Virtual socialization is more of a shy extrovert thing. An introvert will get exhausted after a lot of socialization, virtual or physical.

Online dating sounds incredibly high socialization to me. You scan through dozens of people in quick succession and interact with many of them. Talking to a single stranger in real life is way less demanding than that.

You're right to distinguish shyness from extroversion; as someone who became less shy without becoming any less introverted, it's not a clear association.
