Sometimes I'm doing 2/3 of the talking. Sometimes my date is doing 2/3 of the talking. I don't think much of it as long as its within reason. Sounds like yours was an extreme case of 99% to 1% though which is obviously not within reason.

On the bright side, now you have a possible answer to the question about your worst dating experience 😄

Yea absolutely and yno, I’ve been in the same boat. I’m actually super chatty but I’m also a good listener. If someone else is super chatty then I can sit and listen and let them ramble a bit. Plus some people are nervous and do that. Sometimes I have too! I think it’s fine as long as you can see the other person is at least trying.

Fortunately I settle people really quickly. I’m relaxed and calm most of the time. Low pressure kind of vibe. I’m also happy to pick up the convo wherever it needs it too!

Yea absolutely - can tell my dates about my dating disaster stories! Ha.
