Ok. This is really bugging me.

Those of you who said you would laugh, my question is: why?



What is it about the question, the situation, the thought of someone seeing a long term relationship with you something that would illicit such a response? Is it like what ladeelovex3 and Jazzlee said? That relationships just don't work for them?

I'm having trouble understanding the reasoning behind this and need an in depth explanation. The way I see it, I'm sitting down with someone or on the phone with them and the conversation leads to this statement being said. If I don't see the relationship working then I feel uncomfortable because I know I'm going to let her down and break her heart. And, being an ENTP, I don't really like intense negative emotions especially if I've contributed to them. If I"m unsure, then I'll say I'm unsure but give it some more thought and see how I feel about everything. If I see it working, then all is good.

Laughing about it is like trying to fit a jenga piece into a jigsaw puzzle. It just doesn't belong. Where's the joke?

[WildWinds]

Well, for me it wouldn't be so much of an OMG UR SO FUNNY LOL type laugh. It would be more of an "this is supposed to be a joke right?" laugh, or a "aww you're too cute" type laugh.

I simply cannot imagine somebody seriously making that kind of bold statement. Its also something I joke around with friends about all the time. I'll also laugh if I'm caught off guard. Swift way to give me half a second to think of a comeback XD

[NinjaStyle]

Because then and there all spontaneity, excitement and wonder is killed.
It's damn awkward so turning it into a joke is kind of a polite way to offer us both a chance at a way out of the tense situation just created.

Don't forget the 'Perceive' part of us

I'd akd why.

I'd try to determine the reasons why she thinks that (assuming it wasn't a joke) and if they stand. If they do and it''s someone I'm interested in (or might be), I'd make a move. Otherwise, I'd convince her she's wrong.

But I'd ask why either way.

I'd think about it and say well hey, we can give it shot, but lets just be friends it takes me along time to figure out if I like a person. Unless of course I'd already done that then it depends if I like'em I'd be all hell yeah, if not I'd be lets just be friends.

It'd put pressure on me and I'd probably want quiet a bit of time away from them as I sort out my feelings, and then not being around or when I'm with it would be well weird or pressured, I'd want them to really spend time with me before they did that. Like two or three months of hanging out and gradually building it up. They can think that and act in subtle hinting ways while I'm around them but when it's said and done I want know it's more than just gut first reaction, I want bit of investment and time spent before hand getting to know me. Because I really don't want jump into it and then they decided otherwise after I've just started to feel something for them and started to feel safe. If we spent some time together and it escalated quickly but naturally, I'd be ok with it after even a week if we've spent quite bit together that week and it's one of those blatantly obvious mutual attraction things but that's the quickest and it would almost all have to good signs/green lights.

I know you ENTPs like to play around different ideas, so here's a question for you and I want to know what your reaction would be.

How would you react if someone told you that they "just knew" that you and them would work if you were to be in a relationship together?

I'd say, "that's cool. Let's try it now." XD

[deSouza]

ENTPs like direct speech and setting cards on the table. I'd respect you a lot for the initiative, and possibly give it a shot.

[Dark Romantic]

I'd laugh, because optimism ungrounded in reality amuses me. Then, depending on the person, I might give it a shot.

[Psyphon]

Well my first reaction is that I'd push them into a chair, straddle them, and then kiss them ... and then tell them whether I agreed or not .... or just laugh .... I don't know, I'd come up with something in the spur of the moment.
