My (SEE) friend met this guy and I think he is ILI (he looks like one plus other clues). I am curious as to what dating behavior (or generally behavior of an ILI who might be interested in someone) one can expect from ILIs? Anyone?

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
Best description of functions:
http://socionicsstudy.blogspot.com/2...functions.html
The first thing that you encounter with another person is their role function, which Renin calls their zone of fears. The role function of the ILI is Si, this means that they will exhibit a strong degree of uneasiness about their own physical perfection. They will feel awkward or ugly, so complementing them will help, and do it often. However by complementing them you are addressing their zone of fears they will become both leery of the complement and very cocky because of it, only to crash suddenly if their are not given more positive feedback.
They will exhibit not merely the perception of their own ugliness, but the fear of Si is also the fear of giving pleasure. They will not desire to humor a person flirting with them. They will fear attachments, they will fear that they are making you dependent on them. They will fear that they cannot really be fun. They will fear that they cannot really be sexually satisfying. They will act like an inhibited "Mister Peabody" good old "Poindexter." Think Sponge Bob Squarepants. That is their self image. They cannot really be fun, you can't really like them. They do not feel comfortable giving pleasure. (After the relationship turns sexual, he will need lots of complements here about sex.)
Their mobilizing function will kick in, which is Minus style Fi. This is a sense of abhorrence. They have a strong desire to avoid the wrong people for them and so they will be dismissive of that person flirting with them, who they will assume is the wrong girl for them anyway.
The minus Fi acts however to fill them with pride. They will be likely to have a crush on a girl that is far away or too good for them. They will patiently wait for their true love to arrive or open up to them. You must find out who this distant more perfect girl is, and get rid of her.
They have a hard time with women in the here and now, they are more comfortable with hypothetical women. You have to get rid of the hypothetical woman. The ILI will treat the hypothetical woman as if she is real. The Ni dominance of the ILI causes him to treat all hypotheticals as real!
She must demonstrate her dominate Se, ILIs have no independent willpower and will cave to her pressure, but it might take a while. Se is suggestive to him. He will yield to her persistence.
They are sexual victims in erotic attitude. Be strong willed and forceful, yet be reassuring and complementing. He will cave, he has weak Se and it is "suggestive" which means he cannot resist it.

Assassination, inception and Stockholm syndrome in one post. Impressive!
Now you know where you've been going wrong all these years @lungs . You haven't applied sufficient ultraviolence.
ILIs.... Whattaaa mess amirite?
I've a friend married to an ILI; it started out as drunken one night stand but he called her the next day. they hung out few times- clicked. she stayed bit distance until he showed increasing interest and it was pretty straight forward: he asked her after two weeks of dating if she saw herself with husband and kids, she said yes and he agreed... And they started to regularly see each other. It was long distance in that he lived 2 hours away but she moved in with him after 6 months of dating bc her roommate dappled in cocaine a few times and drug deelers came to her house so she packed her bags and stayed at her grandmothers and in her car and his place for a few weeks until her classes ended and he insisted she move in. They were married this year. Totally cool couple- they bicker but it's light and amusing. No games.
The only problem I remember her having with him early on was that his ex was still weasingly around in his life and sent him inappropriate pics when she found out he had moved on and contacted him often- he also called my friend by his exes name a few times by accident and she stormed out each time. They go back and forth with who wears the pants in the relationship.. So overall pretty balanced. She says he understands and she feels like such a better person for being with him. And he adores her.
lmao asking after 2 weeks if she saw herself with husband and kids. Is it really that mormon-ish over there? :S
Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit
she said yes.apparently,it worked.how about easing up on that j thang of yoz.
Everybody wants to date ili. Yolo
I have never initiated unless it was clear the girl I liked was interested in me. This is very hard to tell and I would struggle with whether or not those behaviors are clear signs. If they would've just told me they liked me that would've solved everything. However, if a girl was too demonstrative and I didn't like her before that point, I often would try to avoid her. As a general rule, I must like her first, then see if she likes me in return.There was once a very pretty, very intelligent girl in high school that I doted on. I wanted to ask her out so bad, but instead asked her if she wanted to dissect a heart with me for extra credit. I was so nervous. I first like to see if they will do something of interest with me and then just see where it goes from there.

Hypothetical date with ILI:
Me: So blah blah blah ha ha blah blah blah.
ILI: *death stare*
Me: Yeah so blah blah blah blah.
ILI: *death stare*
Me: Is there a problem?
ILI: *looks confused* No?
Me: Oh ok. blah bl-
ILI: *death stare*
Me: Never mind then...
Absurd: You Ti dominants sure say things I don't really know where to put.

You know what? You're an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it's gonna keep making people nervous for the rest of your life. - Ole Golly from Harriet, the spy.
I am not sure I have consistent behavior since it depends on the person I'm dating. I'll straight up let someone know how I feel about them if asked or even if I'm feeling bold enough to in the moment, although I haven't always been that way. I'm sure someone else could objectively look at my patterns of behavior and figure out some through-line though. Generally, if I am responding or interacting at all, that is a good sign.
ILIs date?
Well, this guy is entirely hopeless. If you are interested in someone and just start out, you just don't go days without contact and don't call when you say you will call. You just don't. It might not be type-related (I sincerely hope it's not dear ILIs).

Sorry Kim, he's just not that interested in your friend.
Or at least, he has better things to do.
She asked him about it and he said he is very interested, which is the frustrating part.

She should ask him. I don't see why people feel the need to jump through all those hoops. It's either going to work or not. Dating is a waste of time. You might as well test the relationship early.
Dating in America reminds me of how rich white people "teach" their kids to swim. Years and years of swimming lessons in pristine YMCA pools. Bubble blowing, floating, all that jazz. My mum threw me in a pond and told me to kick my arms and legs. It took three seconds.
She's doing this female role shit where she feels like she can't make plans and ask him on a date. If I were a man I would never get any action. Haha. She should just tell him "Friday at ten we're doing X so don't make plans with your WOW clan. "

In the end it doesn't really matter much why he is acting the way he is. It's not working for her and she needs to move on.

Because she is amazing and needs to be worshipped.
