[quote=Anonymous]This question re-surfaces several times a year.

I have had homebodies and social butterflies.  Right now I have a painfully homebody situ. She stays home on the weekends and weekdays and then says she's bored with her day. She does go to the gym 3-4 days a week. But has all but refused to find new friends. Not from lack of trying to connect her via the LCC, the neighborhood APs, or facebook groups. She's just a loner/introvert and is happy with it.

For me, I would have to get out of the house at least once a day or once a weekend for sanity. But she's very levelheaded and such a hard worker.  She is trying to plan her vacation weeks, so she's not skipping out completely on the experience.

I am just sad on the missed opportunities. Why come here to just sit in your room and watch live pass by.

But the social APs are worse. You feel like a hotel and just not feeling the love or like they care about you at all. Like others say, try not to overcompensate. I found my current one in rematch after letting a social one that was only interested in hanging with her countrymen and extended family in the area and not interested in any relationship with us.

I wish I find a balance each time I match, but sometimes it swings to the extreme one way or another. Take a good look at your questions and adjust to ask for soft skills.

I had another homebodies (not as extreme) and both found their way/BFF/interests mid-way through the year and were more outgoing. Hang in...it might be early still...
