Love Languages
There is framework of love languages that goes something like this.
People give and receive love in one of five ways (I trust they're self explanatory).
1. Quality time / Communication
2. Positive Affirmation
3. Touch / Physical Affection
4. Acts of Service
5. Gifts
For me, acts of service and communication/quality time are what I deem as expressions of love. In terms of how I express love, I go the extra mile with touch, positive affirmation, and gifts.

NoMissOrdinary: I love this book! Im a weird one though - I give different to how I want to receive.
I'm the same babe. I give differently to how I receive.
nothing weird about that nomiss ordinary... that's prob why relationships can be so frustrating and complicated.. :)
when ppl don't speak the same "language" to each other, it can get frustrating, cos you think you're showing love to another person, but that person isn't reading it as love... hence miscommunication and frustration... :)
so point is to learn and understand how others "talk" and learn to speak their "language".. :)
but that's also the beauty of relationships, cos when you can speak each others language, that's when you have a relationship worth cherishing and holding on to... but it really takes effort and committment to learn to speak another love language, and to learn to understand someone else's love language as well!!!
