Who are ENFP?
According to Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), ENFP stands for Extraversion E, Intuition N, Feeling F, and Perception P. They are among the sixteen personality types who contribute about 5% to 7% of the population. ENFPs are free-spirited people who enjoy spreading happiness and make people smile. Their presence can be easily felt in the crowd as they are also known for being the life of the party. They are very outgoing, cheerful, and possess child-like energy. ENFP’s friendly attitude is often misconstrued as flirting, but when an ENFP is actually flirting, be prepared to be wooed as you have never been wooed before.
How ENFP approach love and dating?
When it comes to relationships, love, and affection, ENFPs are very broad-minded. They’re willing to explore and experiment with all kinds of ideas that keep popping every second out of their mind. They like to express those ideas and feelings to their loved ones. ENFP love it when their loved one listens to them and gives them undivided attention. They hate being criticized. Initially, during their honeymoon phase, ENFP tries to do everything that could please and let their partner know that they’re giving their best efforts.
Their Internal Feeling (Fi) and Extroverted Intuition (Ne) tells them if the person is right for them or not. ENFP feel first; think later. Their decision to fall in love with someone is based on their feeling. They don’t see the relationship’s practical aspects, such as career or distance, when falling in love. Fi or the internal feeling of ENFP is very much self-focused. How the person makes them feel is the most important thing in their decision-making process.

As a husband (or wife), ENFP tends to be very supportive and give their 100% marriage. They see marriage as a lifelong commitment. As an ENFP husband, Jacob would get up early in the morning and prepare breakfast consisting of multigrain toast, an egg omelet, and a black coffee. Exactly the kind of breakfast Kasandra would like to have. Ensuring the tray in hand, he would kiss subtly on her cheeks and wake her up.

ENFPs think a lot about developing an original plan to create a memorable surprise for their loved ones. When Kasandra returns home in the evening, Jacob tells her to get ready for the surprise. While she is in the shower and getting dressed-up, Jacob would improvise his surprise plan.
When Kasandra would come out looking for Jacob, she would find a note on a cupboard that reads, “you eat me when you feel hot, where will I be found.” She would call Jacob, but he won’t answer.
Kasandra would now know that she must solve the puzzle. She would go to the refrigerator and open it; there, she would find another hint on the ice-cream box, which would read, “You love watching NETFLIX on me.”
Kasandra would go to the living room, wearing her high heels. Near the Television set her, the last hint reads, “I kissed you here for the first time, where am I.”
This would be an easy question for Kasandra, and she would go to the terrace. Jacob would be standing on the terrace with a home-made candlelight dinner at the same place where they first kissed. Kasandra would get wonderfully surprised, and she would kiss Jacob. He would pull the chair and comfort her. While having dinner, they will discuss their day.
