The Ultimate Dating Guide for Each MBTI Type

01
ENFP:
“Dating isn’t about following a plan; it’s about creating something together.”

You love surprises and spontaneity, so your ideal date might involve flying to Brazil on a whim or dining at the city’s most unique restaurant while discussing life philosophy, business ventures, and your aspirations for the future. Afterward, you might go stargazing, paint the sunset on a canvas, or enjoy a pancake breakfast at midnight. Deep conversations, authentic self-expression, and a spirit of adventure make your dates fun.

02
ENTP:
“Fun is the starting point of love.”

You enjoy challenging your mind, so your ideal date should include conversations that broaden your horizons and explore new possibilities and ideas. You are excited by friendly debates, in-depth discussions, problem-solving, and sparking inspiration. At the same time, you have a sensitive side and enjoy spontaneous, romantic trips, such as weekend getaways, wine tastings, and afternoon picnics by the lake. You seek a partner with big dreams who dares to challenge you and is emotionally honest.

03
INFP:
“Don’t plan my itinerary for me; I’d rather be understood.”

You crave genuine and profound emotions, so your ideal date should be filled with imagination, meaning, and authenticity. Whether you’re browsing the library shelves, discussing your favorite stories, or strolling through an art museum and pointing out your favorite paintings, you’re excited by the prospect of peering into others’ souls. You also enjoy dates with personal significance, such as reading to shelter dogs, volunteering at a soup kitchen, or shoveling snow for an elderly couple. The combination of meaning and intimacy makes your dating life passionate.

04
INTP:
“Give me time, and I’ll give you the world.”

You crave imaginative and creative dates, such as discussing ideas over coffee or competing with your date at a board game café. As an introvert, you appreciate considerate, passionate, and empathetic dates that balance your nature. Low-key yet intimate experiences like strolling along a corridor and discussing dreams and aspirations, spending an afternoon in the library, or cuddling up together on movie night warm your heart.

05
ENTJ:
“Please give me a date with intellectual sparks.”

You enjoy dates that are deep, challenging, and soul-stirring. Whether it’s discussing philosophy while playing chess, talking about religion over coffee, or trying something new you’ve never experienced before—you’re not satisfied with the ordinary. You’re not afraid to step out of your comfort zone; instead, you appreciate interactions that are “unsafe” yet stimulate thought. Your ideal partner is someone with firm values, consistency between words and actions, and inner strength. What disappoints you most are superficial, hollow settings—shallow small talk, artificial rituals, and repetitive routines—all of which immediately lose your interest.

06
INTJ:
“Growing together in silence is what makes my heart race.”

For you, an ideal date involves intimacy and exploration. It could mean holding hands while walking through the forest, attending a lecture by a favorite speaker together, or sitting in a dimly lit room, each reading a book, and occasionally sharing a thought or two. Whether you’re gaining new knowledge through learning or discussing Charles Dickens’s world over a cup of hot apple cider, what you crave most is a connection of minds and a resonance of souls. When the date ends, you hope to take away not just a beautiful memory but also a sense of inspiration and enlightenment. You appreciate quiet yet profound exchanges and dislike noisy extravagance. You refuse to waste time on superficialities. What truly captivates you is quiet, sincere, and growth-oriented companionship.

07
ENFJ:
“I don’t just want to date you; I want to walk beside you.”

You crave a dating experience filled with authenticity, depth, and meaning—gazing at the stars, exploring the mysteries of the human soul, and getting to know your partner deeply. You also yearn to show your adventurous spirit, not hesitating to dance, perform, or even try an improv theater experience together. What brings you happiness is walking side by side with someone equally passionate and loving, growing together, and feeling the light of life through mutual support.

08
INFJ:
“It’s not the excitement that moves me, but the resonance.”

You are drawn to quiet, heartfelt dating scenarios—like sipping tea by the window on a rainy night, discussing childhood and dreams; or strolling by the lake at sunset, discussing the connection between the world and the soul. You value the meaning of every detail and hope the other person is genuinely interested in getting to know you. It’s not about how much money is spent or how flashy the form is, but whether there is a “resonance” between you at that moment.

09
ESFJ:
“Gentleness is built from details.”

You enjoy planned, ritualistic date arrangements, such as cooking together, visiting a flower market, celebrating holidays, or even carefully prepared small surprises and gift exchanges. You remember their favorite colors, comedians, and coffee flavors—you express love through details. What truly moves you is someone who responds to you, cares about your feelings, and isn’t hesitant to express affection.

10
ISFJ:
“Steady companionship is what truly touches me.”

Your ideal date is often quiet and cozy, such as baking together in the kitchen, gazing at each other in a quiet café, or sharing a sandwich on a bench in the old town. You don’t pursue superficial romance, but rather a chemistry that stands the test of time. You hope the other person can see the persistence behind your gentleness and understand your deep affection for them.

11
ESTJ:
“Good feelings are built on efficiency.”

You prefer goal-oriented, efficient ways of interacting—including dating. If you can solve problems together, complete tasks, plan trips, or even tackle high-intensity sports projects, that’s particularly appealing to you. You admire reliable, action-oriented people who keep their promises. The love you seek isn’t superficial or fantasy-driven; it’s about walking hand in hand with a solid foundation.

12
ISTJ:
“The most touching romance is when I can trust you.”

You prefer familiar settings, a steady rhythm, and the feeling of being trusted. The ideal date might be a restaurant you frequently visit, a book you’ve always wanted to share, or a weekend trip planned in advance. You value the sense of security that comes from feeling understood, and you appreciate when someone respects your boundaries, routines, and way of thinking. Love for you is about building depth slowly, not fleeting passion.

13
ESFP:
“As long as you’re sincere, I’ll stay with you until dawn.”

You love excitement and novelty. Dates should be fun and interactive—dancing, amusement parks, music festivals, spontaneous trips… these are your favorites. You seek to have fun together, but you also naturally reveal your true feelings in a relaxed atmosphere. You dislike stiff or overly rational atmospheres and instead hope that the other person will let down their guard and join you in having fun, laughing, and immersing yourselves in the beauty of the moment.

14
ISFP:
“I don’t say it, but I’m always feeling you.”

You enjoy delicate and quiet beauty, and you like building deep connections with people in nature. An ideal date for you might include watching the sunset together, strolling through a botanical garden, making pottery, watching an independent film, or simply daydreaming together. You don’t demand much from a relationship, but it must be sincere and respectful, not dramatic. You hope for not intrusive intimacy, but rather companionship where you can feel at ease, even when you’re not speaking.

15
ESTP:
“Playing together is more important than saying ‘I like you.’”

You’re the type of person who turns dates into adventure games. Activities like bungee jumping, go-karting, escape rooms, and spontaneous city treasure hunts are ideal for you. You enjoy spontaneous, flexible interactions and find it easier to express your feelings in relaxed settings. You hope your partner can keep up with you, embrace the unconventional, try new things, and create memorable experiences with you.

16
ISTP:
“My affection is hidden in the things we do together.”

You prefer unique, undisturbed dating styles, such as fixing motorcycles, woodworking, archery, camping… Any scenario where you can focus on tasks and spend quiet time together suits you well. You don’t talk much, but you are emotionally sensitive. You hope the other person understands your independence, doesn’t pressure or rush you, and is there when you need them. For you, love is a deep connection within the space you give each other.

Extroverted (E)

Extroverts crave honest communication, so feel free to boldly express your thoughts, desires, and needs. In matters of the heart, they tend to communicate proactively and confront issues head-on. When dating, they can usually adapt to more activities and lively environments, and sometimes even prefer such atmospheres.

Introverted (I)

Introverted people prefer quiet, low-distraction environments. One-on-one, in-depth communication is particularly important to them. They may need time to think carefully before discussing emotional issues in public and require more time to respond to questions. Excessive noise, distractions, and sudden interruptions may make them feel uncomfortable.

Sensing (S)

These individuals tend to prefer direct, concrete, and linear communication styles. If dates primarily revolve around abstract or philosophical topics, they may find them boring. While they can occasionally enjoy such discussions, they are more focused on practical experiences, details, and interactions in life. When addressing emotional issues, they prefer concrete, straightforward approaches and dislike psychological games or vague discussions.

Intuitive (N)

Intuitive individuals prefer using analogies, metaphors, and more indirect expressions. They may find overly concrete conversations tedious, though they can appreciate such topics in moderation. They are more inclined to explore philosophical, abstract concepts, and theoretical possibilities. When facing relationship issues, they focus on the bigger picture and the impact of current problems, appreciating those who can shift perspectives, imagine possibilities, and reason alongside them.

Thinking Type (T)

Thinking types prefer direct, honest communication. If there are issues between you, speak openly. They dislike evasion, cold wars, or any form of emotional manipulation and are easily troubled by emotional fluctuations. They aim to resolve issues through logical thinking and may sometimes struggle to empathize with their partner, but this does not mean they do not care.

Feeling Type (F)

Feeling types place great importance on politeness and empathy. If there are issues between you, they want to know, but they also want you to confirm your feelings for them (if you have them). Without affirming words to balance things out, they may feel overwhelmed by criticism. They enjoy the “getting to know you” game and crave intimate, honest communication.

Judging Type (J)

For Judging types, respecting their time and energy is crucial. If you commit to being somewhere at a certain time, be sure to arrive on time. They want to know the direction your relationship is heading. At the end of a date, tell them your thoughts—are you looking to develop a serious relationship, or just casual conversation? Tell them! They hate guessing games.

Perceiving (P)

For Perceiving types, respecting their freedom and space is crucial. Don’t force them to make decisions or commitments too quickly; give them room to explore! Let them choose their own meals; don’t try to control them. Remember, they love surprises! If they feel their options are limited, they may become anxious.
