Introvert Dating Advice

money crashers Imagine this scenario: You meet an attractive person on a dating website and tonight it's finally your date with them. You are nervous, excited and looking forward to seeing how it goes with this person.  You finally see them and they are as cute as in their pictures but once the conversation started, it doesn't feel natural. It feels forced and you are struggling to find something to talk about and avoid awkward moments of silence. Is it because you are an introvert? or perhaps it's just a lack of chemistry?  You know something is off but you want to be polite and continue the date, however, the other person doesn't want to continue and it's very blunt about it. They might say something like "You are very nice, but I don't feel any chemistry so let's not waste each other's time."  Even when you knew something was off, you still feel rejected and you can't help to wonder if there's something wrong with you.

HealthLine.com People often ask if certain personality types are compatible. And, one that introverts ask often it's between an INFJ and an INTJ. Well, I am an INTJ woman in a relationship with an INFJ man, so I thought I could bring some insight into our relationship as well as tips and advice about how to make it work. INTJ's and INFJ's are actually quite similar: we both value our solitude, we enjoy meaningful conversations and we are passionate about our hobbies and interests. My boyfriend and I met through our mutual love for British TV series Doctor Who , and once we started chatting, we found out that we had many other mutual interests. In the past, I dated other personality types, mostly extroverts and it never worked with any of them because they didn't understand my need for alone time or my quirky interests. When I started dating my boyfriend, I finally felt understood. INFJ's are great, but they are feelers, and that means that they require

photo: girleffect When I read my old diaries from when I was 11 to 17, I can’t help, but to shake my head about how naive and ignorant I was about sex, love and dating. The true is that, I knew nothing.   Most of the things I learned about sex, love and dating came from movies and TV. When I was growing up talking about sex was a big taboo for everyone, but it always has been worse for girls, to the point of being completely shamed just for thinking about it. Looking back now as an adult with a lot more knowledge about those things, I wish I could go back to my 11-year-old self and tell her all these things:      1. Sex Is Not Shameful There’s nothing wrong about wanting to have sex and, there’s nothing shameful about consensual sex between two adults.   Women have always been ashamed for expressing sexuality, which It’s just ridiculous, because as humans we all are sexual creatures, except if you are asexual of course, but that’s another topic.   It’s

Break-ups are painful, especially when you are the one getting dumped and don't even know the reason why.

I am not ready for a relationship. I want to focus on my career.  The good thing is that you are not alone. Many people, men and women, face the same problem over and over again, and most of these people are actually introverts.    Are introverts then more likely to get dumped than extroverts?   I do believe introverts are more likely to get dumped. But, that's mostly because we lack some social skills that could help us know how to act in certain situations. Introverts usually don't know how to hide their emotions, so when we fall in lov

We all know in a relationship not everything is butterflies and sunshine, there will be times when you are going to be annoyed by your partner or you are going to disagree on something, however, there are some behaviors that are often labeled as “normal” or “part of a relationship” which I find quite upsetting because it shouldn’t be consider normal at all. You have the right to get out of a relationship if it makes you more miserable than happy. Here are the things you shouldn’t never tolerate in a relationship, doesn’t matter how much you think you love that person: 1. Insults/Mocking/Calling names: There will be times when you are going to be mad at your partner, most of the time it will be about silly things like disagreeing about where to go eat or they misplacing something that is yours, and usually after a while you just let it go but if your partner seems to get extremely irritable about the little things even to the point that they yell at you and insult you
