Gary Dimiti Chapman, an American writer famous for the series “Five Languages of Love”, according to him, there are five basic methods that a person expresses love, and if you like, say five levels, in short: words of encouragement, dedication of time, exchange of gifts, service works, and finally physical contact, for example if one of them introduces the red roses a gift, then it indicates the romantic love, and so on. The topic is simple, but this is on the days of Chapman, not on the days of the new digital generation.
The screen of your phone today has become the main emotions square, and the language of love has changed and replaced by a new language that fits and the new digital reality, yet the number of methods or levels remained five, but it differs from its predecessor, first love relationships need an electric charger to keep you in contact, the lovers no longer look at the stars at night, but they look at their phones day and night, and there is no need to read hair collections to use part of it with the beloved The need today has become to the emoji and its various types. And the admiration there, and this indicates the commitment, then admiration for the wholesale, which is to choose twenty publications, and put your admiration for all of them, while the second level in this language is the response to the stories or the custody, and this equals the perpetuation of time in the previous language, such as if the two meet in a restaurant or a cafe previously, the response means an invitation to open a dialogue away from the general comments in front of the audience of friends, but if the response is an explicit declaration It is held accountable for emoji, then the third level comes to us, which is public participation, which came as an alternative to the exchange of gifts, so it is sufficient now that one of them re -publish the publication of someone who loves or shares it with others, as if he says to others, look at this wonderful, then comes after that level and is the devoted “M.” industry, and the m and a video is a picture or a video on which something is written, and the writing changes according to the situation to express the feelings, and it is for it. A ready -made mim is made by himself, and this is the alternative to service works previously, and the last stay in the chat, and this is equivalent to physical contact in the old language, which is a silent feeling of companionship and its warmth, while the digital hug is when a sign appears: “He writes now ..”.
The old generation may feel that this is a complexity in the relationship, or the opposite may feel, and it sees that this is simple to excite the irony, but this reality that we must get to know, so review your accounts on social media platforms, as there may be what awaits you.
