The 5 Love Languages was quite a famous topic back then and I had a discussion with my friend about this topic recently. Just in case, these 5 love languages consist of Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Act of Service and Physical Touch.
If you're uncertain about your love language, you can take an online test [here]. Knowing your primary love language can help you communicate effectively in order to feel loved.
Below content copied from OkCupid:
You crave togetherness. You want a person's undivided attention - a true connection with someone. Dialects of the language of Quality Time are Quality Conversation, Quality Listening, and Quality Activities. You can enjoy just one or multiple dialects.
Words of Affirmation:
Everyone should learn to be proficient in this language of love. Word of encouragement, words of praise, kind words will make you feel best if that's your primary love language.
Gifts:
The important thing is not the gift, but the love that is communicated. Learn the person's interests. It shows that you listen, pay attention, and took the Quality Time to get something thoughtful. :)
It is the thought and intent behind the acts of service that counts, which means do it our of love but not duty. Acts of service is not slavery. Love refuses to be manipulated. There is no such thing as "if you love me, you would..."
If this is your primary language, then a hand on the shoulder or a pat on the back speaks louder than words. Physical touch can be appreciated by anyone, but to those fluent in the language of physical touch, it shouts! Of course, it's not just ANY physical touch that communicates love.
