Can a relationship work when one partner is an introvert and the other an extrovert?

I'm an introvert. If my person is to be an extrovert, then I expect him to have friends he can converse a lot with instead of overloading me with his conversations all at once. I'll appreciate that he gives me that space. Other than that, it's a win-win situation for me if he can do that. I expect extroverts to have a lot of friends as it's already self-explanatory.

Some guys want a girl that is more quiet than them. I know somebody who was quiet and dated a guy that was loud and popular who liked to party and socialize. He wanted somebody he could trust who would be his and only his and I think their dynamic was better than to same personality people.

I think as an introvert, I'd be suited to introvert women. But not if they're more introverted than me. 😊 Yikes 😆

Of course, introverts only have problem dealing with strangers not people they know.

[Chikky]

Yes it can, you just have to set boundaries and know the limit.

[Moirine]

I feel like 99% do (NOT BASED ON ANY DATA) . They help balance each other out. I'm an introvert myself and my partner is a little bit of both and it's working great. A lot of guys who had interest in me where introverts just like me and honestly, I couldn't see it working.

I believe it can work. The two would balance each other out quite nicely in fact. The introvert can learn how to be more social from the extrovert and the extrovert can learn how to be more chill and stay in sometimes.

[catiecatie]

I don’t see why it couldn’t. One pushes you to always do your best and the other wants to stay home some nights and chill with you. Shit sounds like a nice relationship to me.

I have read about a relationship working when one partner was a woman and another one was a ghost.


Anything’s possible when you are willing to make it work.

[JBlade]

It isn’t impossible and I’m certain it has occurred many times. As an introvert though, it does not seem ideal.

[Red-Blaze]

Yes for sure it can

I even will go as far and say its a recommended, as nothing on one side is good, and this can help to give some balnce

[Singing_Hollow]

Depends. Sometimes if both people have respect for eachother then sure it can work.

[TrueConfection]

In my experience, the extrovert eventually becomes an introvert or the relationship fails.

[DarkCarousel]

I know quite a few couples with this dynamic and they make it work!

[Blueeyes81]

Yeah. My brother in law is a social butterfly and makes friends wherever he goes. My sister is an introvert and prefers alone time and a few friends. They compliment each other nicely.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Yes There are different kinds of introvert and extrovert. I'm sure some will fit.

[RavVid]

Of course it can. Saves me from the effort of talking. Perfect.

[Anastacia1989]

In some cases yes. Opposites attract a lot of the time but then again a relationship is more successful if people have lots in common….

[Nikki1989]

It is possible, but it is hardly ideal. You are bound to clash on a lot of things.

[TacosRAwesome]

It can work if both understand the needs of the other.

[LiamJHayden]

Yes, it can. The extrovert (I am one) just has to be careful about overloading the introvert.

[Unknown29]

Absolutely. I can’t get along with another extrovert.

[springxxx]

Yes, I think it can. Sometimes opposites do attract

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes, as long it isn't an excessive difference they should balance each other out.
