My INTP and I do the same. We totally ignore mass-market holidays like Valentines Day, and save the festivities for our anniversary, a day just for us. One of our favorite dates is to go to dinner, then wander around one of those bookstores that stays open until 11 pm. We also enjoy hiking and working in our yard and garden together. We are both real homebodies. I think we work very well together and therefore get alot done as a couple. Both being introverts, our socializing styles are very compatible. He is much more laid back and superficially outgoing. He will chat with the neighbors and has no problem with social events as long as they aren't too crazy. I don't even know the names of most of the neighbors and have less patience with socializing, but we tend to socialize with known and relatively predictable groups, so overall tolerable.Well, I think my wife is INTJ and we've known each other for 13 years almost, and we have a young daughter.
I think we complement each other well. In terms of romance, we aren't that romantic but that doesn't mean you can evade it altogether. But in my experience you have to show that you care. You may both generally turn your nose up at the soppy romantic things that other people do, so express yourself in the unconventional manners you're already accustomed to. Use that typical INTP humour; not many other people may get it but INTJs with their minds know what you're on about most of the time. We make fun of the other things people do for romance and we see right through the fake stuff.

Ti and Te don't mix well
I've always been curious about what it would be like to date another NT, but I've never actually done it.
What would be your NT of choice?
how do I post a question? I'm new here
Ti and Te don't mix well
Like shit and strawberry shortcake, Ran.
I will point that out to my INTP on our anniversary. Perhaps it helps that neither of us is an artist, or gets drunk much at all.I thought this thread was comparing the artwork of INTPs and INTJs when drunk with love.but um...
Not a recommended relationship.
