I've never dated before, so I don't think I'm the best candidate for this, BUT! As someone who has quite a few friends here and lots of conversations, I think it truly just depends on the person or people you are talking to. People that know me IRL know I can talk hours upon hours if we are really close, or even if we just find a good topic of discussion. However, I'm also someone who CAN be quiet and just listen to what's going on around me, but I do also enjoy presence sometimes too, because words don't always need to be said for you to enjoy one another's company. But not all people feel the same, and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I think, that when you really love someone or just are fond of them, you'll go out of your way to try new things for them sometimes, but it's also fair that they respect your comfort zone and stick to doing things you like too. Knowing how to talk and conversate is important, I truly do believe that, but if you have friends or a lover that cares about you enough, I think they'll remain patient with you as you try and figure out how to be more talkative. I think you should remain yourself while also remaining open to step out to try conversating more, especially as you seem to want to, and maybe be honest with others about how you aren't the best at it. Heaven knows that I often feel bad cause I forget to check in or don't have much to say somedays XD, yet I still (somehow) have plenty of friends who communicate with me on here and elsewhere as well! But, I have been told they can tell I care about them...so there's something to be said about just being sincere in your intentions and honest whenever you do say something, because it CAN have an impact on others even though you are only talking online. Sorry for talking your online ears off lol, and I know I probably didn't help much. But, to sum it all up, sincerity, understanding and honesty goes a looooong way in a relationship, whether platonic or romantic. Sometimes, we don't even know the reasons why someone may not respond back, cause sometimes it may not be for bad reasons, just life happening ^^. Anyhow, I keep blabbing, but I wish you the best! ❤️ (Edit: the one man on here that I did show interest in was pretty corny if not downright awful with pickup lines XD. And I still liked him cause it was cute and endearing and silly, but, he also was pretty good at just genuinely complimenting me in a flirty way...like my personality and looks, and that's what made me more fond of him.)
