff on my head and around my hand...could be bling or maybe some form of aberrant halo?

Well, try buying your own damn birthday gifts for the last 10 years because he had no clue (and didn't want to know) about what to get me.
I believe in giving gifts to celebrate the big things, like birthdays and anniversaries. And that gift should clearly show that you care about and know that person well enough to get them just the right thing. It doesn't have to be expensive either. It could be quality time together at a little bed and breakfast in the neighboring EU country for example...

Well professor, I rarely disagree with you but this time I have to (in bold). I am a gift giver. I get such a high about giving more then about receiving. When I was younger, getting a gift from a b/f was exciting but that doesn't impress me anymore. I would like a gift but I don't want him to think he has to buy my love. I either love him or I don't. I don't understand how someone can put so much value on a material object rather then on devotion and loyalty.
Am I reading correctly that you guys are back together. Your last sentence makes me think that. Or, are you in preparation of the next lady..

Hmmm...maybe he was a "Acts of Service" guy who would've responded to your cleaning his pipes or painting his house or something??
God, it's funny to think of people with different love-communication styles talking past each other like Laurel and Hardy or Abbort and Costello or something.
Funny in a rather tragic way, of course...

Well, that was a generality, of course. Some people are just saints and love to give without receiving, I imagine, but I suspect that's fairly rare. Anyway, that's the author of the book's viewpoint. I think I basically agree with him, but the jury's still out. I do see some issues with his classification scheme, but...time will tell, as they say.
Ah, no. Not yet. And there's no preparation for any other lady except the one who (brutally!) stole me poor hapless heart!

I'm not saying I'm a saint. I'm just saying that getting gifts isn't as important to me as it was 30 years ago. People change their needs as they get older. Giving and not receiving all the time makes the receiver feel bad that their gift isn't accepted. If someone always wanted to give me a gift but never received mine, I'd be annoyed. So I understand what you are saying.
Here, for you...

Well, the author doesn't acknowledge that kind of flexibility - nor does he speak of learning to speak and enjoy other languages - of being able to even change one's preferred language to a degree, and this is where I think one area where one could make some just criticisms of his thesis, I think.
