What kind of people are you usually attracted to and how do you deal with it?
I'm attracted to private and quiet girls. The more there is to analyze the better. Essentially, I fall hard for girls who peak my curiosity. If you have an independent mind and are a little rebellious that is even better.
I've only had two crushes so far (I don't count the first since it was limited to physical attraction and delusions). I dealt with them very poorly. Externally I shut down while internally chaos reigns. I'm better than I once was though and now I can actually communicate. When not around the person, I spend way too much time thinking about them (analyzing behavior, going over every word that they uttered, etc).
Is it the appearance or the personality that does it for an INTP?
I have never initially been attracted to any of my crushes. The physical attraction always came after the non-physical. That being said, I don't think I would develop a crush for a ugly girl (sorry).I should add that "flashy" outfits and visible makeup are actually turn off's.
Do first impressions count?
Not unless that first impression was sufficiently painful to make me avoid the person in the future.
Are you the first to make a move or not and how do you act around the particular person? Do you withdraw even more or feel more open with him/her?
I don't make moves. Not yet anyway. I currently have a crush on a girl and I hope to see her again when the fall semester starts. I've been wanting to make a move for a long time. Of course, while I am generally quite self-confident making such moves is something I am highly uncomfortable with.
Around them I initially act reserved but depending on their responses I can quickly warm up and be perfectly normal (my normal anyway).
--> I am curious, have any other INTP's eventually come to hate the people they had a crush on. It takes a long time to develop but I've found that I have come to hate my past crushes. They become enemies in my mind because they caused me to feel emotions I am not used to (which ultimately led to nothing).
