What do you guys think of ENFP's? Has anyone dated and had a pleasurable experience? What is the main problem with ENFP's do you think? How can we improve?

I think INFJ's are brilliant thinkers, but hard to find. I want one!

    I like ENFP's! I have not dated one.... but for me, I think that I would work better with a J. I perceive "P" people to be very spontaneous and unpredictable, sometimes unreliable, and often not on time, when we arrange to meet or something.

    INFJ's are really picky. They aren't looking for something unless it can potentially lead to something really wonderful. Since ENFP's can get a lot of attention naturally because of your fun personalities, sometimes INFJ can feel like a wall flower. INFJ's are sometimes looking for someone who will try to include them and make them feel like they are not just a part of the audience.

    Hope this helps a bit!

    I've only been involved with one ENFP, so I hate to generalize much based on only one case, but it's been a complicated relationship that has been going on for half my life. There's an intense mutual fascination, but we really communicate differently and have very different wants and needs. But there are some explosive romantic fireworks there. We've been close friends and confidants for the past 15 years, and while we are both very aware that trying to pursue a serious relationship would likely end in spectacular failure (we are in very different "places" in life with very different, conflicting dreams and goals), the few times we have gotten romantically involved have been breathtaking.

    So if my experience is typical, then it's basically like playing with fire. Lots of fun, exhilerating, but you've really gotta be careful and you've both got to be really committed to sticking together. The main problem seems to be very different wants and needs, but as long as you keep very open communication and both parties make a strong effort to both clearly express their needs and make sure that the others' needs are met then I think it could be a very wonderful relationship.

    i love inspirers , most of my closest friends are enfps, and i gotta say i love their spontaneity. i seem to have a subconscious attraction to them, i also tend to reflect their enthusiasm so well, being empathetic i must say i love it when the feelings i'm perceiving are intense. :D
    So yes we are wired to function together somehow, it also depends on how close the enfp is willing to involve him/herself with the infj.
    Funny thing i haven't dated an enfp ever.
    Still i think it fits perfect since while conversating with enfps you can notice how they love expressing about their inner selves and we infj can notice how aware of their feelings they really are and how much in touch with their intuition ;)
    Sometimes its really funny how they jump from one conclusion to another and change point of views fastly :P

    As long as they don't get manipulative (and they are really good at it :D) and well you could now and then accept constructive criticism...oh what the hell i love u all, enfps,

    I love them! All three of my very close friends are ENFPs. Sometimes the lack of follow-through can be a little frustrating, but I don't worry too much about it because it's clear they have the best of intentions. They ALWAYS apologize if they don't respond quickly to your email, forgot to call you, whatever. So it never feels one-sided in the friendship at all.

    I would be willing to date one for sure, but I think I would be exhausted pretty quickly. The spontaneity is a nice change from my disciplined (and boring) routine, but it takes a lot of energy for me to participate in it. I am a huge fan of INFPs for dating. I suppose they can be clingy but that doesn't bother me...the emotional complexity and openness is worth it.
