If you go out on a date with someone who seems to be perfect in every way, have you ever wondered if they would also make a great romantic partner? A new study is suggesting that when it comes to social butterflies who seem like the perfect date versus those people considered "socially awkward," the latter group makes a better committed partner.

Those individuals who are always on top of their game when it comes to social situations are referred to as "self monitors." They evaluate how their actions and appearances affect those around them. By adjusting how they act and what they say, these people appear to be perfect at building strong relationships.

However, researchers conducted a study by comparing various participants' level of commitment and how much they self-monitored, communicated (on an intimate scale), and their relational satisfaction. The findings show that because these individuals watch what they say and do in order to appeal others, their commitment doesn't run as deep. This is in comparison to socially awkward types who, when surveyed, showed higher commitment and satisfaction. Is this scientific, or moreover, believable? Not across all situations, thankfully -- everyone is different, and even the researchers admit that people often end up with someone in between these two polar ranges.
