Is your dh socially challenged?
Ugh, my dh can not handle social situations! We walk in to a room full of people I don't know and he asks me where to sit! lol I left it up to him and we sat at an empty table. I ask him where the other managers are and he doesn't really say but indicates he isn't "part of the crowd".
I finally got him to ask the head manager if there was room at their table, thank goodness he said yes or else we would have sat alone! I could tell he doesn't socialize with them at work though. My dh has never been very social, even with friends but they all sort of talked around him.
They were all nice and friendly, but some of the things dh said made me want to smack my forehead......they sort of ignored him or laughed along. His boss is hot....hot enough that I had to dream about him (not in a juicy way, just in a he was there way). I talked more than dh did.
Aside from dh being awkward it was fun and we were home by 10! Next date is in Feb to see Shrek the Musical!

Re: Is your dh socially challenged?
Glad you guys got a night out and had fun!
My DH is the total opposite. He could talk to anyone about anything, complete stranger or not. He talks tooooo much sometimes!

Glad you guys had a good time! To answer your question, yes x100! DH is super quiet in social situations, like he'll talk when spoken to, but very rarely will he go out of his way to be social. I feel like I have to over-compensate for his shyness. What can I say, IT guys aren't known for their bubbly personalities. :-) He's hilarious and so so smart once he is comfortable, it's a shame the rest of the world misses out on that side.
I agree with JnK, your DH has never come off as awkward to me! He actually seemed the exact opposite, I was thinking I wish DH was more like yours! lol
Completely socially challenged. I tried to talk to him about this yesterday. We went to a party on Saturday and he barely spoke and then went to my sister's house last night and he barely spoke. Drives me crazy. He doesn't have friends outside of work (he moved here when he was 30 so other than work, he hasn't met anyone.) I've actually tried to "court" couple friends but DH doesn't really speak to the husbands so it's lost.
He's in IT too, Ashnmike so maybe you're on to something. He is good after meeting people many times but getting to that point is painful.
And I talk non-stop - to anyone!
