17 Things Introverts do Once They Fall in Love ...

Introverts do things a little differently than everyone else. I feel pretty secure in saying that because I am ridiculously introverted. It took me ever so long to realize that, however, which probably explains why some of my past relationships ended the way they did – or perhaps I simply needed to find the one very special person who understands my special brand of introversion, my darling Heather. Anyway, the point is, introverts behave a bit differently when they fall in love, too. They do things for and because of their new love that are actually quite meaningful.

1 They Will Break Their Quiet Time to Spend Time with You

Introverts love their quiet time. They need it, they thrive on it, it's essential to them. When we're willing to give it up to spend time with someone else, that's pretty special.

***

Quiet time for introverts is like oxygen, it keeps their inner world balanced and peaceful. Yet, when they're smitten, expect them to sacrificially put aside their treasured solitude. By willingly stepping into the whirlwind of social interaction to be with you, introverts are whispering a silent testament of their affection. It's not just spending time; it's choosing the chaos of the outer world over the tranquility of their personal sanctuary, all because you matter more. This gesture is a diamond in the rough, rare and indicative of a deep-seated love.

2 They Push Boundaries and Step out of Their Comfort Zone

For an introvert, trying new things, doing something we've never done before, and stepping out of our comfort zones are all terrifying … unless we're doing it for someone we love.

3 They Slowly but Steadily Reveal Their Emotions

It may take us a while to trust you. It may take us a while to open up. It's worth it – for both people in the relationship.

4 They Will Slip into a Crowd if You Want to Be in a Crowd

It puts our teeth on edge, being in a crowd, but we'll brave concerts, Renaissance Faires, and Black Friday sales for the one we love.

5 They Will Push Themselves to Go out – if You Want to

We're generally happy lounging around the house reading, watching TV, or playing games, or maybe hanging out with a small, close group of friends. We'll make ourselves presentable and go out with you if we're in love, though – and we'll even enjoy ourselves.

***

Sure, our idea of a perfect evening might usually involve curling up with a good book or binge-watching our favorite series, but when you crave a night on the town, we're on board. Love makes us want to step out of our comfort zone for you. We'll put on our dancing shoes or try that new restaurant you've been raving about. Witnessing your joy during these outings brightens our world in a unique way, a little like stars twinkling on a once dark horizon.

6 They'll Even Make an Appearance at a Party for You

Introverts aren't usually fond of parties, but that's not to say we'll never go. If you're important to us, we'll make the sacrifice – but don't be surprised if we're zapped afterward.

7 They'll Want to Get to Know You Really Well

Once introverts trust someone and, even more, love someone, we go deep. After all, most of us hate small talk, so we tend to dive into the big subjects right away.

8 They Might Send You Little Gifts and Trinkets That Make Them Think of You

We're just thoughtful that way. Maybe even sentimental. Whatever, it's cute, right?

***

It's all about the personal touches that say, “Hey, I get you.” That tiny book from the obscure author you mentioned once or a quirky keychain from a place you dream of visiting; these are our ways of whispering I care. Introverts aren't just tossing gifts your way; they're curating little pieces of happiness to match the museum of memories you both share. Because every time you smile at these mementos, it's like a silent conversation between hearts. Isn't that the sweetest secret code?

9 They Notice All the Details about You That People Usually Miss

We pay very close attention to people in general, especially those closest to us. We know the color of your eyes, which sweater you want for your birthday, your favorite Disney movie, and how beautiful your penmanship is.

10 They Will See Your Point of View but Still Keep Their Own

We're all about seeing different perspectives and understanding different viewpoints. We love it. However, we won't capitulate – unless you make a really good point.

***

For introverts, every perception matters. If you've captivated an introvert's heart, they will cherish your thoughts and fiercely respect them. It doesn't mean they’ll sway easily in the breeze of your opinions; rather, they stand firm in their own beliefs, branching out only to intertwine with the logic that resonates with them. They're not the types to simply nod along just to keep the peace. Expect meaningful debates that challenge and prove intellectually stimulating—because to them, love means not only sharing whispers under the moonlight but also sharing and respecting a mosaic of ideologies.

11 They Still like to Take Things Slow

We're slow moving creatures. Give us some time. It's worth it.

***

Introverts often take a deliberate and thoughtful approach to relationship milestones, preferring deep connections over superficial encounters. They savor each moment, from meaningful conversations to comfortable silences. As they fall in love, they cherish the intricacies of getting to know someone at a pace that feels right for them. Their love may not come with grand gestures, but with a steady, unwavering commitment that deepens over time. Trust that their decision to move slowly is not out of hesitation, but out of a desire to build a lasting and authentic bond.

12 They Will Feel Understood

Well, that's the hope, right? That the person you love will understand you?

***

In love, introverts yearn for that magical connection where words are superfluous, and a shared glance says it all. When introverts fall in love, they dive into the depths of their partners' souls, unraveling the very fabric of what makes them tick. The beauty lies in the silence that communicates volumes, and in the comfort of knowing that your partner gets the unspoken angst or the subtle joys. The intimate knowledge that someone treasures the quirky corners of your mind is the truest form of acceptance, and for introverts, there's no greater love.

13 They Will Come up with Thoughtful Surprises

Just because we want to see you smile.

***

Introverts have a unique way of expressing their love, and it often involves crafting surprises that are both personal and touching. They’ll remember that offhand comment you made about your favorite book or how you've wanted to visit a particular art exhibit. Then, when you least expect it, they'll present you with a first edition or surprise you with tickets. These gestures aren’t grandiose, but they’re incredibly significant, showcasing their deep connection to you without needing a spotlight.

14 They Will Let You into Their Quiet Space

Oh, yeah. If an introvert loves you, s/he will not only sacrifice quiet time, s/he will share their special spaces with you. That's love.

***

Introverts guard their solitude like treasure, savoring moments of calm to recharge. But when they're truly smitten, they'll invite you into their sanctuary—their personal nook of tranquility. And when they do, know that it speaks volumes. You're now privy to their inner world, a significant leap of trust and comfort. This sharing of space signals a deeper connection, an indication that you're cherished beyond the ordinary. They're not just opening their doors; they're opening their hearts.

15 They Might Make You a Playlist

Lots of us express ourselves through music. We love looking for songs that describe something happening in our lives.

16 They Might Try to Call You on the Phone More than Texting

Actually, this depends. Some of us hate talking on the phone. Some of us get texting anxiety.

***

When an introvert starts feeling those deep stirrings of love, they may dabble in the old school charm of voice conversations over the ease of texting. It's a telltale heart-flutter when they're willing to navigate the potential awkwardness of real-time chat, just to hear the timbre of their beloved's voice. Wading through umms and ahhs becomes a small price to pay for the genuine connection they feel—no emojis required to express emotion. Sure, the thought might send shivers down their spine at first, but love has a funny way of turning fear into fearless leaps of faith.

17 They Will Give You Great Body Language

We have to. We don't say much, so we're used to revealing our feelings through gestures and expressions.

Does this resemble any of the introverts in your life?
