intp tip for dating - put yourself out there and hope someone adopts you.

[This_Is_Just_To_Say]

Have an INTP friend, but rather than correcting people, I think her love language is sending memes and research.

“if they’re investing the time to correct you, it’s actually a sign that they care”

THIS!! i wish more people understood that lol

"INTPs are not robots. They are... reluctant humans."
Nailed it!

My best friend is INTP and it's so funny when I tell him I get pizza and he can just stay where he is. His face becomes the happiest in the world, like a little child! "Oh someone cares about me, no need for movement... :) "

You don't find a relationship, you find a romantic interest, a relationship is something that you build.

'Not a robot, just a reluctant human' is the best, most concise description of me I've ever heard, for so many reasons. Thank you for this! Also, I've very happy alone, but still clicked here immediately lol

I am an INTP in relationship with an ISTJ. He thinks he is very logical but oh boy... he does not see the 6000+ other aspects and dimensions of logic and I just can not explain it to him. But he looks after me which is really nice and honestly I really need it. The weird thing is that everibody say that INTPs are the robots but I actually think that my ISTJ is waaay more robotic than me. Sometimes I feel I am hippie compare to him.

I'm an INTP dating an INFJ. Well she take care of me, She make me feel special, She hear me out and understand things from perspective whenever I throw random logical theories towards her and better she contradict my theory and boom we're in a logical debate and we both love that shit. Sometimes she gets mad so I understand the situation and hear her out, And sometimes when I feel overwhelmed and start speaking shit out ( Emotional response to be precise ) she hears me out and empathize with me, I mostly be aware about that I'm acting emotionally and get the hang of situation as fast I could... But she understands just everything and never blames things on me, She always loves me the same knowing the things I mostly talk are shit, She never calls me weird, She understand me better than anyone ever did... She's surely a blessing for me!

(INTP)
when i try to explain to my friends that "the most sexy thing about a woman" is if that hypothetical woman finds a logical mistake or fallacy in my argument/statement and corrects me on it they just have this "?_?" look on their face.
in an ideal scenario she is an expert in a certain field and can nerd out about it for hours. there is nothing more vitalizing than learning new stuff and meet smart(er) persons.
i find it to be extremly weird that many people dont call you out because of some arbitrary politeness reason....

It isn't logically sound to knowingly enter into a relationship with one of us INTP, so from the very beginning, we are already disappointed in our partner's decision making skills.

"You need a tolerance for irrationally"

I refuse 😭

[Sophia-zecc]

I don't know why, but as a female INTP, I usually find myself being attracted to INFP and ENTP men. The idealism and cuteness of INFPs just fascinate me, and I really like the ENTP's way of thinking and sarcasm.

INTP and dating? I thought it was a myth

[kathleenpage]

I’m an INTP, very happily married to an INTJ for the last 7 years. I think having someone with the same passion for abstract thinking, but also thinks in a different way, is a huge advantage. We can challenge each other without anyone getting too hung up on offending/being offended. I also think it helps to have someone who is a “J” ... decisions need to be made, and I’d rather by the advisor than the decider.

[meridoberman]

I think one of the main characteristics of an INTP in a relationship is that we can be extremely understanding. Even if the other person wronged me or made a mistake, I can almost always understand why, or at least I know that there are many possible reasons why this could have happened, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the other person doesn't care. The problem is, that many people abuse this. Maybe not even intentionally, but they can get too comfortable relying on the INTP's being understanding. Maybe it is the combination of seeing all the possibilities and suppressing our own emotions. If you don't take your emotions into account when making a decision, why would other people do it?

[kyliedan]

ENTJ dating an INTP. We’re both mature, healthy versions of our types. That definitely helps. If we had more of the stereotypes then it’d be much more difficult.

[tammy]

"A relationship is essentially two people who mutually agreed to put up with each other's bulls it."
One of the best definitions for a relationship I've encountered in a while.

[fishy]

INTP here currently dating an ENFP. She's been pretty patient with me, but I am just so terribly awkward. I feel like a robot constantly short circuiting around her. She's much more touchy and flirty which makes me feel even more awkward, and she can talk endlessly about actresses and musicals I know nothing about. This is perfectly fine with me though because she doesn't really expect me to contribute to that conversation much. I listen, but I can usually expend most of my mental energy on something more interesting to me (like video games) while she rants. We play Stardew Valley together.

Update: We broke up. She was too clingy for me.
