An extrovert is a "social butterfly" who advances in the presence of people, whereas an introvert is someone who prefers to spend their time self-reflecting in their own company. Due to these differences, there is a perception that introverts are difficult to date. However, this article offers five tips about introverts so that you can enjoy dating one.
Be Accepting.
There is nothing worse than when an extrovert forces an introvert to be just like them. Introverts are the complete opposite of extroverts, so once you accept those differences in your partner, your relationship will flow.
2. Be Patient.
Introverts are like snails when it comes to meeting new people. They like to take their time engaging with those that they don't know as they are private people. When they are thrown into a new environment with new people, they spend their time assessing whether to let their hair down or keep their distance. If you're dating an introvert, give them time to feel comfortable enough to open up to others, and soon enough, their fun personality will shine through.
3. Balance your time between socialising and alone time with your partner.
Although you may want to go out and socialise with people most of the time, your partner also needs your attention. This does not mean you should bring them along to social events with you. Find a balance between your socialising and time alone with your partner by setting those boundaries so you can both be fulfilled in the relationship.
4. Do activities that advance the traits of your partner.
Introverts are intellectuals who prefer small, intimate gatherings as opposed to house parties.
Their traits consist of listening, learning and giving good advice, so allowing their traits to flourish in certain activities will make dating them an easy ride!
5. Get used to having deep conversations.
Introverts like spending their time in silence or having deep conversations with people they trust. Immerse yourself into these things, and you will learn more about your partner every day.
