I love this thread. I've been in a relationship with an entp for a few months now. He both captivates and mystifies me. The whole experience with him thus far has brought about a bit of a paradigm shift in my understanding of what it means to be in love. As an INFP it's no surprise that I misunderstood him a great deal when it came to the emotional plane and how he viewed both his emotions, my emotions, and what a relationship "is". But he has been so calm and patient with me that I've felt safe to open my mind to a different way of relating and have developed a new found respect for the different ways we all value our intimate relationships. We all want and need to be loved. How that happens to us all is as different as we are. I've learned to step back when my emotional tsunamis hit me and wait for the calm to return before I approach him and as awkward and unnatural as that was to do in the beginning, I find now that I appreciate the way it helps me to view a given situation through his eyes and how it has soothed a lot of my habitual insecurities. He's been a tremendous gift to me and I'm really grateful for threads like this that allow me to peek inside the complex and exciting entp mind and heart. So, thank you all for your candid sharing
