any girl who wants a slow-burn connection?

I'm a pretty big introvert, and the current dating scene feels completely exhausting to me. It seems like everyone is in a massive rush to jump into high-energy environments, intense conversations, or immediate expectations right off the bat.

For me, a perfect first date isn't a loud, crowded bar or a formal dinner where we stare at each other like it's a job interview. I need time to observe, process, and feel comfortable around someone new. My ideal vibe is just grabbing a quiet coffee, taking a walk through a park, or visiting a museum where we can talk when we want to but also appreciate a bit of comfortable silence.

It feels like if you don't bring peak extrovert energy to the very first meeting, people lose interest immediately or assume you aren't trying.

Are there any other introverts out there who feel this way? How do you manage to find people who actually appreciate a slow-paced, low-pressure start?
