What did/does your SO do to make you feel that she cared and loved you?
Do you prefer occasional kisses on the cheek? Would that make you feel affectionate? Or how about a hug from behind?
For many women (that I know) and me, it is the small stuff that makes us feel loved, the kiss on the cheek/forehead/should/arm, the cuddling, the holding, the hugs. These do not lead to any xxx, but it is affectionate
Part body language, part words and part deeds; all three need to be evident. There are times where my wife will just wrap her arms around me and hold me tightly in a way that just sort of tells me all I need to know and sometimes it's just a playful touch for no particular reason. There are times where, unsolicited and completely out of context, she'll lean over and whisper "I love you". And lastly, there are times where she's done something for me, perhaps run an errand or prepared a certain meal that I like and I know what it really means.
But conversely, when those things are absent it's also a clear sign that something's amiss and it's best to proceed with extreme caution.
For me it is a collection of little things. Sometimes it can be touch, sometimes verbal, and other times stuff she does for me like getting me a lunch ready for the next work day or folding laundry. Also, she supports my endeavors and interests, and that's huge to me.
Not every moment feels like a first date. That's reality. More and more I am appreciating the little things because I am recognizing them as her way of showing her love for me. The big moments refresh and recharge us from time to time, but it's the little moments that really keep us moving forward together.
I think when an SO offers an act, gesture, dialogue, gift, whatever, that envokes a particular personal meaning, is a good place to start. And it's something that is done with no intention of reciprocation. These habits I strongly feel should go both ways. It should be an effortless extension of you and making your "whole" happy.
Personally, the times I have felt most loved, is when I was enjoying "her" reaction, as I was doing something for "her", that showed how much I loved, "them". It's weird, I know.
My love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation, and next is quality time. My beau's is physical touch, quality time and words of affirmation.
Intimacy, whether is physical, mental or emotional, that is the basis for sustaining and nurturing a connection. That's how he and I see it. We both recognize there's much to cherish in those little moments. Even in these moments, without grand gestures and declarations of love, there's a certain level of closeness and intimacy present. That is magic.
Yes, I would also like to know what this means, but have never had it explained to me.
Like dishes and laundry and such.
I believe.
