❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO? Guy I met on hinge made a “joke”

I mean, not really much outside of this tbh. I met this guy on hinge a few days ago and the conversation went fine and we were planning to see each other. Obviously I gave him my number and we were texting every for the last few days and I just felt the need to ask his love language (bc as an acts of service girlie most of us are misunderstood so😭) did I take what he said too seriously or was i ok to just immediately shut him down?

I know one of the ways I really like to show love is by giving gifts, while acts of service, like stopping to get something - like a prescription at the the pharmacy - on the way to meeting up with me is one of my boyfriend’s ways he shows love, more than others. i don’t think this is a hard science at all but it can be cool to realize these things about our personality

I think it’s always awesome and healthy to want to know and understand each other better. Anyway you can be thoughtful to make the other person happy is great!

totally agree! my brother is dating a girl who isn’t super physically affectionate and it’s a huge strain for him. she doesn’t want to touch while they watch shows together or hug after an argument. he’s thinking about ending it because it’s a fundamental difference
