Of all the mysteries in the world, one is that why and how introverts get along so well with extroverts. It is almost as if the scientific saying of opposites attracts each other getting personified.
Regardless, we have seen quite a few introverts being best friends or even partners with people who are extremely extrovert. However, just like all other relationships, this one too comes with its share of complexities.
If you’re an introvert who is currently dating an extrovert, you’ll relate to everything that is going to follow. If you are an introvert thinking of dating an extrovert, you could take a few lessons from here, and if you’re an introvert thinking of dating an introvert, well leave the thought. Here is everything that happens when an introvert dates an extrovert:
#1.Socializing Issues
The immediate thing that comes to mind upon thinking of such a diverse pair is that they will naturally have problems socializing, together or alone. The extrovert would always want to go out, party with friends and on the other hand, the introvert’s lazy pants will hardly allow them to leave the bed. So, in situations when they are invited to a party, chances are the scene might not be charming while discussing to go to the party or not. However, for introverts, they love their partners, so they’ll surely come out of their bags and step out.

#2.Extroverts Are Spontaneous
Let’s face it, we all introverts believe in doing certain things in a fixed certain way, and we are not people who are very often seen changing things upside down. However, our extrovert partners are nothing like us in this regard. From making last minute plans to ditching last second plans, extroverts can be extremely spontaneous. Perhaps this is one the reason why they need a calmer and more stable partner like us to ensure that there is someone who stops them from being too spontaneous.

#3.You Are Often Called Insensitive
We are introverts for a simple reason: we don’t like to talk to a lot of people, and neither are we interested in other people’s lives. We prefer being by ourselves and just doing our things. However, as a result of this, we often come up as people who don’t care about anyone else. Whenever you demand for a little time off from your extrovert partner to address some personal issues, you’ll almost instantly be labeled as not caring and loving enough. When will these extroverts grow up?

#4.You Want To Be Understood
This is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed before an introvert starts dating an extrovert. For people who already know, will tell you that the only thing that introverts expect from their partner is a bit of understanding. They want their partners to understand that it is only because of their personality and the way they have socialized since childhood that they are not going full throttle in the relationship. It is no way means that they don’t care or aren’t loving enough. Perhaps an understanding extrovert partner is just what any introvert ever needs in his life.

#5.You Sometimes Envy Their Social Skills
Let’s just admit it here, once and for all: going up to people, having conversations and forming bonds will never be our cup of tea. However, it is this quality of our extrovert partners that we often envy. It is because of the simple reason that our extrovert partners are more popular than us and never find it awkward talking to people. We understand that talking is a great social skill and we envy our partners sometimes for having been blessed with it.

#6.Their Family Is Harder To Deal With
You can deal with your partner. You are in love with them after all. However, on the odd days when your partner’s entire extrovert family comes, you feel super annoyed. Dealing with one extrovert person is a task in itself, and now you have to deal with more than one people. It is almost like an impossible obstacle for us to climb. Your partner might find your ideology offensive and creep, and that is why it is essential to be with someone who understands you.

#7.You Don’t Know Why You Love Them
Anyone can say that you and your partner vibrate on frequencies that have no chance of matching in the entire multiverse. You often tend to think this fact as to how you love your extrovert partner despite you guys being so different on so many different levels. However, you eventually make peace with yourself knowing that opposites do attract. Moreover, your extrovert partner is the perfect match for you as he compliments everything that you lack and this way he/she can help you get over your weaknesses with their strengths.
