My current partner and I are both introverts. The only reason we met is because we both dared to go outside to our LGS (Local Game Store). There, we met over a game of Magic the Gathering and some DnD and misc board/card games that I brought with me. And we started chit chatting over discord.
I eventually invited them over to my birthday at Dave and Busters where we bonded and there was a spark. I asked them out first, to which they said "yes" but they had a condition. We had to go on 3 dates before it was official. During that time I learned a lot about her life and I told her alot about mine. We were extremely similar in a lot of ways but also different in some ways. But the dates went really really well. And we've been steady for 2 years now.
In addition, I've somehow very quickly gained favor with their family simply by doing occasional board game nights with non-mainstream board/card games and just hanging out with the family and stuff. And also providing tech support on occasion haha.
Needless to say it has been going really really well. Way better than any of my past relationships. It only took me 39 years to get to this point in my life. As some of the comments have said, finding your love can sometimes take a long time.
Just try to be patient with finding love. And try to do things you like to do that are outside. That way you can meet people naturally with similar interests. There's tons of events and things out there that you can go to just to meet people that like the same things that you do.
