Romantic Relationships

People with the ISFP personality type (Adventurers) can be quite mysterious and difficult to get to know. While very emotional individuals, they guard this sensitive core carefully, preferring to listen than to express. They focus instead on their partner, with little interest in dictating the mood of a situation with their own feelings. While this can sometimes be frustrating, if they are accepted for who they are, ISFPs prove to be warm, enthusiastic partners.

Things are unlikely to ever grow stale – even the longest-term partner can be surprised by random acts of love and devotion that ISFPs never grow tired of giving.
ISFP (Adventurer) relationships

As their relationships blossom, their partners come to find vibrancy and spontaneity to be par for the course. This personality type may not be a great long-term planner, preferring to let their partner take the lead when it comes to logic and strategy, but they almost never run out of things to do in the present. Caring and loyal, ISFPs love finding ways to surprise their partner in fun little ways.

There’s also a sense of practicality to their unpredictability – if anyone is going to cancel a planned trip to stay home with a partner who suddenly got the flu as a gesture of affection, it is ISFPs. Spending time with their partner is something that these personalities really enjoy, and they want their partner to know that they are cared for and special.

A Tender Heart

For ISFP personalities, it’s important for their partner to make it clear that their love and attention is valued. They are very unlikely to ask for a direct thank you, but it can really hurt their feelings if they don’t feel seen and appreciated. Such expressions don’t have to be verbal – ISFPs believe in actions more than words – but it’s crucial that they know their feelings are shared. On the other side of the spectrum, there are few types more vulnerable to criticism and conflict, and it’s necessary to provide a certain level of emotional support.

If they do feel appreciated, they are more than happy to reciprocate in any way they know how. People with the ISFP personality type are very sensual. They may be shy in public, but alone with a partner they trust, the masks come off – few people get to see this side, and it’s always a pleasant surprise.

ISFPs truly appreciate depth and meaningful connections. Consequently, as they grow to know their partner better and better, their level of attraction tends to intensify quite dramatically.

Love from the Soul

Feelings and emotions underpin every aspect of their relationships, alongside not just a tendency toward, but a need for, fresh possibilities. ISFP personalities are not to be forced into anything, and rushing long-term commitments is a sure way to scare them off. If they can’t feel excited wondering, “What’s next?” every morning, they may find themselves wondering, “What’s the point?”

Still, developing some skill with planning can be a healthy area of growth for people with the ISFP personality type. Learning to be a little more comfortable with voicing their feelings and communicating more clearly is something their partner can also help with.
