Online Dating For The Shy
Good news, shy guys (and girls!): Finding a date is about to get a whole lot easier for you.
Being in the academic programs throughout school, I often found myself in classes along with the painfully shy. When teachers or fellow students would talk to them, they would clam up and turn three different shades of red. I always thought of how hard it must have been for them to get through their day-to-day lives, but I couldn’t even imagine them entering the dating world. Having to strike up a conversation with someone was hard enough for them, but having to do it with a total stranger that they’re attracted to? It would be harder than confident people could imagine.
If you’re among the shy, then you don’t have to give up on finding love yet. Online personals are a great way to search for a date without having to put yourself out there.
When you’re using online dating, you get the opportunity to connect with people while getting a chance to use the computer as a security blanket. By not being face-to-face with people you’re pursuing, you can take your time and think about what your response is going to be, which will make you a more confident conversationalist.
Don’t look at being shy as a completely negative thing. Sure it may hinder your social skills, but you can easily use it to your advantage. In a world where everyone is constantly talking online, on their phones, in person, on tabs, and on every other medium you can think of, people appreciate silence! When you’re past the online portion of your dating life and into face-to-face interactions, know that the woman you’re with will probably interpret your silence for keen listening skills, which women see as a major bonus.
Whatever you do, don’t assume you’re alone in being shy! Big name celebrities like Keanu Reeves and Nicole Kidman have both said that they’re so painfully shy that it’s tough for them to get through red carpet events because of all the attention. There’s people in every level of success and love that are among the shy, so know if they can do it, you can as well.
Sign up for a dating site to test the waters and get to know people. The more you converse online, the more relaxed you’ll be when you’re in a real life situation that requires you to connect with someone. If you feel your voice is too small, then let your fingers do the talking online!
