Question #1190229049Wednesday, 19-Sep-2007
Category: Intertype Relations
Hey guys! So I posted a question earlier, and haven't heard any response yet, so I thought I'd reframe it. Can you guys tell me some more about look-a-like relationships? What are the joys and the conflicts? Do you have any first-hand experiences with them? I'm about to fall in love and I'm trying to keep my eyes wide-open... Thank you so much!!! -- Rachel

A1 Hi, I cannot look at your question not being answered... so at least something, though maybe not very useful: my first-hand experience with look-alike relationships is that they are quite nice, but nothing special. Some mutual understanding, but no great joys or quarrels. As regards your previous question about ESFp men, the ones I know like independent women with logical thinking and abhor those who make them feel too F (too strong women, or too romantic ones), or want them to behave in a T way. They like their Te being appreciated (often, they have developed deep insights into some areas of life and they are glad when someone takes these insights seriously). They enjoy both listening to someone and being listened to. They like to make fun of their partners and they are very tolerant, sometimes undecisive. They like to be sure about the actual state of the relationship and they express their love often, but indirectly, by practical care more than words. Though they are Se, they need some privacy and time to think things over. And personally, though I am an ESFp myself, I would advise you to really keep your eyes wide open and allow the relationship some time, because ESFps tend to be unstable and it is useful to observe them for some time and try to make out their values. But anyway, people even within one type are different, so my description neednt be true about everyone. -- Ezis

A2 Thanks so much for the advice - I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! For whatever it's worth, one of the things about our relationship that I enjoy the most is that we give each other a lot of space to be who we are. Neither one of us has tried (as of yet!) to make the other into something else. I definitely have noticed that he prefers to communicate his feelings through actions, and I am trying to be as observant as possible. It's hard not to be a bit biased when you're in the throes of some serious pheremones though... We have a lot of fun together, and I really enjoy how non-judgmental he is. I have noticed that he is a fantastic friend, insanely loyal, and he has told me that he absolutely wants to raise a family. All good things in my book so far. Is it possible (I can't help but wonder with my dominant N function) that an enormous amount of physical chemistry with a big dose of mutual respect can create a strong bond? So far this feels anything but blah... We shall see I suppose; it is still early. -- Rachel
