INTROVERTS IN LOVE

A guide for introverts navigating the frequently-extroverted world of dating and relationships.

Fueled by the success of Susan Cain's Quiet, as well as numerous online introvert/extrovert quizzes, there's been a resurgence of interest in the topic of introversion. This is the first book to specifically focus on the challenges introverts face in the frequently extroverted world of dating and courtship. When Sophia posted a sneak peek of Introverts in Love on her blog, the item garnered 67,000 views and 300 new likes on her Facebook page within 24 hours. Clearly, the topic has an eager and receptive audience.

Introverts in Love guides readers through the world of dating, courtships, and relationships, helping them navigate issues that are particular to introverts. Being an introvert can sometimes seem at odds with seeking and finding love. Introverts just don't put themselves out there as much as extroverts and even when they do, they aren't as quick to make friends of strangers and are often uncomfortable making the first move. And after an introvert has found someone, how do they let another person into their heart while still honoring the introversion that makes them a private person? How do they balance the togetherness they crave with the solitude they need?

Sophia explains that being introverted shouldn’t mean being isolated. She shows readers the wonderful qualities that introverts bring to a relationship and offers advice and strategies for introverts maneuvering the complications of meeting new people, taking things to the next level, committing to a relationship, and making that relationship work.

Whether a reader is looking for love or deep in the heart of it, Introverts in Love provides helpful ways for them to think about their own style of introversion and how it fits into the relationship they want, or the relationship they have.
