ENTP: I take that back, you probably would. 

ENTP: *Talks with a person for 3257 hours straight*

ENTP, later: *Disappears for 2572 years*

Person: *confused* why?

When an ENTP likes you in general:

Seek contact. Always looking for something exciting, something new, it’s easy for ENTP to forget something along the way, and sometimes it’s people they leave behind unconciously. A good way to tell an ENTP likes you is seeing if they ask you to tag along, like inviting you to their world. A problem with ENTPs is that they are distant even if they don’t look like it, because despite being able to befriend a lot of people, they are slow to make deep connections. What my two ENTP friends do when they like you is initiating get-togethers, the more comfortable they are with you, the less people they ask to come when hanging out, until it’s the both of you alone.

Deep conversations. And by this I mean the kind of conversations in which they share their honest opinions about a topic. ENTPs like to debate and argue, but it’s not often that they share what they truly think, despite how opinionated they might look like. If they say something like “In my opinion”, “I believe” or “What I think”, implying not only facts, but also themselves, they are revealing something more personal and it’s a sign they trust you.

Share their feelings. Similar to above, but in a more direct way. If they speak about how they are feeling, tell you they are down, or how a certain thing made them feel (This doesn’t happen often, because or their Fe, so it’s a major indicator of trust), they understand you are a person they can rely on.

Touch. They like to feel the people they like close. Every ENTP I have met (especially female ENTPs, but male ENTPs too), unconciously got closer to friends, for example grabbing their arm or touching their shoulder while they were speaking. They also do it conciously, for example my ENTP friend would touch her friend’s face or randomly poke her.

When they like you romantically:

Sudden closeness. If the ENTP has decided they like you (and it might take some time because they are not the type to sit and ponder their feelings), they will waste no time and suddenly be all over you, trying to get your attention, inviting you to spend time with them, coming up with new activities for the both of you to do... Everything to get closer to you as fast as possible.

Listen. They listen to what you have to say like it’s the most interesting thing they could focus their attention on. They are probably trying to see if there is something more, something interesting for them in the way you think, something that draws them. This also means they will keep the conversation going as long as you keep interesting them, and show a big amount of enthusiasm. This also happens when they like you in general, but in this case it will be even more evident. Their eyes light up and they talk a lot and very fast in contrast to the nods and fake smiles they give to people they don’t like.

Eye contact. Important. They tend to look people they like in the eye-it’s their way of demonstrating their interest. They will also look at you a lot, especially when something happens. My ENTP friends said once that the facial expressions of a person are very important to her, so if you are for example laughing and they look at you for some moments, it’s a sign.

Gravitate towards you. As Extroverts, one of the best ways to tell if they like you is seeing if they choose you in a large group of people, for example in a room full of people (a party, a classroom). 

Serious attitude. As well as trying to get closer to you using their wit and humor, they will also be very attentive and helpful, more than what you would expect knowing they are ENTP. They will try to open up with you and share things they wouldn’t tell other people, and hope for you to do the same (But they must trust you a lot first).

ENTJ: I hate my life.

ENTP: I hate it too.

ENTJ: Your life?

I feel like I’m perpetuating the ENxP stereotype where we all have raging ADHD. But my ADD fuels my Ne function so much, it’s ridiculous. I’m so sorry MBTI folk, I am a walking stereotype. Cast me away.
