These people are walking clichés. Very little depth or uniqueness, which might explain at least one of the reasons some of us are single. We're seeking greater depth, and greater depth is rarely available and mutually interested.

I heard that...unfortunately.

Pretty much the story of my life...

I dont think jokes were part of the 5 love languages but maybe it could be part of another series. you know how Stephen Coveys books were about the 7 habits of highly effective people and then he came out later with an 8th habit.

BTW I dont remember all the habits except for one that inexplicably said to 'sharpen the saw'. So you can cut peoples heads off or what? I dunno.

I've encountered soooo much lameness on those sites. After a while, the profiles sound the same... Interests included dancing, fine dining, quiet evenings at home... living life to the fullest.. What exactly does that mean anyway?!? What are you doing... climbing Mount Everest and jumping off the peak in a parasail, landing into a jungle safari?

Greater depth and mutual interests are a must for sure.

Not all of us are "Hopeless Romantics" but I firmly believe that everyone has some romantic force within them that can appeal to someone(s) at one point in time or another. Being romantic comes naturally to some, while others have to work at it or discover it. So against the backdrop of Gary Chapman's "The 5 Love Languages", lets get in touch with our romantic side and explore the special things that we might do for that special someone that says 'I care'. Hopefully, this will help reveal a thing or two about our softer sides, as we get to know each other a bit more.

For the benefit of anyone who might not be familiar with the 5 love languages that he (Gary Chapman) stated, they are:
  • Words of Affirmation (e.g. kind words and encouragement, uplifting quotes, love notes, poems and cute text messages)
  • Quality Time (e.g. putting down the cell phone, turning off the computer, making eye contact, and actively listening.
  • Physical Touch ( e.g. holding their hands, touches their arm, giving massages, cuddling)
  • Acts of Service (e.g. helping with the dishes, running errands, vacuuming, putting gas in the car, shopping)
  • Receiving Gifts ( gift-giving indicates love and affection. The gift may not necessarily be expensive items but it's the time and effort the gift-giver put into it).

*Please Note: There are no specific rules or limits to how many of these may be used as reference for any romantic moments you may choose to share.

Physical touch is the foremost love language for me. Here's one of the favorite things I do to make my partner feel loved and special. Once in a while when we go for a romantic dinner, I would excuse myself to the 'ladies' and upon my return I will walk up behind his chair and then slowly and gently tilt his head backwards and give him a light peck on the lips that I let linger for a good few seconds, followed by a warm and reassuring smile before I take my seat back.

Hoping for some interesting recounts of romantic gestures, so please join in for a bit of a light-hearted encounter.

I know this is a singles forum and that I am married , but seeing this subject gave me a bit of a chuckle, so I had to see what was the idea. I disagree with the live languages concept and I disagree that one must be romantic as we know it. After being successfully married for 27 years. Everyone likes all 5 of those things listed and everyone feels loved when those things are done. Live is investment into the wellbeing of someone else. The more heavily invested the more you love them.

I heard this phrase that is repeated often in education...

'People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care'

quote from Theodore Roosevelt, apparently a much loved US President
