Dating a Shy Person From a Dating Service

Posted by Jayson Pablo | Dating Services | Saturday 19 June 2010 8:17 am

Sometimes a good dating service can help shy people to meet others in an environment which doesn’t pose the same social difficulties which
might be a problem in a bar or at a party. But once you’ve decided to meet up with one another, you might find it a bit tricky to encourage a very shy person to open up.

Dating a shy person can be challenging – you want to make them feel at ease and not under pressure, but at the same time you want to
encourage them to open up to you. Relationships are built on trust and mutual understanding, so it really is important to gradually break down the barriers – without making them run for the hills! Here are some top tips on dating a shy person.

Reassure them on their social abilities

A lot of the time, shyness is based on insecurities, so reassuring your dating partner about their positive qualities related to social issues may help them to open up. For example, if you met through a dating service and found jokes made in their online messages or online profile very funny, make a point of this by telling them how funny they are. Or, if you notice them becoming animated about a particular topic of conversation, tell them that you admire their passion on the subject. The more positive comments you can make about their social interactions, the more confident they will become.

Listen to them and ask open questions

Listening – really listening – can be an excellent way to encourage a person to open up even more. Many of us think we are listening when in fact we are just deciding what our reply might be, or how what they are saying relates to us. Instead, try to reply to any comments your dating partner makes about themselves by asking further, open-ended questions and genuinely being interested in their answers. To start things off, you could ask them about an interest they have which you noticed from the dating service details. When they reply, ask them to tell you more about the interest, or ask what made them interested in the first place. Try to refer to what they have said in your response. This kind of attentiveness builds trust and will encourage them to open up even more.Introduce them to people gradually

While meeting people on a dating service provides a reassuring barrier for shy people, meeting a number of new people in person can be a little overwhelming. To make it easier, try to introduce friends and family one at a time, or a few at a time as this will make the experience a lot less intimidating for them. If you do take them to a big party, try to ensure that they already know one or two of your friends as this will make it a lot easier for them. In group situations, it can be very helpful to suggest topics of conversation for them, for example if you know from their dating service profile that they enjoy Italian food or that they have been travelling in Africa. But if they don’t want to talk in a group setting, never force them to do so. Gaining social confidence might be a long road for them and you want it to be a pleasant one.

Love Vs Attraction – The True Unmasking

“Anyone can love a rose but it takes a great deal to love a leaf… it is ordinary to love the beautiful, but it is beautiful to love the ordinary…” it’s right what they say about clichés, they tell the truth. Before we decide to get involved into something- may it be in business, in friendship or in a romantic relationship, we always ask the million-dollar-question:Is this for real? In this case, we are going to discuss about romantic relationships, which is much harder to fathom than any other relationships.

“Romantic relationship” applies to any form-not just between man & women but to anyone who feels something special and unique for someone.

So how do you know its true, exquisite, never- ending love? You don’t- that’s fact of it. Knowing the truth about it is a road less traveled. A hard path to take, there is no easy fix in discovering the truth.

The only test of true love is time. In order to achieve success in romantic relationships, assessing yourself is a must. The first and vital step in knowing yourself is discerning your strengths and weaknesses. If that is established, know your limitations, this is essential in perceiving where you stand in every situation you will encounter.

This doesn’t mean that you should conquer all your insecurities and be this perfect confident person. Rather, acknowledging and accepting that you have flaws and insecurities and you are a work in progress. In other words, admitting that you are perfectly flawed and loving it. Being in a relationship involves you and the person you value and it will never work if you are a stranger to yourself and eventually to your partner.

Once you have attained that goal in yourself, being in a relationship will not be as relatively arduous. Ask yourself. What attracted you to your partner- Is it his teasing smile, his tanned skin? His attractive hair? His smooth talking? If you answered yes, then it’s just mere fascination and attraction.

There’s nothing wrong with that but as long as you accept his or her imperfections altogether then you are on the right track-true love is never skin deep. Choosing to see the dark side of your partner and asking yourself if you can take it. If you can, then you are not blinded by “love” at all.

True love is not blind-It sees but it accepts. In fact, noble at it is, it can open your eyes. Why do you care for your partner? If the answer to this question is something tangible or something that fades in time then its not loving- because if that answer fades in time so is the the feeling.

Reason for loving someone, should be intangible. Unconditional. Loving lasts forever- it is more powerful than death. The love that you have
should for each other should make you a better version of yourselves. That is the true essence of loving. It may break at times but eventually it heals and restores- the heart, the person and the soul.
