I'm a straight INFP (or ISFP) I've tested to both but think I lean more towards INFP who has zero experience with the opposite sex. I'm nearing 26 years old and have never had a girlfriend my whole life.
I'm not that shy.....anymore, and I enjoy going out and meeting people. I feel my external circumstances (mainly the social environments I've been in lately) have shaped me to become a more mature INFP to where I'm not that insecure and will approach women and make the first move. The problem is I don't know how to flirt. It's driving me nuts. Every single girl I meet turns into a platonic friendship, no matter how romantically interested I am in her.
Despite INFP's tendency to have "feminine" qualities, I don't really seem to have much of them. Yes, I'm more of an artistic type and not too into cars and sports, but I'm a physically fit man (not too scrawny) with a fairly deep, masculine sounding voice who will be a man and make decisions first and fast in order to "lead" the girl as I should. I just don't have that natural ability to flirt and make them laugh.
I recently met a female INFP who I'm pretty much in love with (I'm attracted to other types too, not just concentrating on my own personality type). She's amazing. She's sweet, sensitive, shy, dreamy, VERY laid back, etc. She's so warm and friendly, probably the nicest girl I've ever met. We have everything in common. We have nearly identical hobbies and identical thinking patterns. She's traditional, and not the person who would sleep with any guy. She's beautiful too, and has a distinct sense of style. I'd imagine the latter probably gets a lot of guys approaching her. She's my dream girl. Absolutely perfect, and she doesn't have the slightest feelings for me.
It's funny because I'm one of her only close friends. I finally let her know about how I feel about her (I know, wrong move) and she freaked out a bit. Wish I could do something to attract her romantically.
Anyways, what's the best way for an INFP to attract the opposite sex? We're not those natural 'flirting' types. This is now becoming a major problem that must change. It's bad enough to be affecting other things in my life such as my career, probably because I'm getting depressed from being single for so long.....ha, like single my ENTIRE life.
