midori Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 If you've known this guy for a while, then surely the two of you have some things in common. What would you talk about with him if you weren't together as a couple and you weren't attracted to him? If you can't interact with him on a friendly level, there's not going to be anything to support your relationship. Music? Movies? Current Events? What are your opinions on these things? Gossip about people you know in common? (that's always fun!). Trying to develop interest in things that you think he's interested in is all right, but if you eclipse your own interests in the process, you'll become a much less interesting person.

Tony T Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I'd say that if your boyfriend isn't able to get a conversation going and maintain it with his own skills, the problem is his. I've been out with some pretty silent people but by asking them questions, beginning new topics, etc. I was able to get them babbling endlessly. Don't take so much of the pressure yourself. If this guy's a real bore, exactly what do you see in him for you to be interested in dating him. He's 22 years old for Pete's sake. If he can't talk and you stay with him, you just better start enjoying lonely silence. I'm not saying it wouldn't be real nice if you kept conversation going yourself....but your guy ought to know enough about the world the keep the pockets of silence filled with some kinds of sounds.
