Silence. A smile. A word here and there. Or tons and tons and tons of words. What mode of communication do you most enjoy? Why?

So depending on the situation you employ all modes? Usually (not always) if I remain silent I don't give a rat's a ** either way. If I do then I say my piece and it is usually more than a word here or there. I am not known for brief/succinct/sparse communication. If I bother to speak up I speak out and long and sometimes too long.  Thank you for your reply DdbTD! :)

In my personal life? I tend to be a talker.. I reassure, i engage, I soothe, I encourage.. that takes words...  and yet I know I am sometimes too *wordy* - I speak sometimes when I should shut the heck up or save words for a better time.. .  
I am a creature of passions... if I feel something then I say it... if I am silent, either I don't care or there's something wrong.. lol but even so I admire those who can say it all with just a smile...  and I was thinking, soppy old romantic that I am.. that sometimes a smile says it all.... a romantic look across the room, a meeting of eyes and that smile.. it's enough to get one's interest...  or erm once romance is established... that certain look that means something without the need for words...

You are a true romantic honey! Here's a memory from my past that I have rarely shared. I was 16 and at an event...I don't remember exactly what event but I was passing by a staircase and going up the stairs was a very handsome young man..teenager...with his parents I guessed. He looked at me and I looked back and that was all that passed between us. Never saw him again but I remember his face. I'm 79 now. Imagine that? So the power of a glance cannot be overstated! Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I really appreciate that you share so much of yourself. It helps me to get to know you better. Thank you for your reply DdbTD! :)
