DATING AIN'T SOCIALISING!

When extroverts bring their social habits into dating, the experience can quickly feel diluted

- Somi Das

Dating these days often feels more like a networking event or a lively mixer than an opportunity for genuine connection. Extroverts, I'm looking at you. With your natural gift for socializing and storytelling, you bring great energy to any room, but when it comes to dating, this social approach can actually be frustrating. Dating isn't just another social engagement. It's a space meant for more intimate, intentional interactions that help us understand if there's a deeper compatibility. When it's treated like a night out with friends, something essential gets lost.

Let's get something clear right off the bat: socializing is fun, and extroverts are the life of the party. They are the storytellers, the joke-crackers, the ones who light up group dinners and bring new people together. In a friend group or at a work function, they shine. But in the dating world, where we're ideally exploring genuine personal connection, this approach doesn't always hit the mark.
