Yes, that can be difficult sometimes!

I isually throw it back with, “What exactly do you want to know?”

I prefer multiple choice questions myself.

I was on a first date with a guy I was very attracted to. First time in a long time I felt this way. So , what does he say to me.... yeah... I froze...I shrugged... I wanted to just... dissolve ....I felt him looking at me, felt him wondering, what the fuck is wrong with her, it's a simple question....a million thoughts ran through my head all at once....all of them the horror that was my childhood. Can't tell him that yet! What do I say? Most of the good stuff that I could think of about me was posted on the dating site and he already read it, do I just repeat that?! WTF! I felt like I blew it with this one question. Because he is an extrovert and could not possibly understand this dilemma. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what to say on a date when asked this question?

Tell me a little about yourself: (Me) Think, think, overthink, blank....

I usually shut them up when I tell them I am a western European islandic mutt

But not as bad as when your wife or SO says, "we have to talk".
