The term introvert never really meant anything to me until I met my lovely girlfriend (Soon to be wife).
My Dear wrote a blog post on herself, here her link if you want to read what she wrote :)

Sorry! My Dear, I know you don't like to be call an introvert! but only for this post ok :)
I, myself is a super extrovert, I love hanging out with people, loves social interact, loves company, so you all can guess what was it's like when the 2 of us start dating each other!
Catastrophic??? Nahhhhh!
It is amazing!!!!
Socially people tends to stereotype introverts as someone who are anti-social, lonely, not friendly, shy, quiet, less friends and etc etc...
This is become they didn't get to know this person personally.
An introvert is someone who has a human size "Bubble" or "Hamster ball" surrounding them. It doesn't mean that area is "keep Out" area, it's just that you ain't close enough to him/her to be in their "Bubble".
After dating my introvert, it spurs me to want to understand more about introverts so that I wouldn't be bewildered by the behaviors or decisions she made which were weird to me at first.
So what is it like to date an introvert!
1. They are not anti social, not depressed or mad..... (maybe not all the time)
They are actually a fun bunch if you get to know them, but they just prefer less interaction!
2. They don't like to answer phone calls.
Phone calls are a nuisance to them! Why? because they need to talk!!! but I'm very honored because she picks up my call every time... unless I did something to agitate her.
Telemarketing can totally give up about getting them to pick up your calls! and for Friends you can try!
To them... if the issue is at utmost importance!!! the person will text!!!
3. It's okay to be left alone!
Yes! They need to be left alone for a while for time to time, doing the stuff they like to RECHARGE!!! It's not because you did something wrong (Maybe you did!!!) when they said: "I need to stop talking and spend sometime alone".
4. Secretly they are very happy with someone called to cancel a gathering.
Don't ask me why! The only reason I can think of is that they prefer to stay at home and read!
So if you don't have a plan for the day, they are fine to just stay at home to watch a movie/drama . It's True.
5. It's okay if they don't call/text you for the whole day!
Don't get worried sick if them don't call/text you for the WHOLE DAY. It's totally fine, it just means today is a normal day and nothing interesting happened for them to share with you!
This also means if nothing interesting happens today, try not to keep calling/texting them! REMEMBER CONVERSATIONS DRAINS THEIR ENERGY.
Dating an introvert can be amusing and irritating at the same time. Sometimes the way she behaves still bewilder me, but I understand that by letting me into her "Bubble" means she trusts me totally and I will honor and cherish this trust that is given to me by her :)
