Different ways of expressing affection

@diplomaticWest1394

Good evening to you!

As a Listener here on 7 Cups, I believe it's quite an interesting and reasonable topic to bring up. As a person who is sentimental and expressive, it's totally understandable to sense a lack of affection from someone, which is something you uphold as a standard (and rightfully so). We're all deserving of feeling wanted and loved by other people; it's important for us to show we care, not just tell.

Very clever of you to address this with the girl, regardless of the reaction you received for it. Confronting an issue with someone indicates maturity and candidness on your part.

Of course, it's also significant to note that her point about her version of "love language" being different to yours is quite valid. We all demonstrate love in different ways; yours is physical touch, hers is quality time. Both are completely plausible.

You are allowed to choose what's best for you and there should be no shame in focusing on your needs and standards. In case these aren't attended to for whatever reason, it's totally okay to dismiss the situation or individual. However, there's also the option to maintain things and see how things will progress. Whatever you decide to do from this point forward—whether it be to remain in the situation and see if it changes or just dismiss it completely—is totally up to you.

If you don't feel "complete" from the love language expressed to you and find that it isn't as compatible with yours, it's okay to point it out and deal with it accordingly.

Hope this helps you.🙏🏽
