Being shy is certainly a difficult factor to compensate for. But, I think it is easier to deal with in the online dating world than the "real world". It is a less intimidating forum for initial conversations, at least. You do still have to get yourself to meet a stranger somewhere though, which I know can be tough. It was tough for me at first, and I'm not super shy (I'm probably about average in that regard). It got a whole lot easier after I did it a few times though. In fact, the whole dating thing got a lot easier after I did a fair amount of it. That's another reason why I advocate for online dating, and meeting as many people as you can. Like anything else, dating takes practice. The more you do it, the more comfortable you'll be with it. And, the more comfortable you are, the more success you're likely to have.
