What Makes Us Feel Truly Loved? Insights from 5,000+ Quiz Takers

Love is a universal language, but the way we feel most cherished can look different for everyone. Recently, over 5,000 people took part in Flamme’s 16 Relationship Personality Quiz, answering the thought-provoking question: "Which scenario would make you feel the most loved?" The results reveal some eye-opening truths about what really makes our hearts flutter.

A remarkable 44% of respondents said that being greeted with a long, affectionate hug as soon as they come home would make them feel the most loved. This overwhelming preference for physical closeness and warmth suggests that simple gestures—like an embrace at the door—speak volumes. In a world where we’re often distracted by technology and busy schedules, it’s the moments of genuine connection that many of us crave.

On the other hand, only 4% chose receiving concert tickets to see their favorite artist, showing that grand gestures or material gifts aren't as universally valued as we might think. Emotional words—hearing “I love you and appreciate everything you do”—ranked higher at 11%, but still lagged behind the power of physical touch and presence.

Interestingly, 15% felt most loved when coming home to a clean house and a cooked meal, highlighting the importance of acts of service. Meanwhile, a significant 26% preferred spending a quiet evening together, talking and playing games. Quality time, it seems, stands strong as a foundational pillar of love.

What do these numbers tell us? That love isn’t about flashy surprises or extravagant presents - it’s about closeness, thoughtfulness, and making time for each other. Whether it’s a heartfelt welcome, a shared laugh over a game, or a simple act of kindness, the little things matter most.
