"The language of love... Has left me broken on the rocks"
damn those lemmings! (their accuracy seems to be improving...)
seriously, though... i appreciated the process of deliberation, and the results of this brief quiz seem to elucidate some of my priorities.
for instance, i seem to actually be adverse to physical touch, unless i feel relaxed, comfortable, & safe (there does seem to be an exception to this: if my partner & i make some kind of agreement to take a risk together, pushing my boundaries can be fun!)
and the thing that i crave most in my realtionships is exploring creative acts together ("service" to the community?).
i also appreciate intellectual stimulation, so spirited discussions are essential in my relationships; and i have become increasingly aware that affirmation/recognition of other's beliefs is crucial to development of mutual respect, whether or not i agree with them.
traditionally, i have been extremely extroverted in relationships... always doing things in large groups. but lately, i have been increasingly enjoying private, intimate encounters.
i do like giving & receiving gifts, but i do not obligate, require, or in any way expect my partners to indulge in any specific gift giving behaviours. however, it seems to me that relationships benefit from a willingness to give gifts without expectation of return.

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.
