Here I’m, can you see me? – stop what you are doing and listen or talk to me/him with your full attention (no mobiles, emails, side-talks)

Common complains – my boss (parent, friend, boy-friend) does not listen to me, he she does not dedicate time to me.

These are those for whom getting some sort of a gift is very relevant: flowers, letter, candy, jewel…

They like to buy and spend…a lot!

Physical

These people like and need physical contact, on a good way.

At times they are touchy but not for the wrong reasons, it’s just what they need. They are also known as kinesthetic. They learn a lot with objects.
