Lightbulb.png Look who's talking: words about speaking

When you finally agree to a blind date, your friend nods, the diffidently (timidly, shyly) says, "Uh, one more thing. He/she is rather on the taciturn side." 

You have a decision to make: does this mean you go out and buy earplugs because your dates shouts, or should you buy an ear trumpet because he/she is so soft-spoken? maybe you need to have prepared several topics of conversation in case you have to do all the talking. Or should you surreptitiously (stealthily, sneakily, on the sly) pop in an Airpod, knowing that a taciturn won't let you get a word in edgewise?
