✅ DO's
- Compliment their appearance and style. ISFPs are very attuned to their senses, so paying attention to your own appearance will be noticed. Compliment them on their fashion or overall look to make them feel appreciated.
- Dress well and pay attention to details. Like the ISFP, they appreciate beauty in all forms, including how you dress and present yourself. Make sure your style aligns with their sense of aesthetics.
- Pay attention to your scent. Using a pleasant perfume or cologne is important, as scent is a strong part of their sensory appreciation.
- Pay attention to the sound and tone of your voice. An attractive voice can be quite appealing to an ISFP, so be mindful of the tone and intonation in your conversations.
- Be diplomatic, caring, and empathetic. Show that you understand and care about their feelings and experiences. ISFPs are deeply sensitive and appreciate emotional support.
- Respect their feelings and values. ISFPs hold their values close and appreciate when others respect their individuality and personal beliefs.
- Be honest, sincere, and authentic. They are great at sensing when someone isn’t being real, so always be yourself—authenticity is key for an ISFP.
- Don’t take life too seriously. ISFPs are typically laid-back and appreciate a sense of freedom and playfulness, so be open to spontaneous fun.
- Be open-minded and willing to go on new adventures. ISFPs enjoy exploring new things, so show them that you’re open to new experiences and activities.
- Show genuine interest in their passions. Whether it’s art, nature, or a particular hobby, expressing a sincere interest in their passions will deepen the connection.
- Plan thoughtful, casual dates. Think about activities like taking a walk together, exploring botanical gardens, visiting art galleries, trying new restaurants, or doing a shared hobby. These experiences feel more personal and enjoyable for ISFPs.

❌ DON'Ts
- Don’t bully, be rude, or disrespectful to others. ISFPs are deeply sensitive to how others are treated, so being rude or unkind in their presence will be a major turn-off.
- Don’t be passive-aggressive or manipulative. They value honesty and directness, so any form of indirectness or manipulation will damage trust.
- Don’t push them to socialize too much. While ISFPs enjoy socializing, they also need time to recharge, so avoid overwhelming them with too much social activity.
- Don’t belittle their emotions. ISFPs are highly in touch with their feelings, so belittling their emotions or dismissing their concerns will create emotional distance.
