For me it was a tie between quality time and acts of service.

So for QUALITY TIME/Physical Touch folks: what does this mean? Does it mean that we can be in the same room but in separate corners and that counts as quality time? Or do we have to be "together" to have it count as quality time?
He likes to watch tv together....like sitting together, arm around my shoulder, kisses in between commercials type together. Don't get me wrong: I like that too....just not all the darn time! erplexed We go to a restaurant, he wants to sit right beside me in a booth or at an angle so that he can rub my leg or touch my arm. I just want to order, kick back, eat and leave.
Quality Time is my primary and Physical Touch is my secondary love language. I don't have a SO but Quality Time applies to all relationships that are important to me. I need to spend time with people who matter otherwise I'll feel disconnected and insecure about the relationship. Quality Time for me means we're in the same room doing something together, whether it's talking, playing a board game or watching a movie together. The key thing is together and we interact so doing our own things in different corners wouldn't count. However I'm an introvert and love my alone time so I don't need to spend all day with my loved ones. It just means we carve out some time each week to just be with each other, no interruptions. That's all.
Physical Touch only applies to my family (and my SO when I get one.) I love hugs so that's all I really need to feel connected. I imagine I'll want more though when I get a SO.
My husband and I were never the type to be joined at the hip (I don't remember what I scored for quality time, but I scored MUCH higher on physical touch), but I'm very tactile with my displays of affection. All in all, I like touching my husband and doing so makes me feel warm and fuzzy (I also like when he does the same for me). So, while my husband and I might hang out in different corners of the house, when he comes upstairs, I will most certainly run into the kitchen and invade his personal space (out of love ).I just did this test today! I also told him to do it too. NOT surprised that he is a quality time/physical touch type person. My "physical touch" came out to be "1" - I scored a "10" on acts of service. He was not surprised either.
