Do you like shy men?

I assume he was the one that asked you out though

When I was dating I was attracted to the extroverted types. They were lots of fun. IME they were also the ones that couldn't keep it in their pants to save their life. When I met my husband, he was quieter and more introverted. I found it refreshing. 22+ years into our marriage, it turns out that my husband has social anxiety and it pisses me off. He is wonderful in every other way but the social anxiety makes me bonkers. I don't mean that he doesn't like parties or other social situations. I mean that I do most of the school pick ups, sports practices, and dog walking so that my husband doesn't have to run into people.

He will go to our son's games, to some select friends houses, have people over at our house but generally he avoids being social and it drives me bonkers. It is way more than introverted. I know I've enabled this BS for a long time. I'm not divorcing over it but it does make me crazy.

Are they shy or brooding? Many women love Mr. Darcy.
