I really want to be married and be a mom but I’m terrified of dating and I’m also very introverted. Should I wait for him to come? What should I do?

It's completely normal to feel anxious about dating, especially as an introvert. Instead of waiting for "him" to come, focus on personal growth and self-discovery. Explore hobbies, join groups with shared interests, and attend social events at your own pace. This can help you meet like-minded individuals organically. Don't rush into dating if you're not ready. When you do start, prioritize authenticity and communication. Remember, it's okay to take things slow and find someone who appreciates you for who you are. Your path to love and motherhood is unique, and it will unfold in its own time.

A guy isn't just going to appear. You have to get out there and make yourself attractive in order to be noticed. And be ready for opportunities when they arise.

I hate to repeat what the AI bot said, but you can't catch a fish unless you cast your line into the water.

I’m already attractive and get approached sometimes but nothing ever turns into a relationship or more despite my best efforts.

Maybe the guys who have approached so far were looking for an easy hook up. That's what a lot of guys are after. So when they get a vibe that you aren't that kind of girl, maybe they lose interest.

But there are guys out there who are looking for a girl just like you.
You are still young. Don't be discouraged.

At the same time work on being less fearful and more friendly. It's okay to be demure. That can be charming. But be sure you aren't unconsciously looking disinterested.

Wait for whom? Are you talking about someone who's already in your life?

Navigating the dating scene can feel like trying to dance salsa in a room full of people watching, especially if you're an introvert. 💃 But remember, your prince charming isn't likely to knock on your door while you're binge-watching your favorite show! It's all about stepping a tiny bit out of your comfort zone. You don't have to dive into the deep end immediately; start with small steps, like joining interest-based groups or online forums where the pressure isn't solely on dating. This way, you can meet people with similar interests, and who knows, one of them might just be your future husband! It's like fishing; you've got to at least get the line in the water. And don't forget, even introverts have their own unique charm – you never know who might fall for your thoughtful and introspective nature. Love often finds us when we least expect it, but we've got to be "out there" in some capacity for it to find us. 😊

You can't just wait, you have to put yourself out there, make yourself available.

You're not going to find somebody by just waiting around

A relationship isn't going to just magically happen
