Can you pick on in the picture of the two children who the introvert is?
If you guessed the little girl, you're correct! Us introverts are a breed of our own. It's beyond difficult for us to date.
You might say, "Yeah, dating is difficult for everyone," but it's worse for introverts. Here are the eight things to know if you're thinking about dating an introvert.
1. You'll Be "The One"
Introverts don't mess around when it comes to dating someone. We aren't into this whole idea behind the "casual hookup" or "there's plenty of fish in the sea." We're going to take the relationship as romantically as possible. We will have thoughts fluttering throughout our head that this is "the one." You need to know this beforehand because we will end up telling at some point we feel this way. We're not trying to scare you, it's just the way that we function.
2. We Will Never Fight
We're the lovers, not the fighters. This can be both a good and a bad situation in any relationship. Introverts aren't going to want to fight and bicker with you about a situation. Instead, we're just going to want to have a discussion about the situation. We don't want this to lead to yelling and screaming because we hate that! So, please if you think something needs to be discussed to an introvert, as them to have a conversation and don't let it lead to an all-out war.
3. We're Not Quiet Or Shy
This is something that irritates introverts the most. We are just as talkative as those extroverts, we just like opening up to a specific group of people. We are the down to earth type that loves to talk and be heard. If you can break through our shell, you'll see what I mean.
4. Resting Bitch Face Syndrome
We can't hide the fact that it will always look like we have a resting bitch face. We promise you that we aren't bored or annoyed at all with the situation. On the inside, we are all about the situation at hand. You've probably seen this happen already and you've probably had questions like "Is he mad?" or "What did I do wrong?" Trust me, you didn't do anything wrong, it's just our comfort face.
5. Overthinking Everything
As an introvert, we're going to overthink everything that we've ever said to you. Everything is going to loop in our head over and over again. We wonder why we said that subject a certain way, we should have said it differently. We're going to do this quietly and reflect back on the situation. If we apologize for the way we said something, we truly mean it. Even if it's something silly. Just please accept the apology because we've been playing that moment on repeat.
6. 20 Questions Before Going Out
We need to know every detail about planning on going out. Who's going to be there? Where are we going? Are the people annoying? Is it going to be awkward? Can't we just watch a movie together instead? These are just a few of the numerous questions an introvert is going to ask you. This can be so frustrating to you and we get that. We truly need to know what we are getting ourselves into. Preparation for any social gathering is a must for us because we hate being social.
