I just met a guy who is extremely outgoing. We both recently graduated college, but he's the type who went out partying every weekend, was at every school game, and was heavily involved in his fraternity. He has a ton of friends and talks a whole lot.

 

I'm exactly the opposite. I never partied during college, and I didn't have a ton of friends. I go out a lot more now when I'm with my group of friends, and I'm fairly talkative around them, but otherwise, I'm very quiet and shy.

 

This guy and I went on a date, and I know I didn't seem shy at all. The conversation flowed very easily and he said he really enjoyed talking to me. I'm good with one-on-one conversations, but I'm extremely shy around large groups of people. If this guy sees how quiet I really am around other people, is there a possibility he might not like me anymore? I always get this feeling that people are drawn to people who are more like themselves.

Depends on what you want in a relationship. Anything can work if you are willing to make it work. Me personally, I don't want someone whose a complete opposite.

I dated a girl who was seemingly my complete opposite.

 

My insecurities sabotaged the relationship because we were so different. I just couldn't believe she would want a serious relationship with me. Even with her directly in my face telling me so! Eventually she broke up with me and as I was upset, in the back of my head I knew I brought that on myself.

 

Only took 1 date with another girl to realize what a a huge mistake I had made. Regardless of how different we were on the surface and how different our interests were, we got along great and I miss spending time with her.

 

I would tell anyone in your situation not to repeat my mistake.
