> I don’t think extrovert is necessarily correlated with skilled speaker.

My oldest is quite introverted but can somehow flip a switch internally and is excellent at public speaking. She's won a number of speech competitions and is far better at this sort of thing than I will ever be.




I’m quite introverted and wasn’t at the level that your daughter is, but apparently did well enough at an impromptu speech in college that I had a very cute girl from the class look me up and add me on Facebook.

I still absolutely hated doing it though.


Please tell me that you made a move.


I was already dating someone.

Oddly enough she married someone from my hometown. The college was 3.5 hours away from that town of ~2,000 and he didn't go to our college. If I ever bump in to one of them I'm going to need to ask how that came about.


I'll be honest I wanted to hear that the two of you met up, got married, and had a bunch of babies together.

I guess your answer will have to do!
