I used to date this girl who would tell me I was too serious... It was hard because I didn't have the words at the time to explain myself... Now I do.

Just... Thank you for sharing this.

I think this goes beyond just being introverted. I'd highly recommend picking up "please understand me" by David Keirsey. It's a pretty good breakdown of the different personality type and the axes on which personality is measured.

what, girls thinking you are 'too serious' goes beyond being introverted? It seems like a pretty normal experience to me.

I wasn't implying that it was abnormal. I was just saying that it's an orthogonal issue. More specifically, it's a thinking vs feeling issue rather than an introversion vs extraversion issue:
