If you could only, say what you need to say...

So Ginger is having problems. She is head over heels for this girl who won't show her emotions in any way shape or form. The problem? Ginger is the same way. For the first time, she's opened up and taken on the role of the "expresser." It's confusing and strange to her and she hates being exposed.

First questions: Do we just adapt to situations? If there are two non-expressers in a relationship, will one fold eventually and just blurt everything out?

I myself am not an expresser when in a relationship or after going on a date with someone. I will readily express my interest in a person, either telling them flat out "I like you" or by flirting incessantly. However, once I've opened up that much, I rarely continue.

It's caused issues in my past. Curly would often ask what I was thinking about and I rarely told her. This would either be because it was too heavy for the moment or because it was something completely ridiculous and people usually ask "I'd love to know how your mind comes up with this shit" and it embarrasses me. My first girlfriend, a fellow Aries, we'll call her Aries, would constantly ask what I was thinking, or to tell her something romantic. It slowly started to annoy me so much that one evening, after a long steamy sex session she turned to me and asked "Tell me something romantic?" As I was tired, wanting to sleep, and just annoyed by the question, I slowly turned to her and whispered in her ear "Cheeseburger." Aries literally kicked me out of bed and refused to let me back in. I gently reminded her it was my room.

Second questions: I guess what I'm saying is, to what extent are the mind's thoughts to be spoken about? Is it really necessary to consistently ask what is going on in your partner's mind? Or can we all just chill and realize, if we want to say something, we will?

Until the drama continues...
