ESTJ (Responsible type)And I will explain about love.
ESTJ (the type who takes responsibility) and romance
The following is a quote (with some modifications) from "Let's Look at the World from the Perspective of MBTI Personality Type Theory" (website no longer exists).
This decisive personality trait also applies to romantic relationships. While you may hesitate and worry sometimes, that time will be short.
Normally, they don't show their emotions and rarely empathize or sympathize with others, but once they become interested in someone of the opposite sex, they fall intensely in love and actively pursue them.
Even so, they still struggle with expressing emotions and showing empathy, which can sometimes make them appear awkward to others, and their expressions of affection can come across as one-sided.
Actually, I don't really like the effeminate feeling.
You'll get along well with people who appreciate your cheerful, friendly, and fearless nature.
In relationships, too, we may unintentionally hurt others by failing to understand their feelings. We need to be mindful of whether we are forcing our opinions on our partner and causing them burden.
If the other person has an objective and rational perspective, and can accept a courageous attitude, even if it's a little insensitive, then there shouldn't be a problem.
A good match for an ESTJ would be someone who is relatively level-headed, not swayed by their superficial words and actions, and can see through to their true feelings.
In any case, it's important to have a relationship where you can clearly express your opinions to each other.
If you start deliberately refusing to accept or hurting others in order to save face, you must stop, reconsider, and change direction.

I get along well with people who share the same values and strong beliefs, who can work collaboratively, and who can follow rules and divide responsibilities.
Alternatively, you might get along well with people who possess a strong sense of aesthetics and ethics, and who try to express and act upon them in some way.
I'm often busy with work, but otherwise I try to adjust my free time to match my partner's schedule.
When you get married,Introverted Feeling (Fi)This energy will be directed towards the family. You will feel a strong attachment to those you truly cherish, and you will try to care for and protect them when they are in trouble.
Introverted Sensing (Si)Because they work, they take care of their health. Also, their primary focus will be on ensuring stability in their family.

Advice for those dating an ESTJ
ESTJs are trustworthy and keep their promises. Their ideal partner is someone intelligent and reputable, someone they can brag about to their friends. While they can be inflexible, once they establish a relationship, they will likely maintain it for life. They are strict with themselves and others, and will not tolerate infidelity or betrayal from their partner.
They often avoid touching on emotions and feelings, prioritize their own opinions, and don't listen to others' opinions, which can be difficult for their partner. Remember that while they may not express their feelings in words, they often communicate them through actions.
For example, ESTJs put a great deal of effort into fulfilling their obligations to their loved ones. Social events are also important to them, and ESTJs remember important events such as birthdays and anniversaries. However, if even the slightest negative aspect of their partner emerges, their feelings can cool down instantly. They have high ideals and expect their partner to meet those standards.
For an ESTJ, the end of a romantic relationship means
It's not over until it's finished, but once it's over, they'll move on and try to start life anew. They believe that relationships, like everything else, have a certain goal, and that progress is made towards that goal. They think that relationships cannot exist without a goal, and that if there is no one else, there is no need for a goal in the first place. Of course, goals can change or be revised. This type of person considers that to be just another reality of life.
