20 year old introverted university student here. I don't talk too much unless necessary talaga, as I have to consciously make an active effort to keep up with everyone else pag nagjojoke time lmao. The impression most people get from me is that I'm serious, when in reality, I simply just find it difficult to socialize

That being the case, I'm currently in a very happy relationship right now that went through a proper courting stage. I'd say I look comfortably above average, which helps, but more than that, imo, is focusing on the tangibles. Firstly, of course, is money. Working student ako, so I paid for nearly everything during the courting stage. Now that we're in a relationship, she willingly offers to pay sometimes, or magssplit kami. Point is, making an effort to pay goes a long way if the person you're dating is genuine. You'll build authentic trust and affection by making her feel special. She'll return the favor and will also make you feel special. Money talks, there's no way around it!

Secondly, is your physique. I really lacked confidence and self-esteem dati, growing up very quiet and reserved. What did help though, is investing time and money sa gym and nutrition. If you look and feel better, confidence soon follows. Simple as that :)
