Practical and fact-minded individuals, whose reliability cannot be doubted.

'Absolutely. This has been the longest stretch since our last visit. It seems like that's when I start to run out of steam. He's not a fan of phones or texting in the first place. So when he's in...

Sure will! I don't recall any visit of ours that's had any less than amazing moments. Though, if I'm living closer to him, it's only natural for that to change at some point. Lol.

Thank you for that! I definitely needed an understanding reply. I typically try to send him short messages during his withdrawals just to let him know I'm thinking about him. It certainly makes it...

I know several people on this board are well-versed in love languages. I would like to share my current situation. I've been romantically involved with a long-time, long-distance friend for the...

The ones offering the greatest assistance are the area churches and other non-profits. They haven't had much meat or non-perishables because they can't keep it cold. Bread, water, and ice are things...

Thanks, OldManRivers! He actually just purchased a plane ticket to me. I fully intend on ensuring he has a nice, relaxing time with a properly working air conditioner in just a couple weeks. Lol.

Being in a long distance relationship with an INFJ myself, I can tell you that sometimes she's not going to have a clue you're feeling that way. My suggestion would be to tell her how you're feeling....

He has an open invite ALWAYS (I've made this clear). Though, I don't think he'd be able to make the trip with his current job responsibilities. He works for a non-profit, so his attention is demanded...

It was the big storm that hit the mid-Atlantic region the day before yesterday. I offered to send any medical supplies (as I have access), but I would need specifics as to what was needed. So, I...

I'll try to get some more info out of him tomorrow. I offered to help anyway I could. I would hope if he needed something specific, he would vocalize that so I would know how to go about meeting the...

If I did that, I'd have to tell him I was coming. He doesn't like unplanned visits as it throws him off his routine. I'm just afraid all will be well by the time I get there and then I'll have gone...

Just talked to my long-distance SO. Without giving too much information, their area is needing some disaster relief. There hasn't been much out-of-state assistance and I'm about a 2-day drive away....

Jawz That was a very thoughtful response! Thank you. I do see what you're saying about the interchangeability of the the love languages. I look forward to seeing these in their fullness once distance...

OldManRivers Thanks for the reply! Come to think of it, he often sends the this made me think of you or I thought you might enjoy this sort of forwards. It helps me to know he had me on his mind....

GoodOldDreamer I am Quality Time (primary) and Touch. We talk a few times a week via phone for around an hour. I enjoy this. He is not fond of using a webcam so we don't do that. For some reason, I...

My INFJ SO and I have done the long-distance thing for a few months. I'll be moving out there soon, but while we're apart, I've made it a point to continue to affirm him in our relationship. He has...

etre No, I say you know a lot when explaining a situation or telling a story.

I've been in a romantic relationship with someone for a few months now. We were friends first and know each other quite well. Recently, I feel he has become a bit critical of me. We've not faught and...

I find it interesting that we don't have people replying. That means: 1.) There are a lot of single INFJ's. 2.) There are a lot of INFJ's that are proposed to, but don't propose. 3.) Or, nobody wants...

Wanting to hear some stories about INFJ's who proposed. What did you do? Where did you do it? Was he/she expecting it?

Is this true with a SO as well?

What could an S change that could make that different for you? Any specific examples?

I know INFJ's easily get drained by people. What are some tips to non-INFJ types that would keep them from being a drainer? If someone takes an interest in you, what can they do to show that interest...

The question would be then- would you answer their text? Lol.

And what about the times when it's neither and just to assess a situation or recharge your batteries?

When you are in withdraw mode, how do communication to very close friends & loved ones? What is your communication style with people you are expected to regularly communicate with? Brief...

I've noticed a bit my INFJ seems to get concerned about my feelings after we have a deeper conversation. Usually, the next day, he'll ask how I'm feeling. I, in turn, return the favor to see if...

We've been friends for years. However, it just recently turned romantic within the last few weeks (I've wanted this for years and I think, to an extent, so has he). We haven't given whatever this...

An INFJ that I've forever had an interest in has seemed to do a bit of a change up. I was wondering if this was typical when moving from a friendship to a romantic relationship. Before, I heard...

That's like my mother and her yappy dogs. She has two house dogs that love to bark. If I call, I'll spend more time hearing her telling the dogs to shut up than actually talking to her. lol.

This is awesome!

lol...I'm pretty sure he does multitask during our conversation. I try to keep it short...but sometimes I'm just so excited to tell him everything. Ha! He could fall asleep for all I care...I just...

I think he would like it more if we had something deep to talk about. We typically keep up with each other enough that once we do talk, it's just funny banter. Now, when we have a really deep...

Do you ever miss that emotional connection, though? You can't hear tone in text. Sometimes, when he's just teasing me via text I'm like, Is he serious or is this him teasing me? It's because I...

So would most say that they would be satisfied with phone conversations about once or twice a week with these relationships? My INFJ is sporadic in communication. Sometimes we talk a few times a...

How often would you say you video conferenced?

Do you live far from your family? How often do you talk to them on the phone? How long do your conversations tend to be? Same with long distance relationships. How often do you speak on the...

I usually feel a bit uncomfortable around someone in pain or emotional because I'm really not sure of the best way to offer help or support. I'm afraid anything I do might make the pain worse. I am...

Do you make the first move? If so, how do you work up enough courage to do it? Do you put out any feelers to see if such an initiation is welcomed? If so, what?

The first thing that would catch my attention is looks. Generally, my preference would include: Taller than me (not hard...I'm only 5'2) Dark hair Nice smile Kind eyes Good shoulders...

I'd do anything for him! Funny part of that is, he knows it...and I think he gets a kick out of it. I'm interested in how you finally came to marry your wife. When did you know she was it for...

I hope you're right! Hopefully this will just be some clarity. In all honesty, if everything is as promising as I hope, I could easily see myself picking up and moving where he is. I would've done...

I believe his are touch and gifts. I send him care packages regularly (every month or two) with music...books...his favorite candy, etc. I'm hoping to also meet his love of touch as well. After so...

I've come here a few times for some advice. I love discovering things about him and I want to effectively communicate how special he is to me. I know that when he revealed that he was an INFJ, that...

I'm pretty sure I know that I would like our relationship to progress to a more romantic or committed level. I don't think he is as sure as I am. He is interested, but unsure. He's shared he has...

Compliments I can do! Obviously, there is a lot I admire about him...and I love taking the opportunity to let him know it! What about offering to cook him a meal? I'm a pretty good cook and it...

Definitely wouldn't want to sabatage it. In fact, I love that about him. At the same time, I do want to show him how much I appreciate that and, in a sense, reward him for being that way. It does...

I'm going to be visiting a long-time INFJ male friend. This is someone with whom I've had a bit of a romantic spark for years now and this trip is going to tell me if there is potential here for...

When it comes to a life partner, what traits do you look for or appreciate as an INFJ?

I've decided to spend some more time with an INFJ friend to see if there is more to our relationship. I know he has a tendency to not want to go too deep into what he's thinking (though, he shares a...'
