When I heard there were only five ‘official’ love languages, I was greatly confused. What do you mean only five? And four of them should be common practice, no?

Maybe I see love differently but five just won’t do it.

Allow me to propose (hehe) five more love languages:

1. Eye Contact

There’s a reason why the poets have written at great length on the beauty of them and why atheists have converted to faith at their complexity. The eyes just have something about them.

But I am also not just referring to the usual eye contact you may maintain in conversation or hold for a second. No, I am talking about the times when something is said or happens and then you and another share a look with each other. There really should be a word for this. There probably is. Well, I just checked and there isn’t- closest to this seems to be a conspiratorial look but that sounds more sneaky, I’m just saying in general.

Anyway, this ‘look’ is a type of language in itself because so much is said through it and you wished to share it with each other.
