ENTJ in love
Directors take relationships seriously and are drawn to people who are independent, capable, and honest. They are loyal and generous, and they treat a relationship as a real partnership with shared goals and a shared future. They respect a partner who stands up to them, and they often feel most loved by someone who sees the softer person behind the drive.

For Theorists, the ideal partner doubles as a best friend and thinking companion, someone they can talk with about anything at 2 a.m. They are slow to open up and may not be sure what they feel at first. Once they commit, they are loyal, accepting, and rarely try to change the person they are with. They value a calm, low-drama relationship where both people have room to be themselves.
