If there is one thing I learned from years of monogamy it is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dating. Every single person on this earth is different, and thus, requires an individual approach… and introverts are no exception. In today's world where dating is reduced to swiping and sliding into DMs, dating as an introvert is both challenging and rewarding. 

On the one hand, online dating makes things so much easier for us folks who don't get out as much. We get to meet and connect with people from all over town (or the world) from the comfort of our own homes. Sounds pretty dreamy, right? Well… while online dating has made it easier to meet potential partners, it has also distorted our understanding of what a real partnership even is. That's why it's important to always know what you want and what you're looking for before setting foot on those apps. And honest communication, that too! 

So as you continue your search for long-term love, we hope you enjoy this batch of introvert memes in the meantime!
