Languages of love- Quality Time

(I'm not sure if this belongs here? Move this if it doesn't)

For those of you who don't know what the languages of love are: gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, and physical touch.

So onto my topic about quality time.

Most of my exes have been the quality time type. Where they feel loved if you're just there for them.

That's great for them, but I'm a physical touch person, and while spending time together is great, I don't get out of it what they do.
They feel loved, and in turn, fulfilled.
But me, I need hugs, to hold their hands. It's not really about sex. I just like to be in contact with them..

Anyways, I think I'm trying to ask other people who interpret love with this quality time (or others with insight).

I must be greedy because I need all of them but the gifts... Monetary gestures of affection are a bonus, but are pretty shallow.

I think I am somewhat that way.

I still have that book. I feel I actually could find use of taking time to figure my language out. Thanks for the link, btw.

I'd suspect that quality time together could incorporate touch, cuddling, hand holding, all that.

Which baffles, why those two would not match together, lest there were other aspects to their personalities that didn't mesh?

I'm with Healingme4me on this one, in my experience quality time and touch go hand in hand, they're complimentary languages.

Unless you date people with an aversion to affection, but whom still enjoy your company?

Depends what the gifts are (eg. giving me rabbit-trimmed underpants and bra as a Christmas gift, for some bizarre reason - did not fit at all with my personality or anything - just remembering someone from the past, and this seemed like a tactless gift - glad he's gone).

touch and feel,look,listen,share....to me all that is must in loving relationship.They complement each other and let you feel and express what only one of them can't .Unfortunately it is rare to find someone ,who is able express and give through touch and gaze.......

for me, i need them all except the gifts, replace the gifts with sex & i'm a happy camper! i think physical touch and sex go hand in hand but that's JMHO
the best thing to do would be to find someone who lines up with you so you understand each other, cause if you want to touch and your partner is not into that, well......

I just wanted to re-thank you for this one. Was actually a fun little silly quiz, with a huge conversation. 11:11 Quality Time

I did this test with the person I am dating. There was some large variances for us on two languages. It was so good for us to see that. It of course was something we already kind of knew but, doing the quiz and seeing the dynamics of where we varied was a clear outline of how things stood.

I had two that tied at the top and then my third was receiving gifts. I absolutely love GIVING gifts, I do for no reason at all and it's not always something of monetary value. I am an avid gift giver. I place no high importance on the cost of something, I am not a person who will or wants others to spend a lot of money on anything actually. Little things, like a pack of socks, a bottle of electrolyte water after a rough night, a hand made card after a promotion etc. A large bouquet of roses is nice but honestly they don't excite me much, they die in a few days. But a pack of seeds from the hardware store to go in my garden that I'm always saying I want to start....Some left over wood from a project you were working on that you remember I commented the wood was lovely... that means something to me.
