Patience would be more applicable with quiet people than worried about what a person might think is more appropriate for themselves.
Once a person becomes comfortable and starts to open up, there's no telling what an individual might be in for. Odds could lean more toward them being too much for you to handle vs. the impression they aren't enough and what ever other premature conclusions might have be drawn.
Quiet or not, every one is different. If you don't take the time, you don't know.

Your welcome. On a personal note about this thread I remember when I was much younger I was very shy. Almost painfully shy and when I didn' t know what to say and there was silence I would start to feel even more uncomfortable. I couldn' t help but feel that the other person was getting uncomfortable at some point as well. It can be an akward situation. Hope this wasn' t to much of an over share.

Hah. Not at all. Those awkward silences are very uncomfortable. I think that's where I learnt to fill them with conversation.

I can understand someone being a bit shy, but someone around my age not being able to have a conversation is not going to work. I remember going on a date with a guy I met on a night out with a group and we actually did talk there and then on the first date - it was like pulling teeth. 
I was the solo entertainer that night and never entertained him again. 
I like to have things in common with someone and being able to converse I find just important. What are you doing for the evening otherwise, look at each other and remain silent?

Persephoneee: What is the best way to handle someone who is extremely quiet on dates/in social situations?
Have you ever dated someone who barely spoke?
Have you ever dated someone who barely spoke?
Yes, when I was a teenager and it made me crazy. It was like pulling boogers out of his nose to get him to talk. So I learned early that quiet, introverted men are not for me.
How to handle them? Ask a lot of questions, try to get them to talk about what they like... but it's a lot of work!!

Extrovert/introvert...it doesn't work. If you're a conversationalist, why bother with someone who is tongue tied? Where's the mental/hormonal stimulation? What's the point? Why waste the time/effort? If both are introverted, fine, sit there and stare at one another if you can cope with that type of intimacy. Perhaps stair at the immediate surroundings and engage in flipped/conjectured comments with no real expressiveness of...what are you/what am I. Ha! No thanks, give me real! Can't yak-can't connect...period.

Like Joey I was painfully shy when I was younger too.
More than make up for it these days(thank gawd).
Prefer a man who can communicate well....and exudes an inner confidence. Not to be confused with arrogance.

you don't have to say it twice..lol, i think shy people really just lack a little bit of confidence in i guess a one on situation with a woman,
and with anything conversation, is something u learn, and get better at , i was shy in my slightly younger years...but i got over it :)

That was my echo....painful as it was...
Yeah, you don't strike me as a guy who would be shy, just from what I've read of your posts.
I got over it too.
I remember, when I was a kid, hiding underneath my Mum's dress....OMG...

Carmengetme,
How astute do do think you are at deciphering the difference? Males can be quite conniving and deceptive. Female also?(tic).
