Quote: Anyway...he did pick me up, he was there on time, he carried my luggage (even though I tried to do it), he took me to get take-out Chinese food, etc. He offered to stop by and get donuts too if I'd like that (I chose not to). He gave me a back massage. He IS thoughtful. But it'd just be nice to get an occasional really romantic gesture. I may be needing to buy my own flowers, etc. occasionally - they do make me feel special.
I think the two of you ought to read Chapman's The Five Love Languages together. He obviously expresses in acts of service. You obviously prefer to receive in words of affirmation (I know you're talking about gifts, but they are all gifts that are WOA - things that aren't necessarily valuable, but that say loudly "I love you and value you" - so i think it's a WOA thing, not a gift thing.)
Do you know what his language to RECEIVE in is? And how you usually EXPRESS? Discuss the book with him - I bet it'll be an eye-opener.
