You’re welcome! If you decide that you want some feedback on the bio you write, assuming you go this route, feel free to send it to me and I can help you tweak any parts you may feel unsure about.

I agree with appendixgallop on ‘reserved and introverted’. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these qualities, but I’d say there is a more positive way to frame them on a dating profile. I have a somewhat similar personality, so I understand what you mean, but how about something more like:

“I can be a little bit shy at first, but once we get to know each other I am excellent company one-on-one! I’m very excited about hopefully meeting someone who loves bowling, horror (or whatever) movies, and talking about dinosaurs! I hope to talk to you soon!”

“It can take me a bit to get comfortable with someone, but once we get to know each other a little I am very engaged and excellent company. I’m very focused on meeting the right person to build a relationship with, but let’s start with talking about (favorite dinosaur) or your (favorite exhibit at favorite museum, favorite place to bowl, favorite Stanley Kubrick movie, lots of options here). I look forward to getting to know you!”

“I thrive in one-on-one social situations or small group settings, but I can promise I’m excellent company. Let’s talk about (similar to above, list a few specific interests) or your favorite way to spend a Saturday afternoon!”

There are ways to suggest that you’re interested in one-on-one interactions without using words that might suggest coldness or distance. After all, you’re looking for someone to be comfortable with and to have fun with! You just don’t want to do it at a party, that’s all!

Above all OP, remember that it’s not all about being in a relationship. I missed your age the first time I read your post, and it’s okay if this takes a little time. As others have said, it’s a good idea to practice developing friendships with all types of people. This will help you to to become more comfortable in social settings, and you don’t want to become too focused on just finding a relationship. The first step is to become more comfortable with yourself :)

Last thing, I swear, but I checked your profile and you’ve got a pretty cat! Cats are good! Lots of people like cats! A nice (smiling) selfie with your cat in good lighting is a great profile picture, in my opinion. Not the first picture, maybe like the third, but having a pet you love is a good look!

Thanks, though I'll probably just ask a friend or a few of them. And that's for the other suggestions and advice.

Noted about the cat. Felines can sometimes be partner magnets.
