      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.

    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.

      One day i said hi to a nice charismatic-looking latina girl in a museum, the interaction turned into an improvised date we spent the whole evening together, and at some point when i ask her about the ring she's wearing and she drops it on me that she took a vow of chastity at her church 😅
      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.

      If you would like too be adopted by an Extrovert stand in some public place and then look around until you see a person talking too a group of people or perhaps someone that's actively looking for conversation, then wait, they will find you and adopt you as a friend. You cannot unfriend them, you are now there friend whether you like it or not.

      @@iampidgeon6923 That’s pretty accurate. My first few days of High School, I was super nervous because I didn’t really have anyone to sit with at lunch. One of my now friends invited me to sit with her and her friends and it was great. Granted, it took me a few weeks to feel comfortable enough to sit with them without asking first but eh, that’s life. A few months in she even told one of her friends that they took me under their wings

    The kiss 💋 hahahahaha 🤣
    As an INFJ I would have to think forever if I really, would actually kiss just anyone.
    Not me. Maybe other INFJs would, not me.
    I’m EXTREMELY SELECTIVE.

      Yup absolutely. The thought of touching people is disgusting enough(empath INFJ) but kissing yuck! I’ve only kissed 2 people in my life. First was my ex husband.....but when my partner kissed me for the first time I bout fell over in shock, I didn’t know it would be that fun! 😆

      Because dogs require you to take them outside at least twice a day. You know out the door, in public. Maybe even to a park where there are other people, and other dogs. Unless you have a back yard, and another dog to keep it company. I actually like dogs too, but lot more work than a cat
