How to date a Triangle

Relationship Hack

Allow a Triangle to be who they are. They don’t care about their appearance and clothes, and don’t expect them to be highly social or interested in social outings.

Be open to listening to what they think or know, even if you don’t care or get it.

What makes them tick...

They value:

•Having time to pursue their interests

•Time at home

•Being their quirky selves whatever that looks like for them.

•intelligence

•Self motivation

•Learning and pursuing knowledge

•Creation and invention

•Saving things that might be useful later.

•Being frugal and saving money

•The comforts of home

•Science

What to do...

•Spend lots of time asking questions and listening to their ideas.

•Be open to feedback, advice, suggestions and ideas from them.

•Let them know often that you see them and how amazing they are. Give lots of verbal praise about everything they do specifically.

•Ask them to help you and give your advice on a project and them take it, and keep giving them credit for how much you helped them. They would eat this experience up.

•Understand they are not highly social and don’t crave social time. Allow them to stay home when you can.

•Allow them to have their own style of clothing (or lack thereof).

•Give them alone time to pursue their interests.

•They appreciate dates that are frugal and low key.

Accept them as they are

What not to do...

•Don’t be surprised if they look like they just got out of bed or have clothes on wrong. It’s a Triangle thing, get over it.

•Don’t waste money.

•Don’t be controlling and insist on things your way. They will push back and want their way and no one will win in a power struggle.

•Triangles are quick to say what they think and this can offend and bother other people, so you must watch for this behavior and not get offended easily. Have thick skin.

•Don’t mess up their systems. It might look like a mess, but they know where everything is.

•Don’t be surprised when they would rather stay at home than go out. Make a deal and strike a balance if you are a social shape.

•Don’t expect them to be like you or anyone else. Triangles are unique and quirky and you must love them as they are.
