Quiet Confidence Over Loud Egos

I've dated the loud ones, the confident ones, the ones who walk in and command the room. Turns out the guy I remember most was quiet and kind and I let him go because I was young and stupid. I'm 33 now and I'm trying not to make that mistake again. I work as a financial analyst in Stamford and I spend most of my days in meetings where men talk over me, so in my personal life I'm drawn to men who listen. I like the quiet corners of Fairfield County — the small bookshops, the nature preserves nobody talks about, the cafe in Westport that hasn't changed since 1995. If you're steady and genuine, I want to know you.
