I've tried dating introverts; being an introvert myself, I thought it'd be much easier to get along since they'd "get it", right? Instead, the very opposite happened, cause as it turns out, introverts always expect other people to be more communicative than themselves, and this means a complete deadlock when you put two of them across a table.
At some point I caught myself thinking that "introverted people are a pain in the ass, you can never tell what they're thinking". The sheer irony of such a thought wasn't lost on me, so now I have a profound respect for extroverts and how effortlessly open they are, and also how they manage to put up with an emotionless robot such as myself.
I can't even imagine how the courtship process happened between Himawari's parents. Unsurprisingly, it's rapidly glanced over (we met... then we got married...), since even the author herself probably couldn't picture how would two stone-faced automatons engage in a romantic relationship.
Then again, their (amusingly realistic) lack of communication did prove to be unsustainable in the end.
