Well, dry is very good. It takes wit and timing. Few words, maybe. Slightly elliptical, which makes for a good joke.
Read dry as intelligent and sometimes mordant. But in your case, not at anyone's expense.
How do you feel about the word choice?
Kinda' like your post "I don't understand." Takes a beat to sink in (for
me) but rewarding. I can't do it, but admire it.How's that?
I was flustered at first because I have difficulty telling if I'm being ridiculed (my baggage, not yours).
Plus, I am *not* romantic in many, many ways.
I'm just pleased to talk to you. I like you an awful lot.
Warmly,
