So I [25/m] have been seeing this [25/f] for about 2 months and we're not fast tracking, but we've definitely been enjoying each other's time. We are a typical opposites attract story. I am a confident, out-going guy with a large network of friends and a typical extrovert. She is a shy, introverted, beautiful girl with incredible compassion and understanding, but has a smaller crew of friends that she is VERY close with vs my large group. 

Our 1on1 relationship is incredible, in fact, maybe the best 1on1 with any girl that i've been with. **However...**

Naturally, as an hyper-introvert, she battles with social anxiety, especially around other females. When I take her anywhere where my friends are or people she's unfamiliar with, she shuts down entirely, doesn't talk, is awkward, etc. Meanwhile, I'm driving conversations, meeting people, life of the party type of stuff. When I want her to get involved with the group, I have to (figuratively) hold her hand until she gets comfortable and even then, she doesn't really thrive.

I'll comfortably admit that when I'm not with a girl with strong opinions, I tend to railroad these types. Not to mention that riffing and bantering with many different people at once is my natural state and can be overbearing for these quieter women. That said, I do like this girl a lot, but she's messing with my groove and can't help but feel apprehensive about the long-term with her. 

*Questions:*
What's the move here? I can't change who she is, but would love to see her more confident in social settings.
Is this an obvious dealbreaker? 
Am I wasting my time with unrealistic expectations?
