He’s smart and witty, etc., and his tendency to not overthink plays to his benefit I’m sure. Sometimes I wonder, though, if he’s bringing enough to the table intellectually (for me). Like, can’t he overthink just some things? I’ve just always considered introspection a sign of intelligence (a hugely self-serving belief!). In times of doubt I find myself comparing him to other (usually older) guys who are better conversationalists and seem to have stronger worldviews. Guys who have deeply thoughtful advice.

Anyway, maybe I’m asking him to hit my every marker, and that’s unfair. Because we are just so … easy. We are easy. Really. Except when I make it hard every once in a while with my circular thoughts.　https://www.thecut.com/2015/04/ask-polly-am-i-settling.html

1　he’s bringing enough to the table intellectuallyの意味を教えてください。
2　hit my every markerとはどのような意味でしょうか？
3　circular thoughtsとはどのような意味でしょうか？

以上、よろしくお願いします

「もっとも、卓上（の会話）に彼が十分な知性をもって臨んで（参加して）いるか、私は疑問に思うときがある。」

2. hit my every marker

「まぁ、もしかしたら私は自分の願望全てを満たしてくれるよう、彼に期待しているのかも知れない。それはあんまりだ。」

3. circular thoughts
