I think not talking too much is probably a good idea if you want to find a girlfriend. Letting someone else get a word in will generally be better.
Well, there's a right and a wrong way to do that. If you seem to put off a strong, sexy, and intelligent vibe when your quiet then yeah, it'll grab people's interest and they'll love a good listener. However, if you have wierd expressionality and have to do a lot of personal selling or at least enough as to keep people remembering that your normal at heart, the best strategy is to work on humor and keeping that connection (I mean having enough give and take to where you can listen but then again keeping yourself talking enough to maintain their trust and keep her from feeling like your that scary guy from 'Patch Adams'). They have a book called Comedy Writer's Secrets' thats out there, I'm thinking about having a look into that just to help myself have more quick whit to throw at that problem.
