Idk hey, after the initial meeting, I don't think it takes THAT much work, because you're in the getting to know each other stage, so there's lots to say.

I could be wrong tho....


My BF and I are both introverted.


We met at high school and quickly became close friends.


Years after graduation we reconnected online (he was abroad) 2 more years passed and then we met up. That's now 7 years in total.


But I kid you not when I say we don't and never have struggled to keep the conversation alive. If the topic dies and another doesn't spark, silence ensues.

A comfortable warm silence.


Until one of us has something to say again.


Some days we talk for hours non stop, others we exchange very few words and mostly cuddle. Depressed days, we don't talk unless we have to, while cuddled up in front of the tv.


And all of it just feels natural and comfortable. No pressure, it just works.


I think one of my favourite aspects about our relationship, is that I don't need to explain not wanting to be social, or needing time to recharge. And yes there's times when we recharge together, and no, I don't think that makes us less introverted. We can't sap each others energy if we are literally doing nothing besides being in the same room at the same time.


Its actually quite healing TBH, its a whole different level of intimacy.


My mom is an introvert and my dad was an extrovert. They were married for 43 years when my dad passed away, so don't go limiting your pool of options thinking you have to find another introvert.
