How INFJs love and date
An INFJ is looking for a soul-level connection, and they can usually tell within a date or two whether it is there. They open up slowly, then all at once. In a relationship they are attentive and devoted, remembering what matters to you and caring about who you are becoming, not just who you are today.
On a first date: Warm but careful, asking the kind of questions that make you realize you have told them your life story.
Shows love through: understanding you better than you expected.
Texting style: thoughtful, well-worded and often longer than yours.
What they need from a partner: emotional honesty and depth; quiet time to recharge without guilt; a partner who shares their values.
Instant turn-offs
- Shallow small talk that never goes deeper
- Dishonesty, even small
- Being rushed into crowds and noise
