Words of affirmation. I work pretty hard and when someone recognizes me for who I am and what I bring, I feel so loved.

I understand that! Words of affirmation are so special.

Love and physical touch! I absolutely love showing affection by giving hugs, holding hands, etc. I think a lot of people see that as clingy but honestly it's a sweet gesture to show how much you love someone. ♥️♥️♥️

I can see that!

Touch, time, and words, in roughly that order. Acts of service are nice, but gifts tend to leave me lukewarm. (The touch thing is probably due to the Asperger's, though; whatever I think of and feel for a person, good or ill, is magnified 1000x by touch. I learned with my ex back in 2009, last time I was on a date, that this can be a Very Bad Thing.)

It's great that you know yourself so well.

Acts of service. Sometimes it’s difficult to have too many responsibilities. And I despise doing “manly” things like yard work,taking out the trash,etc.

Having someone to help means a lot.

Yes definitely. Even if it’s just something silly like switching out laundry. I feel supported!

I think I prefer quality time, but I honestly don’t know. They all sound great! If you fold my laundry, bring me a coffee, give me a hug, tell me I’m pretty, and sit down for chat I’m all yours!😉

Acts of service! When my at the time boyfriend drove over to scrape all the ice off my car at 5am in December, I knew he was a keeper
