Actually, the two can compliment each other. Sometimes understanding each other is a struggle, but it is possible. Remember that these differences are only in basic temperaments and not love or friendship.
I wonder which one you are. Regardless, you should try reading a self-help book called The Introvert Advantage if you really want some good information on this.
I'm almost fatally introverted, and I have a distinct tendency to be attracted to extroverted people, so the book really pertained to me.

Actually, they make a good team. The extrovert becomes a "cover" for the introvert. They do all of the talking, organizing, socializing, interacting with companies, dealing with complaints over the phone, etc, etc. If you are a deep introvert, a good extrovert can take care of a lot of the necessary interface with reality for you.

Well how about my take on this situation.......I am an extrovert, my ex-husband is an introvert. I was exhausted trying to carry an everyday conversation with him, wheather at home or out for a meal somewhere. I grew resentful trying to continue the social things I enjoyed prior to meeting him. He would always want me to check with him first and include him in the plans and then not go. I grew bored as he sat in his "chair" and watched tv for hours at a time......on a beautiful sunny day! I was made to feel guilty as I look around the restaurant that we were sharing a meal at and accused of "looking" at other men. I was angry when he treated my childrens friends badly........he didn't want the noise or intrusion of kids in the house. After two years I decided I would not live the rest of my life this way and divorced him. He was my 2nd husband. We originally met on line.
There are always two side of the coin to consider.

that's easy. The introvert can just sit back and be quiet and let the extrovert do all the talking. The extro can represent the both of them to the outside world.
This is the case with my husband and myself. It actually works out better most of the time b/c you don't have two people competing for air time!

No problem. Live and let live. Come to a happy medium. Enjoy life. Don't let the other person's likes and dislikes affect you. If you want to GO and the other person wants to STAY, so be it. You go and the other person stays home.
It won't be easy but it can be done. Good luck. The MOST important thing about the "other" person is COMPATIBILIEY!! Pops
