Because I "love" controversy.
Of course, I'm sure this relationship can work. But one of my close INTJ friends dated and ESFP for over a year and their relationship ended in something of a train-wreck. Now that they're apart, I wondered how they even got together in the first place and how it managed to work at all. The two types just seem so ridiculously different, and not just because they're opposites. (I've met an INFP who reminds me of an ESTJ, an ENFP who reminds me of an ISTJ...etc) Opposite types can still be similar in personality. However, this is one where I see very little overlap.
INTJs, what has been your experience dating ESFPs? What went wrong, if it did, or how did you make it work?
ESFPs, same question except about INTJs.
I apologize in advance if this is a remarkably ignorant question/causes people to get angry. This isn't meant to be a "why does this type suck" thread, rather I want a better understanding for how these relationships work/don't.
