Everytime I pickup my girlfriend from her place we always talk about things that happened the day before and our friends and whats been going on and the conversation lasts 20-30 minutes depending on how long it takes to get to wherever we're going. When we finally get to our friends house to hangout we normally say hey to people kind of part ways to talk to our friends for a little bit then rejoin quickly after and we just are kinda hangin out but by that time we've almost burned out all the conversation because we talked during the ride before. I know communication is one of the keys to relationships and it'll take time to get to a point to talk to her really easily about anything but any advice? Reply to this Question Share |

if the only things you ve got in common are your friends and the fact that you both did stuff apart during the day then personally i dont reckon you should be together unless the chemistry is reaaaaaaalllly good.

what you need to do is ask open questions. Open questions are such as 'what did you get up to yesterday?' these questions encourage an answer to be given in such a way that you can develop on that and soon end up talking about one subject for hours! It takes a bit of work to master but ends up good just start with a topic you feel safe with xox

Its inevitable that in relationships over a certain period of time conversation is going to dry up. What do you think married couple's or people who have been together say 10 years talk about?. The trick is feeling comfortable in each others company, if no topic of conversation has arrisen at any given point, don't stress out, just wait till something comes up, or maybe put some music on. If you both love each other it shoulden't really matter that there is not always something to say.
All the best
