"Little Talks" - Of Monsters and Men

I don't talk. Hardly ever. Especially when you first meet me. People say I look intimidating but let's be real I'm like a spider; I am more afraid of you than you are of me.

I always have plenty of things in my mind to say but I don't open my mouth. I'm just selective. I don't start to come out of my comfort zone until I'm around people that I am really comfortable with.

Once upon a time I went on this date. It was a first date. We had met a few times before with minimal conversation and we had texted a little bit.

We had a picnic at a park. It was a gorgeous day. I was wearing flip flops. It felt like a gorgeous summer day (but obviously not a Vegas summer day because then it would have been 40 degrees warmer and unbearable).

We're eating and talking the conversation was great, no awkwardness. Then all of a sudden he says "You've been talking talking too much."

I've never been told that before in my life.

Now before you think that it was rude or something he was going off the fact that I had hardly eaten anything and he was already done with his food. We laughed about it and later I tried to convince him that I really am a shy person but I don't think he bought it.

I just feel validated that everyone is as shocked as I am that he said that. It still makes me laugh!
