I'm worried about my relationship. We never have much to talk about?

Question

Please help. I've been with my girlfriend for sometime now (approximately 9 months). We are in love. In fact, the other day, she finally told me that she loves me, but I guess I just don't understand how she can love me. I am such a BORING person. I never have much to talk about, and I find that she is always initiating the conversation. I love both her and her 4 year old daughter with all my heart. I do everything with them. We go places together, we watch movies together, and we are going to Hawaii in September 08. I've asked her if she is happy, and she says "yes," but I feel like I'm going to lose her due to my dull nature. I try to talk about things, but I get tongue tied easily. My skills lie elsewhere. I just want to be able to have an open, loving relationship with her. On top of my introverted nature, I had a bad childhood where communication was not stressed. I hate being nervous around her because I love her so much. Does anyone have suggestions? Thank you!

You don't always need something to talk about. Me and my bf have been dating for 6 months and we are on the same line as you. But just because we don't have much to talk about doesn't mean that our relationship is BORING. Obvisouly you two are looking long term or else you wouldn't be talking about a trip almost 2 yrs away. . Take it from a single mom. For a mom to allow someone to get close to her and her child(ren) is something special. For her to tell you that she loves you really must mean it. SHe should understand the way that you were brought up and the reason why you don't talk that much. Hope all works out for you
