nothing to talk about on the phone with my boyfriend?

Question

My boyfriend and I have been dating for awhile now, so we're past the initial getting to know eachother stage. We're in a long distance relationship at the moment and will be until the beginning of May. Everything is going well except our phone conversations. We talk every night to tell keep up with eachother's lives and talk about our day. After that we can't really think of anything else to talk about and then we start to get frustrated with eachother. It's like we've discussed everything already in a past conversation and there's really not much we don't know about eachother. I don't know what to do, is this normal? Is there anything that could help us have better conversations?

Answer 1

All relationships become a little less exciting after they've run the initial course. That said, I think speaking every single day may be the problem here -- unless you guys are extraordinarily adventurous, chances are there really won't be much to talk about every single day. Maybe you should try to reduce the frequency a little bit -- give yourselves the gift of missing each other! Maybe talk once in 3 days initially and maybe once a week on particularly busy weeks. That way you'll miss each other, have much more to share and actually look forward to each conversation.

Answer 2

Try not talking every night. Just because you are in a long distance relationship doesn't mean you have to talk every day. Call each other every 2 or 3 days and you'll see that then you'll have more to talk about because there is more to talk about. This gives you some space and you might be thinking ..."more space isn't the distance enough" Actually it makes you guys miss each other more. Try it.

Answer 3

I am in a long distance marriage and we talk twice a day if possible and we never run out of things to talk about, but that is us, some couples are not that way and if you two don't have anything to talk about don't get frustrated, just set a limit, like 30 min or 1hr, or talk every day. Don't stop talking to him, but remember what you used to talk about, I mean we still talk about the things that we did when we were just dating. It is hard, but if you are meant to be together it will be good in the end, Good Luck:)

Answer 4

Perhaps try talking to each other every other day on the phone, instead of daily. Will give you more to talk about instead of growing frustrated with each other having nothing to say.

Answer 5

Its normal, I'm going thru it now. Just keep the conversations short and sweet, then you can call him all day long when you need to ask him something or tell him something. Thats what I do.

Answer 6

I know, I hate when this happens.
Maybe just try talking about your day, even though it may not seem interesting, try it, or just tell it in a way that makes it interesting.

Also, if your in school, how your classes are going

Answer 7

i would say not to get too frustrated...usually there is a point in a relationship where there isnt anything to talk about. maybe before you talk to him, think of something interesting that you and him havent talked aout before, or something exciting that happened to you...
