ENFJ in love
Mentors are devoted, affectionate partners who pour themselves into a relationship. The right person for them shares their values and wants to grow together, and they are happiest when the relationship feels like a team with a shared future. They tend to notice a partner’s needs before their own, so they need someone who will notice theirs in return.
