Like, "Where is a good place to eat around here?", or "What are the rates for renting a space in this building?", and "If I go out the front doors, can you let me back in?" (High security building, I guess...)
    She pretty much didn't respond to me any more than absolutely required, and even then, she looked at me like I was potentially trouble and almost certainly of bad moral character. I got pretty discouraged at her uniformly taciturn responses. I kind of figured that she thought I was a creep. Which I am, but a nice creep. Still, I persisted.
    Last week, I asked her if she worked full time and what her hours were? She said she did work full time from eight to four. I said, "Oh", in a disappointed way. "So you work through lunch." and walked away while she just stared at me.
    Today, I followed her into the break room and said "I'd like to take you out.."
    "Yes"
    "..to lunch."

    Introverted aggressors.

    Now to see if we can agree on a day, since she said her schedule was pretty full.

    I gave her my name and phone number and address, so she probably has my dental records and last few deposit amounts into my 401k by now. We shall see if that deters her.
    Wait, so do you have a date now or not?

    Damn, Medusa. I wish you'd settle on one name.

    Well, she said she wants to go out with me. But then she launched into a flurry of descriptions of her obligations and her schedule and the things she thought she might do, so I just gave her my contact info and she can think about it. She did say Thursday might work. But maybe not Thursday this week.

    You can see what is happening here. ESI's have weak Ni (intuition of possibilities), and make up for it by drawing on their history with a person. But she has no history with me, although she likes what she sees so far. But I could be an ax-murderer! Or she could fall in love with a high quality guy (which is how I overheard an IEI describing me yesterday). Or she could wind up dead in a ditch! Or on a great vacation! Or a spinster!

    "Yes No Yes No. What to do?" She wants but she fears. (I think this weak Ni is why so many ESI's are e6.) Helping to resolve this uncertainty is what LIE's can do for ESI's. We offer them just one assured, safe future, and then they can consider the flaws and decide to go with it or not. (And if not, we offer them another one. Lol.) But without that confident assurance, they are forever suspicious of your motives. Even with that, they are suspicious of your motives.

    Anyway, to answer your question, I don't really know if I have a date or not. She may look me up and decide No for one reason or another. I might have to meet her friends and family first. Who knows? I guess I'll find out in the next week or so.

    My identity keeps changing, Ip (or just not Ne PoLR) stuff.

    Hm I see. First of, intuition of possibilities is . ^^' So you are technically commenting on an ESI's weak Ne.

     
    A woman who claims she is "busy" is often just not interested enough, though if she does have a full schedule and give you a more specific time when she would be free, that means more likely she is both actually busy and interested. A woman who is interested will make it work, busy schedule or not.

    So yeah, I guess she might feel the need to google you first, especially if she doesn't know anything about you. I'd say a lot of women are hesitant to go on a date with a complete stranger. So it is a good idea to keep showing up at the place, so that she gets used to you. Though you wouldn't have to talk with her whenever you are there, sometimes you could just give her a wink or a friendly look when you are there haha, and then you leave and give her something to think about.

    Another somewhat sneaky thing you could do is bring a good (ideally happily taken) friend with you and introduce your friend to her, then excuse yourself and temporarily leave the two alone. Ideally your friend is going to tell her some things about you, positive things. Even better, she asks your friend out of curiosity and he answers positively. After a while you come back and leave with your friend again, saying you are busy.

    This kind of move both makes her know more about you, gives her the impression you are "safe" and not a creep, etc.


    Anyway, good luck.

    Identity does not change, only discovers additional layers and incorporates them. Different aspects, tunnels, perceptions, etc. Gotta love it.
    Important to note! People who share "indentical" socionics TIMs won't necessarily appear to be very similar, since they have have different backgrounds, experiences, capabilities, genetics, as well as different types in other typological systems (enneagram, instinctual variants, etc.) all of which also have a sway on compatibility and identification. Thus, Socionics type "identicals" won't necessarily be identical i.e. highly similar to each other, and not all people of "dual" types will seem interesting, attractive and appealing to each other.

    It went great. She's a wonderful person with her head screwed on right and she has good priorities with regard to family and friends. However, when I asked for another date, she said, "In six weeks."
    So her lack of interest, plus her instinct stack, which I'm guessing is so/sp/sx and is not that compatible with my sx/so/sp, means that we won't have a third date.

    Persistence is overrated.

    Note: ^This was almost a year ago. I've since bumped into her and she seems open to another lunch date, but I don't think I'm that desperate for company at this point.

    I'm not sure if I qualify as an introverted aggressor, but it's probably safe to say I'm an aggressive introvert.

    I sometimes stop in at a Kroger's grocery store after work to pick up a few things, so I'm still in my work clothes and I'm definitely overdressed for Krogers, but it is not efficient for me to go home, change, then go back just to wear a different costume.
    I typically go through the self-checkout lane, and the woman who attends the eight or twelve checkout stations is an LSI. She has had her eye on me for months. I typically just smile at her as I drop off my shopping basket.
    Yesterday, I was buying a bunch of celery which didn't have a price code on it. I was standing there with one hand holding the celery and the other hand hesitating over the checkout touch screen, when she suddenly appeared right next to me, stuck her arm between me and the screen, tapped in the code for celery, and turned to me with her face inches from mine and breathed out "I GOTCHA!"

    Lol. I thought, "This might have worked if I hadn't had two previous LSI GF's."



    What is gradually becoming clear to me is that Aggressors want to do the Choosing, while Victims do the Refusing. Which is not my preference as a Victim, because whoever does the choosing in games of choice has the better outcome, but it is hard to go against the natural course of things.

    @Adam Strange In my experience, ESIs seem to exhibit such spontaneous behaviour toward people to whom they're attracted. LSIs seem more reserved or timid when it comes to approaching those they desire; when they're not that attracted, approaching doesn't seem to be a problem at all - but close-up gestures don't seem all that LSI-like in either case. However, I wouldn't be able to distinguish between the two types by appearance alone.....

    In my limited experience, LSI's are much more aggressive than ESI's when they decide they want someone.

    When I first met the woman who would become my second LSI GF, I invited her out to dinner because I liked her personality and I absolutely did not intend for us to become close; I just wanted a platonic female friend that I could take to dinner sometimes. I even told her that I was looking for someone, but that someone was not her. Lol. She was offended at first, but then considered the honesty of that statement (because LSI's value the truth over anything else) and started making plans.
    When I dropped her off at the door to her place, I went to shake her hand, and she grabbed my hand and pulled me in for a kiss, which I did not expect.

    I have almost no experience with ESI's, but none of the one's I've known have been quite that aggressive. They seem to feel violated when chased and practically inert when around the object of their desire.

    ESI's don't even like to be complimented, IME. They seem to prefer to exist in a space where they are being used to advantage and the user expresses enthusiasm for the project, not for them. They don't like to be looked at closely.

    I met a female ESI e9, about 24, at the book checkout at the local library. She looked at my book choices and asked me if I'm interested in Psychology, and I told her that I have a degree in Astrophysics but I am interested in people.
    For example, She, I told her, had her personality shine out of her face, and I could tell that she was introverted, divided people into two categories; the Good and the Bad, (and her face started into a very suppressed smile and at the same time twisted into something very weird) and that she had strong artistic tendencies. She said, "You are right. And you're freaking me out." She thought she could hide forever. Nope. Not from a dual. She just wanted to work enough to get some money, and then spend the rest of her time figuring out how to get her hair into some acceptable style.
    I wrote down the words "Stratiyevskaya" and "ESI" for her to Google, and she enthusiastically said she'd definitely check that out.

    I could understand needing in some cases to initiate, but if you have to chase (ie repeatedly ask, put forth romantic intentions on several separate occasions), it seems an "aggressor" must have not been interested and thus see you as pestering? As for the inertia..I saw you marked my post constructive a long time ago, but you must have decided it should be overwritten based on your experiences with ESIs not pursuing you.

    ESI's do seek me out, but so far, they have all been male. It's easy to tell when a guy is making an excuse to talk to you about some work-related subject.
    I haven't seen many female ESI's doing the same thing, but I haven't been interacting with age-appropriate ESI's very much, so it's no surprise that they aren't stepping in front of me.

    *EDIT*
    Lol at the "pestering" comment. The magnificent EJ Arendee said that in order to seduce an ESI,
    "Hit on them once or twice, until they know that you exist, then ignore them. Never look at them again. They no longer exist. They'll do the rest of the work."

    No pestering allowed, obviously.

    in my ex's case he did the testing of the waters and then kissed me. from the outside it was sorta funny how the kiss was seemingly spontaneous and "aggressive" but not exactly unexpected.
    OK, @ashlesha, thanks for the reference.

    I still think this is constructive, because it is a good description where I can find no other good descriptions. For example, when the ESI-Se Artist last visited me this summer, she brushed up against my arm and I caught her smiling, as if she liked touching, but then she ran away.

    Maybe next time she'll be more explicit.

    Not an arendee fan (magnificent lol), but that's the best possible advice, I think. 1. Being appealing to start with, 2. Giving notice of possibility, 3. Rousing the,uh, aggressor instinct. Nice.

    I tease them for a while and ask them out if they respond well and don’t treat other guys the same way. If I sense even the slightest hint of disinterest in their tone or body language I’ll cut the conversation short and give up for good. Anything more than that is sexual harassment. I asked a classmate for her name once and just noped the fuck out of there because of her tone

    This is an intuitive and/or a common sense approach.

    “My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.”​ —C.G. Jung

    I don’t believe in women “playing hard to get”, unless you’re referring to obvious banter.

    I am not an aggressor so don't know. I don't even know what the person self types that I responded to. I tend to wait for someone to approach me first then I will know what to do if there is chemistry. I think it is harder for people who aren't naturally inclined to make the first move. I think for them it is best to use intuition or common sense when they are interested in someone. If it is meant to be then it will happen. Some people do like a lot of attention but have no interest in going out with any of them. It is more of a narcissistic fix.

    When a woman wants a man they tend to give signals. Same when they don't want them. I think that his post was fine. Many times it leads to harassment when a guy can't figure out the signals with common sense or intuition. My mom is LSI, she jumped up on a barstool, crossed her legs and told my ILI stepdad to buy her a drink, even though her friends said she would have no chance with him because they considered him a higher class than her. They were together after that until he died. She didn't even have to knock him over the head and drag him out of the place.

    Most people won't harass someone, they don't know, who shows absolutely no interest in them at all after after some initial pursuing, probably due to common sense or intuition. I have been stalked in an aggressive way by people who were not even socionics aggressors. It is annoying when you have no interest in them and/or have told them no several times.

    @Aylen, it is nice to hear that your LSI mother and ILI stepfather lasted so long. I have a neighbor who is a divorced male ILI, and he found a female LSI on a dating site. They've been together for a couple of years. I asked him why he chose her, and he said it was because she had money, but I suspect they have stayed together because she's an Aggressor and he's a Victim. Whenever she leaves his house after a weekend visit, he looks like a wrung-out dishrag.

    At first I was going to say the money thing was kind of fucked up but women do the same thing. Maybe there is love in there somewhere too. I have never been able to be with someone just for money.

    @Aylen, in describing him, I can pick and choose which parts to relate. There might be love in there somewhere, IDK. He's a pretty cold guy, in my estimation, and I have a lot of ILI friends, all of whom I like better.

    He started off on the wrong foot with me when he and I first met. I asked him how he could afford the house he was in on a professor's salary, and he said it wouldn't have been possible if he hadn't avoided giving his ex-wife any money at all from his divorce. He's English and I don't know how he managed that, but I stopped caring about him after he said that. He's an Economics professor, if that matters.

    Well it seems pretty obvious that he was replying to OP, implying that hes speaking for introverted aggressors. And ye i agree with ur post, but playing hard to get definitely is a thing, especially with se Ni types

    I always thought of approaching others as a learned skill but that is likely the frightened and fragile victim inside me speaking, because many people have made the initiation since grade school. I think for Ni creatives especially we feel this pressure from society (Fe/Te external awareness) to be an “aggressor” and it’s as if we can come close at times, but ultimately we slip up because it’s not our thing. For example, just tonight I went on a date and rather than making a move, I bluntly asked “Can we kiss??” instead. Luckily for me they were making all the first moves in the first place which is what triggered me to ask that because even that is bold in my eyes. I need to gauge how they are acting with me before I can have any confidence to do simple romantic gestures... Starting a conversation is the most I can do. I seem confident when really my anxiety is bubbling over. And here is where the introvert aggressors come into play - they may seem shy at first but they are confident and their actions speak louder than their words and I am always tuned into how people are acting rather than what is coming out of their mouth first. Creative Se is quite strategic and even more so than Se base in my opinion, as they use the function creatively; so they tend do a lot of more action than speaking.

    I’m pretty comfortable physically escalating once attraction’s been established, but I’m very hesitant to approach or ask girls out because I’m aware that I appeal to 1% of the female population, tops. I’m not interested in being the gay best friend or going around telling predictable corny jokes for scraps of attention like most dudes

    Not a bad thing actually but I'm surprised you said it, I'd expect more confidence and subtlety from Fe lead. From my weak ethics/intuition perspective, such question can be used when there's too much uncertainty in which direction the relationship develops, like a cheat when you're bad at reading hints and you don't know what the other person expects from you.

    then give them a reason to find you attractive.

    acting like you're above it all is gonna make you even less appealing

    I had brief interaction with an Se-Creative Creative DCNH, the last months.
    She basically listened to me doing Te-Ni stuff about gender roles and being angry at an IEE in a Ted Talks video who tried to pit men and women against each-other to gain cheap labor for the labor market while suggesting stuff that makes women (and men) unhappy in the long run.
    Afterwards, i did not really notice her because i was courting a terrible normalizing ESI So/Sp, she went out of her way to greet me in front of a our courses for about 4 times on different days, before the fourth time she turned around in our course and looked at me while searching in her backpack, i showed her non-verbally that i found her attractive and she seemed to appreciate that, i responded to her in a kind and affectionate tone because i really liked her friendliness.
    The next week we saw each-other she was alone in the room where our next lecture started and from having usual small-talk she immediately (and very smoothly) proceeded to sit next to me and talking about exams, unfortunately we got interrupted by an ILI/SLI friend.
    I guess it was planned and orchestrated by her and i told her that if she had any questions about the exams she can feel free to ask me, she answered that i can do the same.
    It runs really really smooth and she did not really seem aggressive but she was relentless in her pursuit so far.
    Our short interaction lets me hope for duality, she was very kind to me all the time, something i needed badly after being treated dismissively by the game playing ESI-N.
    She really seems to have liked my concept about gender equality and did treat me democratically as an equal the whole time.
    The SLI/ILI that also tried to block our interaction in a subtle way told me that she was bad news and did postpone a lot of her exams so far but i don't think she is bad news. I think the Te creative was just jealous because i saw cues of her being attracted to me before.

    I will hit her up next week and ask her if she wants to study together or some other lame excuse to meet her, maybe i will just skip the bullshit and let her know that i think that she is a friendly person and that i want to get to know her better. She also did not like my (mildly) sexually connotated joke (which really fit into the situation she created) which lets me hope further for her being an ESI;
    Since she is creative she does not have the usual coldness and unapproachability, i still think she could be one because LSIs would probably have reacted different to this kind of humor and she appreciated my Te in the discussion before, also she seems clearly democratic.
    I'm looking forward to it and the whole interaction with her went very smooth, natural and comfortable.
