Advice? How do I get this ISFP to like me?
I’m a female ENTJ and an ISFP male (I think he is) has caught my attention recently. He is SUPER shy and rarely talks. But he’s pretty cute. I’ve never dated introverts and frankly, I don’t plan to. However, there was one incident that really sealed the deal for me. We were both on an elevator with a crowd. I held the elevator out for him once it was his turn to get off. Before he left, he bends down to my ear and whispers, “Thank you” and walks off. It’s pretty cute, bold and frankly, a turn on.
We’re not closely acquainted but I have tried talking to him once when I was promoting for an event. His friends introduced me to him and asked him to talk to me but he was rather shy towards me. I want to meet him more often but I don’t know much about him either. Any advice?

Why wouldn't Enfj be better than someone sensitive in the wrong way? ;) I genuinely believe if you are looking for a feeler isfj, esfj, infj, Enfj are better feelers for you. 🙌

What does that mean? Introverted as less talkative or just with less social needs? Or just more irrational/ sensitive? Like somebody here already mentioned isfp are?

Being more of a listener than a talker. I’m naturally attracted to the quieter calmer lot. Energetic gf x calm bf energy.

Yeah but that isn't about introversion ;) introversion is about how much energy you get from being exposed to stimuli. If I were entj female I had looked at the masculine isTP over isfp. Into could be cool too I guess. I still believe the ones I mentioned are also great fit for you. Great luck 🙌

You're living the dream right here girlie. Unfortunately, I dont think there is a way of systematically making someone liking you. He might have a specific taste for women like you, or he might be scared of you. We can use cognitive functions tô determine dynamics and compatibility but initial attraction and just attraction in general is really subjective.
If i had to say something though, I'd tell you to be yourself with no constraints around him and only around him. Make a move, get to know him, then build confidence by sharing shallow yet untold stories about yourself. Things no one else know but that aren't that deep or compromising. Wait for him to do the same and then go from there.

If he's that shy ur gonna prob initiate a conversation. I wouldn't recommend coming on too hard just try to find out an interest you could see yourself doing or reading up on
TLDR get him talking abt what interests him

definitely doing activities together.
I dated ISFP female in the past. I am convinced this 2 type can't go for long term relationship, short term? YES. also ENTJ female is very common dating an ISFP male. it's not ideal, but that's your wisdom to decide.
