Girl I'm dating is really awesome in most ways, but also comes off as a little dumb

I'm not proud to say it, but I was too critical with one of my past girlfriends.

I'd like to think I've learned my lesson though, and am able to keep things to myself in my current relationship...

...or hopefully I do, I'll try to watch myself for that in the future.

It can be spelled 'blond' as well.

And really, even if my original post has a typo or two in it, it doesn't automatically invalidate my concerns about whether the two of us are mismatched or not.

I'm 29, she's 25.

It's all good. I don't think you're jumping down my throat. I get everything you're saying. Actually, I thought about things from that "I am I just being a snobby psuedo-intellectual?" angle as well.

Thinking about it, I wouldn't say I'm a psuedo-intellectual in the sense that I'm showy and pretentious. I'd say I'm more just curious and nerdy and like learning about new things. It's fun to me to have a conversation about some some random topic like, uh, whether welfare is a good system.

With my girlfriend, I think it's what you're were saying, it's not that she's dumb, she's just not as interested in the nerdy stuff I'm drawn towards.

And it's not even that I always want to talk about existentialism or whatever. It's more that on the odd time I do, it would be nice if my partner could contribute. Or does it just not matter?... I keep going back to, "Is it totally essential that I have to have these conversations with my girlfriend. Can I just get that part of me out of my system through other people?"
