An Introvert’s Guide to Dating in the Modern World
Dating can be a tricky business for introverts. We don’t always like talking to strangers, we don’t always feel comfortable in social situations, and sometimes we want to be left alone when going out with friends.
As an introvert myself, I’ve learned that there are ways to date successfully while still keeping your energy levels high and happiness intact:
But, first, find things you have in common with someone.
Once you find someone who shares your interests, forming a bond will be much easier. You can talk about the things you both like, share funny stories, and even plan future dates based on them.
This is an excellent place to start dating if you don’t have many common interests but share values. For example, if you both value being in nature or giving back to others, it shows that you care about similar things.
It also shows that they might be comfortable with spending time with other people while doing these activities because they know what to expect from each other and how to communicate effectively when things go awry (which should happen occasionally).
