Natalia Buia probably would not date a man if he refused to at least entertain a conversation about love languages. “It’s not a deal breaker per se, but I have gotten into arguments with men on dates over it,” said Buia, who is 35 and lives in Toronto. “If someone thinks love languages are silly or stupid, it means that we don’t see eye-to-eye on communication.”
Buia only recently learned about the five love languages, after leaving a 10-year marriage and re-entering single life. Her friends turned her on to a quiz that purports to tell you how you best receive and express love. It is based on The 5 Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate. The book has sold 20m copies since being published by Gary Chapman in 1992.
