Having had a relationship of sorts with a 5, my advice to 5's would be to reassure your partner frequently that you are still there. I found the detachment of 5's was really like getting a scrambled message that made me feel like I was dealing with 2 different people. Just try to engage more - the words and actions will take care of themselves. Fives have a lot going for them - be generous with your time and resources, listen to and acknowledge your partner's interests and needs and be willing to be listened to and acknowledged in return, learn the art of diplomacy and don't partition off your partner to one part of your mind to be recalled at your pleasure and 5's would be perfect. This is more important than "expressing" love by words and gifts (although these are important parts of the whole).
