MDP2525 - Maybe this is a similar situation with the current period being the month or two of knowing each other "platonically". There is definitely attraction on my part and unless I am reading things completely wrong, I think it is there on his part too. He is also pretty old school, former military and conservative in addition to being ISTP - so it likely could be both his type and his personal preference influencing this slow pace. Thanks for replying!

Yeah, that's definately possible. I know personally I am not the type to just go looking for someone to date and sleep with. I have had a coworker one time joke that we were on a date because it was just me and her and I do open the door and give my jacket if it gets cold. Almost like every female I take out can be treated as a date and that's just who I am. For me it's more presence then anything else to determine how much I like you.

What do you mean by presence?

It's how much time I spend with the person. The more I like you the more and more time I will spend with the person. Because I have usually figured out a person I already know that time is all that's needed to allow things to grow. :shrug: That's just who I am. Not sure it's type related though. First step of presence is learning more until I decide we are good together.
