Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive I like this...Posted by Emily on January 30, 2000 at 23:12:22: In Reply to: A 4/5 responds posted by Travis on January 28, 2000 at 21:46:32: : I've been withdrawn, moody, and erratic with women myself. In retrospect, I'd like to call the women I've dated or liked and apologize to them for my weird push/pull behavior. From my more enlightened, mature perspective at this point, here are my recommendations to you: : 3. Express exactly what you're feeling, even if it's embarassing. This will spark his natural ability to relate to deep thoughts and emotions. If he responds with openness, compassion, and honesty, you've got a good chance together. If he closes off more, he's still immature, and needs to lose a few more girlfriends before he wises up. This is very good advice, number three especially. I don't know, maybe I can just relate to it. It's hard wanting to be expressive and open about feelings with someone close, but having that person be uncomfortable with it. I'd say you should just give it time Ms. puzzled 5, and if he doesn't open up, then you shouldn't have to continue in a relationship that doesn't fulfill you on all levels. It's not easy letting go of ideals. :) -Emily, 4w5 iNFp
