"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Update: I see a LOT Extroverted Thinking in your post history that stands out, you are a photographer, and some minor posts stood out. My final answer is ESTJ. Why did you type as INTJ? 1). The vast majority of people have the wrong definitions of what an introvert and extrovert is, so they screw up on the first letter and it goes downhill from there. 2). INTJs have extroverted thinking as their auxiliary function, so if you were completely unaware of what Extroverted Thinking was, you could've mistaken this as your dominant function while testing. Last, I do not know who you are outside this forum, so I am purely testing you off of your post history.

I think Im borderline introvert altought closer to the extrovert range.
2-3 hours a day of socialization are more than enough for me while I need total silence and quiet to work and rest.

This underscores the significance of adhering to cognitive functions. Extroverted Thinking, while outwardly directed, may exhibit introverted tendencies, harboring a preference to avoid interactions with individuals perceived as lacking intellectual depth. Furthermore, the notion of leadership is multifaceted.
An ENTJ finds limited compatibility with middle management or team leader positions, roles that often entail motivational functions or overseeing larger groups. Instead, ENTJs are better suited for executive leadership roles or guiding more specialized, compact teams. To illustrate, a middle manager interfaces extensively with numerous individuals, whereas a CEO or upper-level manager oversees a larger cohort with more authoritative interactions.
Another example: Joe Biden is the leader of 300 million plus Americans, but he is mainly dealing with his cabinet and leaders of other countries, political parties, and businesses not Joe the plumber in Ohio.

Enneagrams are more fashionable these days and have an interesting history. There is evidence they played a role in some early religious manuscripts, and may have been the origin of the 7 Deadly Sins dogma.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

ambivert pretty much means you are an intelligent extrovert.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Seems to depend on how my emotions are running at the time of eval but I’m a bit of a chameleon according to MB.
I like to socialize but it drains me after a while. I appreciate solitude and quiet and alone time although I am quite content being close to one or several individuals. My husband is an introvert and on the ASD spectrum in a very highly intelligent high functioning (STEM) way. I also work in STEM but am very left/right brained so I have great intuition and emotional calibration…
It’s all fascinating stuff.
