How do ISTP types behave when they fall in love or have a crush? We have gathered the opinions of various ISTP individuals from the world and translated them for those who are interested in the ISTP type. I hope this will be helpful for anyone who has a crush on or is dating an ISTP!
The comments below are translations of various comments written in different languages. As a result, there may be some awkward or nonsensical sentences.
Comments
“ISTP – Mulling over what was said, wondering if they have feelings for me – Searching for places they might like – Studying their thoughts in detail – Reflecting on the places we’ve been and the conversations we had – Imagining a future together.”
“ISTP… I secretly flirt a lot pretending to be an open person, but when I feel like there’s no chance because my crush is very popular, I desperately hide it without showing any signs. Or I just keep flirting… choosing to remain as that kind of friend. If I ever show a sincere affectionate action, I just get shot down immediately.”
“If I were to summarize how I, an ISTP, act around someone I like, it’s about money, attention and… remembering trivial things about what they like or what happened in the past, and caring about them as if I don’t. I’m too shy to openly show that I like them and take care of them, so I pretend not to while actually doing it.”
“ISTP 1. First, I must be physically attracted. 2. I feel like it hurts my pride to admit that I like someone, but once I fall, I just keep falling. 3. If I’m not sure that the person is interested in me, I try not to show any signs. 4. I pretend not to care, but if they’re in my line of sight, I pay full attention. That’s just me, though, I don’t know about others… haha.”
“ISTPs are like fools. I can hardly act first until I’m sure. Once I’m sure, I become proactive, but before that, I can’t even initiate a conversation, let alone make eye contact. It’s like a boundary has been set around them. When they show no interest in me, I diligently try to make eye contact and approach them. But if they show interest, I ruin all the efforts I’ve made and I become such a fool.. I feel like a big fool… ㅠㅠ”
“To attract an ISTP, you have to gradually blend into their daily life. They are very wary of strangers, so if someone suddenly appears or acts differently than usual, their guard goes way up.”
“As someone with both INTP and ISTP traits, I have many questions I want to ask but can’t. I hope they will contact me, and if they don’t, I do it myself. Sometimes, I kill the mood by saying something weird even when the conversation is going well. I imagine dating them a lot. I want to confess quickly without showing any signs. I feel bad and think about giving up if they don’t contact me first. It takes me dozens of times to think about a single sentence and then I can barely send it with my friend’s encouragement. I blurt out to my friends that I like them. I take a lot of advice from my friends but it always fails. I find myself frustrating. I hint at my feelings with my profile picture or profile music. But when I meet them in person, I can’t say a word.”
“As an ISTP, I spend all day thinking about them, so much so that I can’t do what I need to do. I look at them intensely, but when I’m caught, I look away immediately. I’m very curious about what they like and what they do. I try hard to look good in front of them. I try to match everything from one to ten to their ideal type. I find everything they do adorable. I don’t usually contact others first, but I do contact them first. I try to look good but end up being very clumsy. I try desperately to talk and meet them more. I often talk about them to other people. I think they are very very cute…”
“From my perspective as an ISTP, when I start to have a crush, I deny it at first. ‘I like them? Absolutely not ㅋㅋ’ I always find myself looking at them unconsciously. While I ignore other people’s messages, I check their messages very quickly. ISTPs checking messages quickly? You should doubt if they have a crush on someone. I pretend not to like them a lot… It might be because I really have no interest, but even if I like them, I just don’t want to reveal my feelings. ISTPs find it hard to like someone, but once they do, they like them for a very long time. They are serious in relationships. They like comfortable and friendly relationships, and they hate burdensome things. Although they grumble when they don’t like something, they try their best to fulfill requests. It doesn’t matter to them if someone likes them, it only matters if they are interested in that person. If you want to look good to an ISTP, you need to make a good first impression… They hate push-pull games. If someone pushes them away? Then they’ll be pushed away to the ends of the earth. If they think the other person is not interested in them, they’ll struggle by themselves and gradually give up their feelings. Usually, they are indifferent and quiet, but when they like someone, they become proactive. They are like question mark killers. They ask everything to have more conversations with that person.”
“Speaking of ISTP characteristics, first of all, they have to like someone. If they like someone, they become interested in what they do and where they are. Although contacting others is really bothersome, they endlessly wait for the person they like to contact them. If they respond late, I play hard to get. In front of the person they like, they strangely get nervous for no reason. It’s not because they dislike them, it’s because they are too shy because they like them so much. They hang around to be noticed by that person. They realize that they are very proactive which they didn’t know before.”
“ISTP Crush 1. I interpret even insignificant things as meaningful when I listen to their favorite music. 2. I find a topic to start a conversation. 3. I look back at previous conversations and subtly check who initiated more conversations. If my crush initiated more, I feel happy.. 4. I try to subtly show that I like them without getting caught by friends or others around me (really subtly). 5. I check their profile picture. 6. I pretend not to see them while naturally looking around when our eyes meet because I don’t want to make it too obvious that I like them. 7. I hang around their area to casually run into them. 8. I imitate my crush. 9. I behave differently to my crush, I’m not sure how exactly. I haven’t really been in one-sided love so I’m not sure, but I think I might fall in love quickly. But I haven’t been in long-term one-sided love either, so I’m not really sure.”
“ISTP 1. I constantly check their Instagram. 2. I look up everything related to them (I know everything). 3. I contact them constantly. I feel upset when they reply late but I read their reply immediately once it comes. 4. I pretend not to like them and act disinterested. 5. If I like them a lot, I drop little hints. 6. I always go to where they are and watch them. 7. I think about them at some point every day. 8. They frequently appear in my dreams. 9. Even if I don’t like the song they like, I add it to my playlist. 10. I keep asking questions about things I could solve myself. 11. I create opportunities to talk to them every day. 12. I watch tarot readings about love on YouTube.”
“ESTP~ISTP – I never let them know I like them, I can’t even look them in the eyes. I deliberately don’t look at them even when I want to, fearing that they might notice I like them. – I’m very shy when talking. However, I can talk very well to people I’m not interested in, even pretending to be close friends. – I really can’t make eye contact, deliberately looking elsewhere. – If I think they don’t like me, I give up on them in my heart. – I’m confused about whether I really like them. – If they show interest in me but I don’t like them, I’m like ‘so what?’ – I don’t often contact them because it’s bothersome.”
“ISTP-T (My behavior when it seems that the other person is not interested in me) – I keep looking at them. – I think they are cute when I see them. – When it seems that they don’t like me or don’t show interest in me, I don’t show my feelings (I’ve been told I’m like an assassin). – I try to talk to them, and I remember everything they said. – I actively respond to what they say. – If I happen to sit with them, I freak out internally. But outwardly, I keep a poker face. – And even if I try to give up on my crush, I feel a bit regretful. – When someone talks about them, it might seem like I’m not listening, but I am. +) These behaviors vary from person to person. Some act this way and some don’t.”
“ISTP: I would give them anything, even small things like chocolates or jelly.. I try to do everything together, even small things..!”
“ISTP (based on myself) – At first, I observe to see what kind of person they are. After observing, if I determine that they are worth having a crush on, I start to have a crush. – I try to show only my good side. – If I think they might have a little bit of affection for me, I text first, usually about school-related things (if they don’t seem to like me, I don’t). – If I confirm that the feeling is mutual, then I start to show my feelings.”
“Features of an ISTP’s unrequited love, as I see it, being an ISTP myself: Even if we only communicate once a week, I would confess directly. When that person is in the same space as me, I am always looking at them… Even though I pretend not to care outwardly, the first thing that comes to my mind when buying something or when buying gifts for friends, is that I need to buy something for the person I like. I pretend not to care but subtly take care of everything (a characteristic of ISTP). Even though I think empathy is bothersome, I show empathy. Once I like someone, it lasts at least six months. ISTP’s ideal type…? I don’t need a good-looking or wealthy person, as long as their personality appeals to me. Even if others like me, if I don’t feel attracted to them, I don’t show any interest at all.”
“Being an ISTP, I only look at my own MBTI, not curious about others.”
“ISTP characteristics, I don’t comment much. Really, there are fewer characteristics mentioned compared to other MBTIs.”
“As an ISTP, I observe the other person like I’m a fan. I make them my own and observe them for a lifetime without showing any hints, and if I feel like this person really suits my style and doesn’t do anything displeasing, I make my move as naturally and relentlessly as a bulldozer. However, sometimes I also lose interest on my own.”
“ISTP keeps eyes fixed on the person, says pointless things, checks messages instantly, makes advances frequently, takes very good care of themselves, lingers around them, finds out what they like and gives it to them.”
“As an ISTP, I absolutely try not to show that I have a crush (although internally, I hope they realize it…) I check messages from that person instantly. I try not to initiate contact, but can’t last more than 3 days. I remember almost everything about the person I have a crush on. My gaze is always directed towards the person I like. When having a conversation with a friend, the topic is almost always about them. I pretend to dislike them but take care of them more than others. Even though I’m a T type, I am very empathetic. I keep telling myself that I should give up, but I can’t. Once I like someone, it lasts at least a year. ISTP’s ideal type – it just has to be someone I like. No matter how much an uninteresting person pushes themselves onto me, if I’m not interested in them, it’s over.”
“ISTP analyzes why I came to like that person, whether that person likes me, what it would be like if we meet, and if I think it’s about time, I show clear signs that I like them and go all in.”
“ISTP subtly pushes forward (only the beginning is hard), I usually find contacting tiresome, but if I like them, I take the initiative to make contact and try to keep it going. I keep looking at them, but I look away when they notice. I think all their actions are cute. I hang around them to encounter them once more. I take very good care of myself. If they do something, I would say to my friend something like, ‘Isn’t it cool that they do this and that?’ I usually become boring when I contact them. I ask pointless questions frequently. No matter how good-looking and pretty they are, my first thought when I see them is ‘they’re cute’. I consciously look at them but can’t make eye contact well.”
“ISTP-A (Female) 1. I usually don’t smile and have a poker face, but when our eyes meet, I give a slight smile and then turn my head away (trying to act cool). 2. I never act as if I like them. 3. I establish a strong concept (like being sexy, haughty, or easygoing?). 4. Even though I don’t usually dress up, I do it naturally if they’re around. 5. I pretend not to pay attention to their actions, but I do give attention to and interpret all their actions. 6. I usually lie on my bed, do things on my phone without thinking about anything, but then I start thinking about them. 7. Normally, my energy and stamina are poor, and I lack vigor in general, but when they talk to me, smile at me, or say something nice to me, my energy level rises to about 40% from 0. 8. I try to learn about them and remember every little thing about them. 9. I become a little more affectionate. 10. I talk a lot to myself. 11. I really hate when my personal space and time are interrupted, but I not only forgive them, I even wish they would interrupt me. Every ISTP in the world is different, but if I have to generalize, I don’t know about men, but if you like a female ISTP and during a conversation with her, her reaction is not overly positive but not dry either, she responds, she keeps the conversation going, she doesn’t try to break the flow of the conversation, then she might be half interested. On top of that, if she responds promptly without showing annoyance when you text her for no reason, there’s a possibility. Ok? I’m cheering for you. It’s tough (this is from my personal experience).”
“Currently, as an ISTP who is in the middle of a crush, if it seems like there will be any connection with them, I immediately run simulations on how to naturally approach and take care of them, and how to enter their line of sight. I do all the actions and speak to them with tension, worrying about making a verbal mistake. But when I actually face them, I freeze (I don’t show it…I’m really good at acting…) and I can’t do well. Always after it’s over, better approaches and actions come to mind. I never regretted my actions before, but a crush makes me regret my actions. All my attention goes to them. So I react immediately to their actions (ex: if they’re hurting their hand -> subtly prepare bandages and medicine…) For the development of the relationship, I end up saying things that I don’t even mean. I change to F only for them. Their notifications are the only ones that beat YouTube notifications… Reactions increase a bit (but still sparse). I think about them often in my daily life (I wonder what they’re doing…) I keep them in my sight. I like to draw, and I constantly look at them while drawing the scenery behind them (In fact, they draw often…but strangely, I can draw others well but they are…too hard to draw. I just can’t draw them…haha) I act politely, kindly, and carefully only towards them. Almost always smiling when I see them (Usually, my default expression is 😐). I usually don’t leave comments and don’t write birthday letters, but I end up doing all the things I didn’t do… In fact, there were many people who I liked to some degree before, but it’s the first time I can’t easily give up and keep liking them like I do now…”
“ISTP and flirting – I can’t show to others that I like them – If ISTP doesn’t ignore or delay reading a message, that means they’re interested (they’re always looking at their phone so if the reply is slow, there’s a high chance they’re doing it on purpose) – They hate awkwardness, and they like when someone leads the conversation – If you play hard to get, they will back off forever, it’s over – They like it when someone initiates the conversation and makes eye contact with them (But they avoid it) Actually, it seems easy to woo them.”
“ISTP – They try hard not to show that they’re caring – Can’t maintain eye contact for more than 2 seconds – Denies the fact that they like someone – Will. Never. Confess.”
“ISTP doesn’t find it a waste to spend money on the person they like. When they have a crush, it tends to last a long time. They’re quick to notice things but pretend not to. Their pride can be high but they bend in front of the person they love. My subjective thought is there’s no one as sincere as an ISTP.”
“As an ‘ISTP’, my crush habits are – I deliberately keep looking at them – Rather than feeling fluttered, I prefer comfortable relationships, so I try to get close to them as friends first – I try to show off my strengths (While pretending not to care about their gaze) – I pretend not to care about stories related to them (While actually caring a lot and trying to remember everything) – I laugh at their jokes (Even if they’re not funny) – If I feel that they don’t like me, I never show that I like them (But if I fall deeply, I can’t let go of the lingering feelings) Ideal Type – Definitely someone who has charm..”
ISTP 1. “I can easily talk and laugh with friends I don’t like, but when I talk with someone I like, it becomes very awkward and uncomfortable.” 2. “I overanalyze things and suspect that this friend likes me even over trivial matters, then I dismiss it and fall into delusion.” 3. “I pretend not to like the person. When friends ask if I like someone, I deny it vehemently and hide it even from them.” 4. “I try to show my unique strengths.” 5. “I act indifferently when friends I don’t like try to chat and play around with me, but with someone I like, I never act indifferent, and even though I feel awkward, I accept their jokes well.” 6. “When I talk about friends or the opposite sex, it’s mostly about the person I like.” 7. “Even though I tell myself to give up, when that friend does something exciting, my feelings grow again… I’m struggling to give up and keep thinking about my crush… it’s driving me crazy.”
“Things almost worked out between me (an ISTP) and a ‘J’ around January, but they didn’t. We’re still friends. But I keep teasing her when she’s around, and lately, I’m even replying to her messages somewhat quickly. But I don’t have feelings for her, right?”
“As an ISTP…? Even if someone shows interest, I usually dismiss it thinking, ‘Oh, is that so? No, they probably just owe me and are trying to repay.’ But when I suddenly receive a confession, I feel dumbfounded. I can’t reject them easily and I mumble. If I like the person, I accept and say, ‘Okay, let’s date.’ But if I want to reject the person, I delay it by asking for some time to think, and then I end up rejecting them.”
“I’m an ISTP, and here are my subjective thoughts. First impressions matter. I observe someone for a long time. I try not to show my feelings. I don’t fall for people often, but when I do, I fall deep. I ponder over each word before speaking, but to the other person, I may sound very blunt.”
“As an ISTP, I don’t admit my feelings. I check messages promptly. The other person’s interest becomes my interest. I laugh a lot. I research the person I like.”
“ISTP (from my perspective) – I check messages frequently and promptly (only for the person I like) – Normally, I’m not empathetic, but I become empathetic when it comes to the person I like – Honestly, nothing else comes to mind right now. Checking messages promptly is probably the biggest indicator of my affection.”
“As an ISTP, I don’t show it. Hence, all my potential relationships fly away because I’m too passive… I’ll accept all the flirting but I won’t initiate. I never refuse if the other person suggests doing something, but I never suggest anything myself… Liking someone isn’t common for me, so I don’t know how to show it. I’m not sure to what extent I should show it either…”
“As an ISTP, I hover around them. I unconsciously stare at them a lot. But because I don’t show obvious signs, they might think I’m not interested. I want to get close to them, but from my perspective as an ISTP who isn’t very sociable, it seems difficult. Once I fall for someone, it lasts for a long time. Even though I act indifferent, I try to remember everything about the other person. I can’t confess my feelings.”
“As an ISTP, when I have a crush, I just focus on the other person (this is more than half of it). I usually turn off all notifications, but I leave them on for my crush. I don’t like phone calls, but I like them with my crush. Sometimes, I play little honest pranks, but when they do the same, I malfunction. I seem to be attentive to the smallest things. I always want to give them something. Whatever they do, I find it adorable. But I can never tell them, I can’t confess, and while I want to date, I resist doing so (not with bad intentions).”
“As an ISTP, 1. I keep a poker face, but my ears turn completely red. 2. I try to act naturally, but I come off as awkward (then I regret it at home, kicking my blanket). 3. I don’t initiate contact (fearing it might burden them). 4. I’m really self-centered. 5. I try my best not to show it (I don’t tell my friends, either). 6. I like them for a really long time (usually more than a year).”
“I am an ISTP, but I can’t do anything. I get excited over meaningless things. I just look at them from afar.”
“As an ISTP, I really care about looks and then personality. If the other person pushes me away too much, I just give up. Even if I realize too late that it was push-pull, I still give up..”
“ISTP, I don’t openly show my feelings, but I subtly enjoy it when others tease me about it… and I don’t deny it… Also, I never make the first move.”
“I’m an ISTP but seem to have traits from almost all IxxP types – I’m not good at starting conversations or sending the first message (It feels awkward to me). – If someone else starts a conversation, I try to keep it going for as long as possible. – I try to highlight my physical attractiveness. – I analyze every action of the other person, wondering if it’s a sign of attraction or just politeness. – If the other person isn’t assertive enough, or if I’m not certain about my feelings, it usually ends up going nowhere…”
“This is how an ISTP woman behaves… (purely personal) During class, I can’t help but keep looking at them, but I avoid eye contact when our eyes meet. I find excuses to contact them, but I can’t ask for their phone number. I want to be around them. I feel upset if I can’t hang out with them during break time because they’re sleeping. I want to go to school because of them. I play a lot of pranks and absolutely love it when people try to pair us together, even though I pretend to hate it. I love it when they give me something tasty during lunch. If they lend me their PE uniform when I’m cold, it’s super exciting. I want to mimic every action they take. If we happen to use the same items or have something in common, I feel thrilled. How to win an ISTP woman’s heart (just what I like): You have to become good friends. If you give me something to eat or a snack, I love it. If you come when I’m alone, it’s super exciting. If you remember and mention a light conversation we had, it’s great. If you are my ideal type, it’s great, but if you are charming, that’s also great. If you can do something that I can’t do and explain it well, it’s thrilling. You have to maintain frequent eye contact. If you play a lot of pranks, I like it.”
“ISTP (crushing + dating) – I look at charm, not just faces – I hate sickly sweet love like from romcoms – I consider if they are beneficial to my life – I act like I’m not interested, but I’m always around them – My expression might be a bit stiff, but I love them enough to pull an all-nighter”
“When an ISTP’s #crush gets serious (when I muster up the courage) – Sending the first message (I don’t usually initiate because I know it can be bothersome, but if I do, it’s a sign of strong interest) – Hanging around (Even if it’s not important, I just want to see them) – While I do stare at them a lot when I like them, when we are one-on-one, I hardly look at them and start to fiddle with things. I might seem disinterested to the point where they might think I don’t want to converse… – I create a connection even when there is none (Even if we’re in different classes or departments, I’ll find some excuse to contact them) – I stop being calculative (ISTPs hate taking losses, but I’m willing to give anything to my crush. Not stingy at all. I even give them small candies (I become surprisingly cute and shy)) I’ll also list when I’m not interested – If an ISTP can’t continue the conversation in chat, it might be a sign of disinterest (I think this is efficient because it prevents giving false hope) – I don’t look at them – I never initiate conversations (unless necessary)”
“ISTP unrequited love (personal) – When the other person is around, I pretend not to care while I’m actually very concerned – I feel breathless when our eyes meet – I watch from afar – On the outside, it seems I have no emotions, but inside, my heart is in turmoil – Even if the other person’s jokes are not funny, I laugh – I can think all day about the smallest things – Even when the other person is far away, I glance at them even when I’m with friends – Once an ISTP falls for someone, they keep liking them and suffer alone – I hate what others know – I try to find at least one thing in common – I like them a lot, but I don’t show it, so often the other person doesn’t know – When an ISTP has a crush, they don’t act like an ISTP.. – I try to become the other person’s ideal type – I take good care of myself – My friends either fall in love at first sight or keep liking one person like an ISTP, but I have more of the latter kind of friends, so I only talk about my crush with them – To look good in front of that person, I even change my style to their ideal type, but I’m not sure if it’s just me. ISTPs don’t fall in love often. I’ve only done it twice so far.. If there’s a chance, I try to get closer little by little, but if there’s no chance at all, I don’t even start, which seems to be an ISTP characteristic.😀”
“When I, an ISTP, have a crush! 1. I look at them all the time 2. I immediately look away when our eyes meet 3. If my crush teases me, I get serious (I become stone-faced) 4. I talk a lot about nonsense 5. I try my best to laugh, but my laugh looks like this ——> ^_^ 6. I give them a lot of information Here are some tips you need to know if you have a crush on an ISTP: 1. Don’t whine 2. They like polite people 3. If your energy level is too high, it drains them fast, so observe the ISTP’s actions and match their energy level 4. If your MBTI is ‘J’, you might not match well with an ISTP. ISTPs are free spirits and sloth-like humans who could live in bed 24 hours, so planning?? Planning???!!? Nope, can’t do it, no matter what.”
“Things I did for you, who I liked as an ISTP 1. I looked at you a lot 2. My face turned pale when I ran into you 3. So, I either ran away or pretended I didn’t see you 4. I didn’t know what to say 5. I thought about you all day 6. I wanted to send you a message 7. I pondered for a long time whether to send it or not 8. The regret of not sending it seems bigger than the regret of sending it 9. When I stand in front of you, I can’t think of anything and my hands tremble, I can’t do anything 10. I wanted to see you so I tried to run into you on purpose (ex. I take the long way or adjust my time to run into you) 11. I think everything you do is cute 12. Once I like you, I really like you 13. The more you’re nice to me/the more you like me, the harder it is to forget you…”
“ISTP unrequited love (personal) – If the other person is next to me, I pretend not to care while I’m actually very concerned – It feels like my breath stops when our eyes meet – I observe them from a distance – It seems like I have no emotions on the outside, but inside my heart is fluttering – I laugh well at their jokes even if I don’t find them funny – I think about even the smallest things all day – Even when the other person is far away, I steal glances at them even when I’m with my friends – Once ISTPs are attracted to someone, they continue to like them and suffer alone – They dislike what others know – They try to create even a single common point – They like them a lot, but they don’t show it, so often the other person doesn’t know – Once ISTPs have a crush, they don’t seem like ISTPs anymore.. – They try to become the ideal type of the other person – They take good care of themselves – There’s no middle ground for their friends; either they fall in love at first sight or they’re like ISTPs who continue to like just one person, but there are more of the latter friends, so they only talk about unrequited love with those friends – They try to look good to the other person, even giving up their own fashion style and trying to match the fashion style of the other person’s ideal type. I’m not sure if I’m the only one who does this, but ISTPs don’t have many instances of unrequited love. I’ve only done it twice so far.. If there’s a possibility, they approach little by little, and if there’s absolutely no chance, they don’t even start, which seems to be an ISTP characteristic😀”
“When I, an ISTP, have a crush! 1. I keep looking at them 2. When our eyes meet, I quickly turn away 3. If my crush teases me, I become rather serious (I become stony-faced) 4. I often make unnecessary comments 5. I try my best to laugh, but this is what my laughter looks like ——-> ^_^ 6. I provide various information. If you have a crush on an ISTP, here are some honey tips you need to know 1. Don’t whine 2. They like courteous people 3. If the tension is too high, they get tired quickly, so watch the ISTP’s behavior and match their level of tension 4. If the last letter of their MBTI is ‘J’, it may not go well with ISTP. ISTPs are free spirits and sloth-like humans who could live in bed 24 hours a day, so they can’t stick to plans.”
“The actions I, an ISTP, took towards you, whom I liked 1. I stared at you a lot 2. When we met, my face turned pale 3. So I either ran away or pretended not to see 4. I didn’t know what to say 5. I thought about you all day 6. I wanted to send you a message 7. I deliberated for a long time whether to send it or not 8. I think the regret of not sending a message is bigger than the regret of sending one 9. When I’m in front of you, I can’t think of anything and my hands tremble, I can’t do anything 10. I wanted to see you so I tried to run into you on purpose (ex. I went out of my way or adjusted my timing to run into you) 11. I think you’re cute. Everything you do is cute.”
“I think about the things they say and wonder if they have feelings for me. I look for places that they would like to go. I study their thoughts in detail. I think about the places we’ve been and the conversations we’ve had. I imagine our future together.”
“I’m secretly a very open person, but I pretend to be the same as everyone else. I flirt a lot, but if I like someone who is popular, I hide my feelings. I either flirt a lot or just continue to be friends with them. If they do something to make me lose interest, I just stop eating.”
“I’m an ISTP. I would summarize my behavior towards someone I like as being generous with money and attention. I remember the small things they like and have happened in the past, and I pretend to care about them later. I’m embarrassed to be generous with my affection and attention, so I pretend to be generous while I’m doing it.”
“First, I have to be physically attracted to them. Second, I don’t want to admit that I like them because it feels like a blow to my ego, but once I do, I can’t help but keep liking them. Third, if I’m not sure if they’re interested in me, I won’t show any sign of it. Fourth, even if I’m pretending not to be interested, I’m always paying attention to them.”
“I’m just an idiot. I can’t take any action until I’m sure of it. Once I’m sure, I’m very active, but before that, I can’t even speak to them or look at them. It’s like there’s a barrier around them. If they’re not interested in me, I try to talk to them and approach them, but if they are interested, I ruin all my efforts. I’m just so stupid. I’m so stupid.”
“If you want to seduce an ISTP, you need to gradually and naturally become a part of their life. They are very wary of strangers, so if you suddenly show up or behave differently than usual, they will be very suspicious.”
“INTP and ISTP: I have so many questions, but I can’t ask them. I wish they would contact me, but if they don’t, I’ll just do it. I can have a good conversation, but I always say something strange that ruins the mood. I imagine myself dating them. I don’t show any sign of it, but I’m eager to confess as soon as possible. If they don’t contact me first, I get sad and think about giving up. I think about what I want to say for a long time before finally sending it with the encouragement of my friends. I brag to my friends about liking them. I listen to a lot of advice from my friends. (But I keep failing.) I’m frustrated with myself. I always show it with my profile picture or profile music. I can’t speak when I actually meet them.”
“I think about that person all day long, so I can’t do my work. I stare at them, but if they notice, I look away immediately. I’m very curious about what they like and what they do. I try very hard to look good in front of them. I try to fit into their ideal type, from head to toe. I think everything they do is cute. I don’t contact other people first, but I contact them first. I try to be good-looking, but I keep messing up. I try to talk to them more and meet them more. I talk about them to other people without realizing it. I think they’re so cute.”
“I just keep looking at them. I don’t even talk to them. I just keep looking at them.”
“I try to show off my strengths. Of course, I pretend not to care about the gaze or anything.”
“I don’t really like cute things, but I sometimes act cute, play tricks, and deliberately hold hands in secret to attract attention.”
“I remember everything from my crush’s likes and dislikes to their birthday and interests, from useless to useful, in a notebook. I still remember my ex-boyfriend’s interests and likes. Of course, I pretend to listen with one ear and let it go, and I answer vaguely like “Uh-huh~ Uh-huh~”. This is my way of crushing.”
