      Honestly, some people did this to me and it can be hurtful in some cases. But since the other person is ghosting me they just take the easy way out because they just don't want to be confronted with someone being hurt. But it would be much easier and less painful actually to just end things politely.
      I don't think that being honest and writing a last message where you say that it didn't work out has something to do with being an introvert or not. Not doing it is just a coward move.

    INFJ here, first dates are awesome. Even if it goes nowhere, the prior text conversations weed out people who’s company I wouldn’t enjoy so every date is an amazing conversation and a new friend.
    My real struggle is anxiety from overthinking and getting attached too quick. INFJ habits of overthinking, finding patterns, and always looking at the long term.

      Yeah, it's like, after all our screening to even go on the date, we are dealing with people we wouldn't mind marrying. :D So it's tough to keep distant.

    INFJ here. My INTJ hubby suffered for 5 long months as he pretended to like people and parties just to have an excuse to invite me over pretty much every day.
    I was pretty successful at avoiding those.
    Then he simply confessed to my best friend how much he was into me and how sad he was that I was never around.
    1st kiss was a week later and all pretexts of social extroversion were promptly and permanently cancelled. Sweet relief.

      I found this properly hilarious
      Especially as this was one of the coolest and hottest dates ever, we were amazing meaningful conversation and bonding with an overtly sexy sexy vibe to it,
      At the end of the night i looked her body up and down told her 'you know though, if i took you against your will, ... technically that wouldn't be a violation of your chastity story' and then that's how her vow died in short order 🤣

    INTP here. Our dating style can be summed up like this. Way back in the 2000s I lived and worked in D.C. as a barista and part-time web developer, because obviously my goal in life was to become a cliche, but also, hey, free coffee. One day the most physically beautiful man I had ever seen came in, which already made me nervous, but I decided I was an adult and could definitely take his order, probably, so I turned to him and asked what he would like, and instead of responding to my question he just stared directly into my eyes for what seemed like three hellish hours, but was more likely a couple of seconds, then finally gave me his coffee order (STILL making direct eye contact), in a gorgeous Italian accent. By this point you’re probably waiting for some meet cute ending, but that’s not how INTPs do things. I had never been happier to get someone their coffee just so I could break eye contact with him. I was starting to panic, but was talking myself down, telling myself I just had to give him his coffee and he would go, but no. I gave him his coffee and he asked me for directions to a museum, and began making eye contact again. This time he was even smiling. What kind of monster does that? I somehow manage to give him directions, and because I chatter incessantly when I get nervous I start telling him how it’s one of my favorite museums, in an apparent attempt to build a verbal wall between us, and when I finish he says “you have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen. Would you like to come to the museum with me?” And, because I am one smooth lady who knows how to catch a man, I squealed out the beginnings of a scream, then ran into the back room.

    And people thinking you're shy, because they're not interesting and you don't want to leave because you're trying to avoid drama

    I honestly prefer to stay on the dating app just friendly chatting, it's a huge deal breaker when they want to do stuff like "meet" or "call"

    I know the video is way old, but I’m commenting anyway. You. Are. Hilarious. I cannot remember the last time I’ve had that many belly laughs. Thank you! “… or you’ve simply realized you want to be alone forever.” I’m desperately in love with you, so I’ve officially subscribed 🥰 -Lisa (INFP) 🙂
