Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

I am both, depending on the circumstances.

In smaller groups which include people I know well, I am VERY extroverted.

I larger groups, I'm definitely more introverted.

How about you?

Do you think it impacts your dating life at all?

Like Lori it depends on the situation. I can be extroverted in certain social situations but I usually need some recharge time or alone time on occasion. I definitely prefer smaller groups and enjoy one-on-one time with friends.

I think it could affect my dating in that it might be confusing to a match/date. Although I used to be quite shy and originally an introvert I never meet a stranger and tend to meet people easily, a date might wrongly assume that I am an extrovert and either overlook some of the good qualities of being an introvert or assume that I am an extrovert all the time and need people around me all the time.

Definitely introvert. In crowds I do ok if I am speaking, but I don't think that is the same as extroversion, the separation of roles makes it possible.

I'm a friendly introvert? I'm quite comfortable alone (and need a fair amount of alone time), but enjoy people as well, preferably in smaller groups...

It does affect my dating life (or rather, the lack thereof), because I don't often seek out social situations where I might have a chance of actually meeting some warm bodies...lol. I'm more likely to spend time with friends (going to a movie or dinner or on a hike or whatever) than going to bars or parties where more people congregate...

I'm more introverted than extroverted... I had to learn to be more extroverted when I started dating.

But I'd say I'm a healthy mix now.

According to eH, as well as some other tests I've put myself through in the name of scientific research, I'm 50/50.

Does that mean I'm an introverted extrovert or an extroverted introvert?

Basically an Introvert with Extrovert tendencies.

I really enjoy my time alone and very rarely (can't remember the last time!) get bored.

When I do go out I have a good time, really like people, enjoy meeting new ones, no trouble with small talk, feel at ease.

I haven't dated yet this time, but I remember the last time I was dating as being more vivacious than not.

Very extroverted!

I don't think it affects my dating life too much, though I would guess a shy man would have trouble getting a word in edgewise or even getting up the nerve to ask me out. It's probably a little intimidating. But it's what I am and I'm happy that way!

Extremely introverted. I need lots of solitude, especially during the school year, when a good 30-45 minutes alone as soon as I get home is a Must. About once a month, I need a weekend to myself.

Dating was very hard for me. Thank goodness my honey understands that my need for solitude is not a rejection of him.

I think it's so cool that there are so many of us that don't quite fit into the box . . . I, too, am a bit 50/50. I can be extroverted, if I'm in the right "mood," but many days I'm introverted. I push myself to be more extroverted, and I am with my friends, but mostly I quietly wait for people to come to me because I'm too tied up in anxieties to reach out to them. Yes, I think this keeps me from meeting people that I might want to date. On the other hand, the times I've pushed myself outward, I haven't met anyone either. Perhaps my time has not yet come.
