In line with other commenters, don't see any tension between these two concepts.
First, introversion is how you get energy, not directly how you behave. Ideally, people don't really know if you're intra- or extra- versed because you engage with them well. Being introverted is not a license to ignore social connections or be terrible at dealing with people.
Second, even if introversion and extraversion affect your outward behavior (eg: how frequently you want to go to the bar) - that's just one factor. For example, I am an introvert and my natural inclination to go to the bar is low. However, I also wanted to meet someone and get married, and if a woman proposed we get drinks at a bar, ok no problem.
At the end of the day "introversion" does not define your entire being, it's an energy preference akin to "I feel better when I eat the Mediterranean diet." It doesn't negate your desire for sex, children, partnership, etc. and unless you have other issues you can navigate it.
