My gf often gets hyper when she's talking & she'll ramble on for a while. It's hard for others to participate.
People say I speak really fast too. But thats not my intention: I do intend them to participate. If they end up not participating, that means that the outcome didn't match my intention (perhaps rambling is part of the reason why). But fact remains: my intention is for them to participate.
So maybe your girlfriend also intends for you to participate. And she rambles for the same reason I do: a habbit. But that doesn't change the fact that she *intends* that you participate (just like I do) hence we are both speaking "to" rather than "at".
