If her extroversion isn't strictly social, maybe you kind find activities that allow you both to recharge. A camping trip for example could allow you an opportunity to read, and enjoy nature, and give her the opportunity to explore (hike, kayak, forage, etc.) If that doesn't work you may also just consider doing different things on most weekends, and making explicit time for each other for a nice dinner, a movie, or something more traditionally 'dating'. |

We’re opposite in a lot of things we prefer: - They love traveling w/ crazy schedules, bouncing around timezones for a week or two at a time. - Sleeping and waking late. - Going out late partying with friends. - Spin classes or yoga with club music blasting. - When not doing the above, they stay home doing literally nothing but watching Netflix or reading in bed for days on end.
They are either fully on, or fully off. I find this exhausting and/or boring as hell, depending on what mode they’re in.
I prefer the opposite in a lot of ways: - Staying local, maybe taking a day or weekend trip every few months, and international trip once a year. - Waking and sleeping early - Time alone every day - Working on personal projects or hobbies - Lifting weights or exercising while listening to stimulating lectures or books. - Having hours-long meals with friends or family once or twice a week.
We’ve found that instead of trying to do things we don’t like to appease the other. We find things that overlap for us and make it a point to do them together whenever possible: - Cooking some meals at home - Walking our dog around the neighborhood - Going on day or weekend trips once in a while. - Meals w/ friends and family, when I peel off to go home after, when they go meet up with friends to burn the midnight oil.
