Iniate conversation by just asking questions about her. Do something together youā€™ve never done. Play games together, make playlists and talk about your favorite music. Sometimes itā€™s nice to just sit in silence with the one you love doing your own thing just knowing your person is there. If itā€™s an issue for you talk to her about it so you can both make more of an effort to communicate.

Get out and do stuff together !! Me and my other half get super short with each other and tired we run every single day and very very rarely have time together but when we do get to go do stuff together itā€™s like I oh thatā€™s why I like you lol life is hard with kids if you donā€™t have any now :grimacing: things could get worse ā€¦ kids change everything in a good way but you have so little time with your significant other and so many stresses and worries itā€™s hard to relax and just enjoy each other company inside your stressful environment get out do something new do thing fun ā€¦ best of luck and good for you for trying

Play 21 questions in a healthy way, get to know each other on deeper levels. Where would you travel if money didnt matter, what would you go back and tell your 13 year old selfā€¦ Ect ectā€¦

Depends, do you have the same relationship goals? If not now would be the time to end it.

Experiences! Take her kayaking on the river/ocean. Go camping and make campfire food together. Use Atlas Obscura to find some really unique places near you, go on a literal adventure. Find an abandoned place and scout it for ghosts or for awesome photography. Visit old graveyards and check out the names and dates on the stones, the older the better, try to imagine who they were. Go painting together or make any kind of art together. Find a fossil hot spot and get to sifting! Youā€™ll never stop talking about your adventures! Iā€™ve done all these things with my hubby since we were teenagers and we are now celebrating 14 years.

Just curl up and enjoy each otherā€™s time. You donā€™t always have to talk about things. I enjoy just goin on road trips and listening to music. Or watchin movies. Sometimes itā€™s those quiet moments that mean the most

Take a small excursion, like a hike or fishing trip. Even just a drive. You will find plenty to talk about. Relationships take effort, life isnā€™t a Disney movie. Donā€™t give up just because the flame doesnā€™t burn like it once did.

Iā€™d suggest doing some more activities that give you more things to talk about! Go out, take a couples class, see a movie that interests you both, try a new nicer restaurant, try new hobbies together!

It can only get dull if you let it!

What is this mysterious ā€œnothing to talk aboutā€ of which you speak? Weā€™re such motor mouths in my family, I canā€™t even begin to imagine.

I listen to what the other has to say. Iā€™ve also Google deep questions or silly questions to ask someone. Then we take turns asking the question before answering. I also make a point to listen to the other person.

Do something together. Find a hobby to share together. Watch a movie or tv show together.

Break up with her so you donā€™t have to ask that question

My boyfriend doesnā€™t really talkā€¦ Like ever. But a friend of mine and I will find writing prompts and go off of those. We find fun ones like ā€œyouā€™re the only siren in your family that doesnā€™t want to lure men to their deaths how do you think life will beā€ ect.
Sometimes we make it separate and sometimes we make it a 'continue the storyā€™s type thing. Makes for some really fun conversations :sweat_smile:

:joy: do something physical instead. Lol but seriously if you canā€™t hold a decent conversation then sheā€™s probably not the one and you should just move on.

Sometime silence is a blessing. Thatā€™s where actions take over.

Sitting quietly with my lover is a supreme joy.

What is the issue. Can you not find something to talk about? Is it because you donā€™t want to bring up the hard topics? Have you decided youā€™re getting married or not? Thereā€™s a lot to this question.

Iā€™ve never had that problem.

because she wants to talk about real life not video games

Actions speak louder than words ā€¦ Hard topics are bs. A persons character is what they do ,not what they say they will.

Okay, well my boyfriend and I have been together 2 years now and we have a child who is 1. Sheā€™s a handful and that keeps us talking, however, when we donā€™t have her and we are relaxing, we tend to smoke up(if thatā€™s your thing) and we play video games, even if we arenā€™t playing the same thing. We watch movies together. We usually get on the Xbox Store to rent a movie we both have been wanting to see or that maybe we want to rewatch(theyā€™re like 3$ to rent if you have that). Find a hobby you both like doing. Walking, hiking, resin, crafting, exercise.
Now, if you havenā€™t been together very long and youā€™re already running out of things to say, donā€™t think about it. I will randomly strike a conversation that has nothing to do with anything just because itā€™s quiet, and so will my other half. Sometimes you donā€™t need something to talk about. Sometimes you just need to talk. But theyā€™re WAY TOO MANY things for you to have nothing to talk about. Honestly, it sounds pretty boring if YOU cannot come up with something, ANYTHING to talk about.

Jobs, future, animals, family, kids, heritage, houses, traveling, toys, locations, funny moments before you met, tragedies(if some are comfortable with speaking), games, movies, seasons.
There is so much to talk about, if you MUST talk about something.
Also remember, you should enjoy each otherā€™s company without having to speakā€¦ if you donā€™t quite enjoy the company of another when there isnā€™t anything to come to mind to speak about, then maybe you should rethink the relationship. If thatā€™s no option, work harder and just talk about nothing. (This should also go for the girlfriend too, not just you)

relax pour a drink and put on a show u binge together cuddle

I know this is silly but weā€™re in our 20sā€¦ i like to go on Reddit and look through the r/askreddit community & find a cool subject. Then read the replies out loud and laugh with my bf :smile:

Stfu and enjoy the company! :wink:

enjoy the silence and smile.

Try some activities out of the Adventure Challenge for Couples book. My husband and I got it for some new date ideas, but it helps provoke conversation.

Have sex, duh! Ha ha
