Guide to dating an infp

INFPs are meaning-driven people. Everything in their life has a purpose or is helping them find a purpose — dating is no different. We want our partners to be deep people who will give us a sense of satisfaction in life. We want to feel like together, we are living a meaningful life. INFPs are introverts — this means they recharge their batteries by having quality time alone with themselves.

For an INFP, relationships may be less numerous but those that are formed are often long-lasting. This Myers-Briggs personality is defined as primarily being introverted, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving, although this description really only scratches the surface of this character. An estimated four to five percent of the population has the INFP personality. Although there is a fairly balanced ratio of males and females with this character, it does seem that this persona appears slightly more often in males. When a conflict does arise, this persona may have a profound emotional reaction. They often go by their feelings rather than what science, facts, or logic suggests.

INFPs present a calm, pleasant face to the world. They appear to be tranquil and peaceful to others, with simple desires. In fact, the INFP internally feels his or her life intensely. In the relationship arena, this causes them to have a very deep capacity for love and caring which is not frequently found with such intensity in the other types.

Not all of these greatly apply to myself personally, but I can relate to many of them. On a side note, please never judge your relationship based off of a personality test. Emotions are not a solid, standstill object. They can change…you can change. Respect her space.
