What Is the Optimal Ratio of Talk in a Relationship?
Do you know, I've never contemplated this in my life.
Relationships can't be analysed like that. Successful ones, anyway. Opposites attract, we all know loquacious women with silent husbands and vice versa.
We walked some about ourselves, backgrounds, activities, families (raised by drunks), jobs - she's from the South, she loves going up into the mountains and wants to take me up there (but she doesn't want to go back to the South, which is fine with me). I'm approaching this with caution and don't want to hurt her.

Excellent freemkt! Keep it up with back and forth conversations.

Thank you, we are getting along very well. I signed up out of curiosity when I saw a housemate on the site, and everything I've read here gave me the expectation of receiving no messages, which was fine with me because I wanted to lurk (read profiles and view pictures) without actively participating. Was astonished when actual substantive messages (real content as opposed to the "hi there" and "where's your pic" messages I also received in the beginning).
I've changed over the years - particularly in the past year - and women change over the years also, in ways which seem to make me more attractive to some than I ever expected.

Aww that's good that you found good ones and that you are understanding.
That is, should each partner talk more or less equally, or perhaps the more loquacious partner talk more than the other, or maybe they should switch (take turns doing most of the talking) from time to time?
I met someone online and after a few days of messaging back and forth, we talked on the phone for over an hour. By my estimate, she did about 2/3 of the talking and I was okay with that, but the intriguing thing is that she says I am 'interesting', which for her is a good thing because she likes interesting and hates boring. (I don't recall ever being deemed interesting before.) I'm thinking, if it's working, don't tweak it, i.e. doing more of the talking isn't necessary or prudent right now.
You're overthinking. Just go with the flow and enjoy.
