The Dull Phase

[Evolutionsangel]

Me and my special someone have been in a relationship for about 6 years now. We started out in high school and now we're in college, but in different provinces. My main concern is that it seems me and him have hit a bump in our relationship as our conversations are dull and quiet. Not that its awkward, but its like we have nothing to talk about most of the time. Do you guys have any suggestions as to how we can get our conversations going and keep it interesting?

Please and Thank you

Have you guys tried to add in like activities, games, movies, books that you can read together/watch?? Something you can do together like you'd do if you lived together or near??

Yeah I agree with merlinkitty. When there's nothing to talk about just dive into a game or something you can do together - the activity itself could create conversation in the future. My SO and I were playing this one game together so long I actually started to miss just talking. What is something that you and your SO like mutually? Games? Fitness? Hiking? Cooking/Baking?

Congrats of bein gin a relationships that long!

Something happens in the relationships around 6-7 years. It does become a bit dull. Then it is interesting to do various things together to create new experiences; travels, classes (we took up ballroom dancing), volenteer work (we both did it, in different NGO's and helping each other out), cooking and of course sex (most people do deveop new fantasies in the courseof 6 years). Have you done relationship questions/ 1000 questions for lovers? You might discover something new about the other person.

Additionally to the advice so far - If you got nothing to talk about, that could also mean you don't have enough to do in your regular lives. If you want to, try going to an event that interests you or pick up a new hobby. New experiences always make for good conversation material!
