I personally would, I think if the person had a good sense of humour and a really nice personality, and we'd both be understanding of how eachother feels, It could work out very well =)

In general, yes, but I kind of agree with what the OP said: I need a partner who is more extroverted than me and who can help me get out of my shell. Otherwise, we would just both end up isolated or something. I really need that external push sometimes.

I'd be willing to give it a shot. I imagine it would have benefits as well as drawbacks, though. If I could get her to go out looking for warblers with me, I wouldn't have to tape her mouth shut. She probably would be quiet enough to not scare any off before we could get a good look at them, but would she go out in the first place? Until then, I'll keep birdwatching alone.

The more important question: Would an SP date me?

no. there is some sort of complimentary thing... some compensation... something comforting about a partner who is strong where i am weak.


(not trying to be cute with the "com" words. coincidental. ugh. i should use a thesaurus. eff it. submit reply.)

I could, but obviously it still depends on the person. In my assertivity training group was a girl who also had SA, and i was totally in love with her. But it was so hard to make contact. We talked but it was more like exchanging info than really talk, because we both were so uncomfortable.

I think that in general most women look for confidence in a man. Men not nessesarily. I think we can all agree with the fact that people with SA are not very confident. So I think that women are less likely to date people with SA than men dating women with SA. Am I right? :p

You are probably right, Acegame.

I voted yes on the poll, but I think it could go either way. If I was in a relationship with a girl that had SA it might have helped us both, making us stronger together... or maybe it would be destructive?

I have never been in a relationship, so I have no idea...

I would, but I have the impression that someone would SP would not give me a chance, maybe because I am quite social myself and from what I've been reading on this forum this may be intimidating and a problem ::(:
I told someone with SA about my feelings for him, we are (or at least were until then) friends. He just decided to ignore or pretend not to understand and just changed the subject. I am not sure what is going to happen now, if he'll start to avoid me or if it will be me who will get distant because it is a very hard situation to deal with.

I don't hate on all women, just women who walk near you and talk when you're trying to look for secretive little birds. I also hate noisy men, children, babies, dogs, insects, and cell phones.

But, uh... yeah, it's my fault. This time I won't take the opportunity to quote Han Solo. So punish me, and let's get on with our lives. Heck, punish me by taking me out on a date. Guy or girl, I'm always open to good food and good company.

Tape is okay, too. Just don't use the axe. :eek:

That depends...I think I'm datable and I have mild SA. It's the long-term relationships that I'd be more worried about. Trust issues....I guess the question is: would I put up with someone like me? Maybe.

I've always had this idea that I'd rather date someone with less shyness than me so that they could help through and out of it. I would obviously not want to be the "alpha male" in a relationship at this point because I wouldn't know what to do.
