I could kick myself.....met a really good guy who is very quick witted/sharp and I'm just dumbfounded

[Upsadaisy]

I want to crawl in a hole lol. I finally plucked up the courage to ask this guy out and last night we talked and texted quite a bit but he's just so quick witted that his wit went straight over my head as he realised repeatedly and I must have across as dumb. Anyone know how to deal/give back with sharp wit??? I just want to say something really clever but it just doesn't come out in the time lol.
I dont want him to loose interest before we've even gone out.
I just want to come back and say something that grabs his attention, if anything to show him that actually I have a bit of something about me, just don't know what.

Firstly, bravo on plucking up the courage to ask him out! Don't kick yourself!
Secondly - give us an example of his wit so we know what we're dealing with
Thirdly - Maybe by taking the bull by the horns and asking him out, this shows there's plenty to you...

[GarrottedbyElasticband]

perhaps he will calm down,
may be it was nerves?
or he was proud to be asked out and was showing off

[PregnantGrrrl]

I'm sure he was probably just trying to impress...he's probably run out of steam now!

Be yourself, don't try too hard, if that doesn't impress him, he's not worth it.

[CappuScreamO]

if he makes it obvious that he realises that you're dumb he is not a gentleman at all he is a clever-arse

no-one likes a clever-arse

[anorak]

Just because he is more quick-witted than you doesn't make you dumb. You're just different. I've learned that when people don't speak very often it is well worth listening carefully when they do speak, as they often have something to say that's worth hearing.

As PG said, be yourself, what makes you think he would be attracted by a clone of himself?

[pigletmaker]

I agree with anorak.

He may be over excited.

Hope you have a great time out!

[TwigorTreat]

saying something clever is over-rated

anyway you're the one with the norks

have fun

[newgirl]

just laugh he'll like that!

and as twig says - youve got your assets!

how did you meet him...he must have liked you

[LittleMissNervoustWitch]

sounds to me as if he likes you for who you are anyway, just be natural with him, you never know he may find your dumbness to his wit endearing! and it seems he feels at ease enough with you to be witty so that is good

[Baffy]

agree with anorak
