How to Date Someone Who Infodumps Without Treating Them Like a Podcast

Ask whether they want questions, listening, correction, or a turn-taking exchange. Name capacity directly: **“I want the long version, and I have about twenty minutes of attention right now.”**

Do not mock specificity or demand a summary as proof of social awareness. Equally, the speaker can check whether the channel and timing still work.

The goal is intellectual hospitality—not unlimited access to either person’s attention.
