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.

Caretakers are devoted, nurturing partners who create a warm and secure home. They want a stable, committed relationship with someone who appreciates their care and returns it. They are often happiest building traditions and a shared life together. They show it in hundreds of small ways, from a packed lunch to a reminder about the dentist, and they deeply notice when the care is returned.
