I do tend to be that one guy with the trivia. I suppose that tends to be a larger portion of my conversational habits than I mean it to be. :/
Very big Daydream Believer. "That's not knowledge, that's a crapshoot!" -Al Murray "Welcome to QI" -Stephen FryRandom: this soon after breaking up it may not be, but I don't know much about her character. Play it by ear.
In the long run of course, it's quite a good idea to not each pretend the other was eaten by a crack in time.
Fresh-eyed movie blogI can taste the quality in Guinness, but it's so bitter I wouldn't buy it outside St Patrick's day.
Fresh-eyed movie blogRE distance: There's roughly two thousand miles between me and [REDACTED]. Long distance is long, yes?
Random: Say you can't. Things will still be really awkward for a week or two and you want to keep communication bland, polite, and impersonal until it stops being awkward.
Kino: Duly noted.
Erock: I... don't remember exactly how it tasted because I was already somewhat tipsy by the time I went to the bar pub, but I managed three cans so it can't have been TOTALLY terrible.
Guinness is the darkest beer I've ever seen, and I had thought that with my tastes, lighter beers would be better, but then I had a Texan regional dark brew that blew everything else I'd ever tasted out of the water.
Fresh-eyed movie blogTail-end of the abbreviated conversation between a friend of mine and me concerning my planned trip to visit "Ashley":
Friend's mother (who happens to overhear the conversation): "Well, you should just relax about the whole thing. And even if you guys end up having sex—-"
Thank you, (Friend's Name)'s mother, for automatically jumping to the most extreme of conclusions. *sweatdrop*
I feel your pain.
When I went to visit Furiko last week, she gave me Christmas presents from her and her mother. One of the presents from her mother was— and I went through and counted this to be sure— nearly four dozen condoms.
Yeah.

I think he's talking to RTL, not you.
One of my few regrets about being born female is the inability to grow a handlebar mustache. -Landstander

This may not really be a romance topic, but I used to be like that (and still slip into it occasionally)
To 'fix' the problem, I had to constantly monitor the tone of my voice and my over-all attitude. If I was getting preachy, I would stop what I was saying and ask the person I'm talking to a question (not a leading, teacher question, and honest question). Get the topic changed over to them, and let them do some talking for a bit while you reassess your own attitudes. The arrogance comes form an innate selfishness that what you have to say is somehow a little more important or knowledgeable than what the other person has to say.
