Time is crucial here.

Ask questions
If you need an answer to something or if your mind is wandering, don’t hesitate to ask your partner questions to figure things out.

Don’t ever embarrass your partner publicly
Introverts rarely like to be the center of attention. When you two are out in public, don’t try to draw a lot of attention towards you. Don’t propose to your partner in front of dozens of people and don’t get a restaurant full of diners to sing Happy Birthday to your partner. Though you mean well, it ends up being extremely embarrassing.

Speak of important events and commitments
Maybe next week there is a social gathering with your coworkers and their families, and you’d love for your partner to come. Instead of mentioning this event the day-of, inform your partner in advance. Tell him/her that attending is optional, but you’d really love if he/she came and that it would make the occasion that much better.

Schedule important conversations
In most relationships, conversations happen naturally. However, when you’re dating an introvert, it is sometimes best to schedule a day and time when the two of you can talk. This is especially important if you need to talk about something important. Scheduling a day and time gives your partner enough time to process things and gather his/her thoughts.

Know how to read your partner
If you have an extremely outgoing and bubbly personality, you may find that at times your personality can be a bit overshadowing. Though you may be extremely expressive, your shy partner probably is not. Talk to your partner and learn how to read his/her body language. Silent communication is key to understanding an introvert, so try to get in touch with your emotionally-expressive self.
