Why does it have to be so painful at times!

Okay, I had a date with Dave - Geeky Dave from New Hampshire. The geekness really wasn't an issue - the issue was that he didn't talk. Yes, he has great listening skills but I need someone who can carry a conversation with me. Not me having the conversation on my own, trying to pull him into a conversation. I don't want to go on all these dates....dating sucks!
