Lots of things can play into this. First off, you could have misinterpreted, what you think is flirting may not have been her idea of flirting. One thing I've noticed as an INFJ is that we interpret things a LOT differently than most people which can lead to the most frustrating communication...
I say if it works, go for it, and it can go both ways. I had a male friend who dated a women 20 years his senior and it was the best relationship he ever had; she was stable and had her life figured out which is exactly what he needed. Unfortunately they broke up because he wants to be able to...
For me it has always been not a preference due to attraction but just convenience. I have dated a guy that was a head shorter than me, and I have dated a guy who was a head taller. In both instances it was just difficult to deal with the little things. With the taller guy I would get neck...
Something I find very disturbing is that no matter how sound or logical an argument is, some people will never be convinced. There's something about that thought that chills me to the core. The naive part of me always thought that human beings were at heart reasonable creatures. The rest of...
I have been told this as well as being told I'm very practical. Logical and practical seem to be tied together often.
Two things I have noticed is: I'm really good at logic because I can see the big picture and make connections. Something that INFJ's are good at. The other thing is that I...
Generalizations are silly. I'd have to say that most women of most cultures get on my nerves one way or another. I simply just can't relate to others my own gender, no matter what their cultural background.
Personally I would say dating for about one and a half years at least, then being engaged for at least six months. But that's a generalization based on my experience; I've been able to figure out how compatible I am with a person on all the important levels by that time. It usually seems to...
I have a very strong N preference, but for me that just means that I can wander around completely unaware of my surroundings sometimes if I'm lost in thought or something like that. However when I consciously tune in my senses, they are very sharp. Whenever there's a good thunderstorm I love...
This seems to be a pretty apt explanation. After all, I've unconsciously pushed away potential love interests before because of the same reasoning. I guess the logic is; if you don't let anything in it can't hurt you. Of course things sneak in anyway (my tricksy boyfriend for example).
It's...
I've realized from a recent experience that I take everything very personally. For example, I joined a writing forum and apparently didn't read the critiquing guide well enough because my critiques were rejected and the post of my own writing deleted. After checking the rules more closely...
Ok, so I can remember very clearly being 17 as I'm in my early 20s so I understand where you're coming from. I was about as shy and as quiet as they come, and I had a HUUUUUGE rejection complex already built up into my head so it seemed like I was never going to get up the nerve to start...
I'm currently dating an INTJ and I've found that I baffle him on a regular basis, mostly because of my bluntness about things "Wow, I can't beleive you just went ahead and said that!" and my openness with my emotions. However he's come to really appreciate that about me, and it's fostered a...
