I've not read the books or seen the movies or anything, so I don't have a clue what Edward is like.

The 'minor' issue is one thing (eek) but if I had the power of telepathy, I can only assume I'd be pretty fascinated by someone I couldn't read.

Human interaction is kinda built on the supposition that you can choose what you share with others and keep private things private, and getting to know people is the process of getting comfortable in sharing more about ourselves. We feel happy around our friends because we feel we have a sense of them and know them, and that's an earned process.

If you always knew what anyone was thinking, it would make life very bland.
