Why are you texting him?

I remember a girl who would talk everything out on the phone the day before a date. Wow… she made it hard to talk about stuff on the date the next night. Sheesh.

Save up your talk for face to face dates. Go DO THINGS on dates… it doesn’t matter if you don’t think you’ll like it. Do it anyway so you have something to talk about. Movies, food, theatre, art, skating, swimming, wave pools, skydiving… whatever it is.

That’s the boyfriend’s job anyway. If all he does he respond to texts… that’s kind of lame.

Lots of times when a conversation goes stale you should take a break from talking. It doesn’t mean the end of the world, but you should just show him that you can be independent but without getting to distant at the same time.

My bf and I started as long distant, we lived across country from each other, I would have him talk about what he wanted from our relationship, and tell him what I did too.
When it got stale, I told him that I was gonna go do something that required my attention for a bit, he started to miss me while I was gone from texting so he started texting and talking back.

When things get awkward don’t let it stay that way, go do something else, it will get bad.

You should talk about how you made this post and nobody gave any good advice. But wait, that one person said something interesting, and then that other person did too! I bet it’d be fascinating, you could talk about this post for hours, and maybe on some of your anniversaries in the future. It’ll be truly awesome, but only if you take my suggestion and apply it with all the enthusiasm you can. Good luck!

me and my boyfriend talked like that a lot when we were apart for the summer. we became really good friends playing a game where we would alternate with questions about each other. some would be serious, and some would be simple.

have you ever wanted a pet?
who is your closest friend besides me?
where do you want to go when you graduate?
what’s the most artistic thing you’ve made?
what are your siblings like?
what is the nicest thing that somebody’s done for you?
what was the best christmas/birthday gift you’ve ever gotten?
what’s the most extreme sport you would do?
when did you really start believing in [religion, political view, green movement, etc.]?
what’s your favorite movie and why?
if you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
what’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make?

there’s a few i could think of right now. it’s easy for a conversation to stall, so i wouldn’t worry about that. it’s hard to think of something new all the time. asking questions back and forth can be fun and you learn about each other. maybe you get a simple answer, or maybe you open up a whole can of worms. you find yourself learning things about the other person, and sharing things about yourself, that you would never have thought of to bring up on your own. let your curiosity get the better of you - sometimes simple questions lead to more complex questions. your conversation can go anywhere - deep, flirty, fun, romantic, comical.
enjoy. :)

Ask him out on a date and go to the movies, saketing, go out for lunch…try not to talk too much over text wait till you can talk face to face. Soon he will be the one wanting to talk over text. And then it won’t be hard to make a conversation
