As with other rare types, dating is likely a difficult or at least unique encounter. One description even said that INFPs may have the hardest time with dating/mating. Which leads me to wonder: do you or have you in the past found it difficult to date? I know I have.
If so, what are some of the reasons why?
If not, what are some of the reasons why? Do have any advice for other INFPs?
Yep I sure do, my first problem is that i'm like hot and cold running water. Either I am really into the person and feel an attachment or I am not. I really don't have a middle of the road temp where things are just ok.
Alot of women don't seem to understand that i'm looking for something more. Im really into the whole soul mate thing. I have been through enough relationships and dating experiences to know what I want. Its not just about how she looks, but more so whats going on inside. (I will/have been in serious relationships with big girls just because they were so damn cool personality wise, if you are having problems with one type it may be time to look at other options).
The next big problem is the alone time, I did not know about the whole introverted thing. "X" woman would tell me "You seem so distant" I didn't know how to properly explain that I need downtime. In the next relationship I swear i'm going to give the woman a stack of books and say "I come with an operators manual, please read these books and if you are still interested let me know" I totally know that my personality type isn't what most Americans deem as "normal" so I guess I should do the explaining about this type of thing in the beginning, so the woman will understand before we start getting serious.
I'm better at showing my emotions instead of saying them. I say things to show what i'm feeling in a relationship just not enough I guess. LOL ok........ I am secure enough in my masculinity to say this........ I spend time doing the cutesy displays of affection for my significant other, cuddling all that good stuff. It never seems to be good enough, women always want to want the words........I say things when i'm really feeling it otherwise it doesn't mean much it just words or at least thats how I see it.
Well thats pretty much it, i'm certain there is more, its not easy being green or INFP rather
