Russian’s Love Languages + Tips to Keep Your Relationship Stronger
People have different love languages, which means it takes different things to tickle their hearts pink. Before we dive into all of them, know that some could have a single love language while others could have a combination of two or three. Nevertheless, your love expression(s) alone will undoubtedly warm your Russian date’s heart.
1. Gifts
Gifts are, by far, one of the most straightforward love languages. While many people find gift-giving romantic, it’s another (and beautiful) level in Russia.
Russians are intrinsically generous people. They have a bizarre and equally lovely impulse to give presents to anyone—regardless of their closeness to someone. This is why they see gift-giving as a national tradition of sorts.
Gift-giving for the Russians doesn’t have to be crazy expensive, but it must be meaningful. For them, the very act of giving a present is a display of the giver’s affection and care. They also suggest the person was thinking about them while looking at it.
Russians who value love languages like gifts recognize the gift-giving process: careful thinking, the conscious choice of picking a meaningful object, and the emotional advantages from receiving the gift. They also become a tangible token commemorating an experience, feeling, moment.
Nonetheless, when communicating your love via gifts, give a loved one something meaningful—something unique and reminiscent of their personality or a moment. Remember that cheap gifts don’t equate to their value. Small things, in fact, matter in significant ways.
2. Acts of Services
Russians love to help people—in any way they can. They’re warm on the inside once you break down their ice-cold walls. And, when you do, you’ll see a whole new thing about them: they are hospitable and welcoming to everyone they’re close with.
For your Russian date whose love language is through acts of service, they may like baking cakes or cookies for their partner. They also express their love by making a coffee for their partner or bringing soup when they are sick. They’ll also love it when you offer to help them with anything, call and check in on them during a stressful day at work or do things they’ve been putting off for a long time.
3. Words of affirmation
They say actions speak louder than words. But it’s a different case when your Russian partner’s love language is “words of affirmation.” In this case, words are everything.
Whatever the medium (written or oral) is, a date who uses words of affirmation as one of their love languages will sincerely appreciate your lovely compliments for them. These expressions make them feel valued and understood on a deeper level.
Your Russian partner will significantly adore thoughtful praises, verbal encouragement, and genuine thank-you’s. That is, whether you say them on date nights, write them on post-it notes or post them on social media.
Hence, make it a point to frequently express your appreciation, care, and love to your partner. You could always put a random post-it note on your date’s cup or send texts with cute emojis. Read More…
