“What is this ‘Love Language?” I asked.
I was having my third alcoholic drink and felt confident to finally ask.
Sometimes it’s this liquid courage I need.
The girl I asked, took her phone and showed me something.
I looked, all was blurry.
It was because of the drinks.
I focused on her words instead.
“You have five types of love language”, she said.
She showed me her phone again.
I didn’t even try to look this time.
Her voice was loud, I could hear her clearly.
“What are they?” I asked.
“Words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch”.
She said it with so much confidence, I believed her straight away.
The alcohol in my drink didn’t allow me to think more than this.
A blessing and a curse.
“Ok”, I said.
The alcohol slowed down my ability to process, giving me some time to think.
“What are your love languages?” I asked her.
She started talking and naming a few.
Her explanation helped me to process what for her the 5 types of languages meant.
‘Interesting’, I thought.
When it comes to dating, where does this love language come together?
Where in dating, should you know about love language?
If at all, are these really the languages you need to know and are those the only ones you can speak?
Or is it an explanation of a better understanding of yourself?
Where you can make a change in the love language you speak?
For a better relationship?
