Do you think there's a possibility that she might like you back? It seems like you are already friends and are already in a group of mutual friends.  I always...|||would this be before or after breaking up with the boyfriend?|||I'm the same! I never actually want to start a real relationship with someone I have a crush on. I just enjoy having the crush for the sake of the crush.

Thanks Mercer. This really made me laugh. :tongue:|||He seems to need things to be spelled out for him directly. Is not sensitive to feelings and can't really read people. Notices and appreciates a lot of sensory things about the world around him, but...|||I went through this in high school. I became seriously paranoid-delusional and thought everyone was talking about me, laughing at me, etc. But I think this is a result of being put on antidepressants...|||i'm an infp but i'm usually very direct and tell the person i like that i like them.  that's probably because i get so agitated holding it all inside that i just have to let it out so i can stop...|||I completely understand. it's exhausting to be processing the emotions of two people...    yeah. just as i suspected i guess. the funny thing is that this is exactly how this guy talks and writes...|||now after writing that last post and thinking about how I can get myself to move on, I'm feeling kind of sad. and i realised that probably the only way i can actually get closure and move on is if i...|||I know exactly what you mean. And even though I really don't know this guy very well at all (there's only so much you can get to know of someone after a week), I feel like I can read him like a book....|||i guess i always had the feeling that he'd be successful at whatever he did because when he decides to do something, he approaches it with discipline and purpose and works hard at it fairly...|||and don't dwell too much on your track record. you've got a lot of good qualities and interests and seem like a genuinely nice guy. if you're worried about how you look, i can tell you that for most...|||i can't really say if this works for other INFP girls, but i know that personally, i get bored really easily if some guy just tries to ask me lots of questions about myself. i find it really tedious....|||maybe he is an intj. that's funny bc i think my dad might be intj, and when i first met my friend, i remember thinking that he reminded me a lot of my dad. didn't know at the time that they might be...|||it's not there. it's not one of those eternally long quizzes that gives you a verbal description at the end. It gives you a graphical representation of all of your functions based on how strong they...|||hahahahaha. My sister is ENFP and she just told me today that whatever guy she dated would have to be content not hearing from her for something like three days at a time, because she just has too...|||I don't know if this is the case, especially since he keeps saying that his relationship is important to him, etc. etc. But since he doesn't seem to mentally process his emotions in real time, I...|||I agree with Elissa. This first part sounds pretty straight up INFP to me. But I don't get so offended from criticism, I think. Maybe I used to, but I developed a pretty thick skin over the years....|||Not that it matters, because it's more of a technicality at this point, but we didn't have sex. Not that he didn't want to.
