Well ive been going out with my gf for about 2 years now.. and just as we started going out, she moved to dubai:( Anyway she comes back over 4 times a year, and every time we see each other, our conversations are really boring, and we never know what to say to each other. I can never keep a conversation going and its really boring lol I would of broken it off, but shes really in love with me, and it would hurt her. I really like her too... Its just we suck at talking to each other lol Anyway we can show more interest in each other??

thats a small problem between you and your GF because the point is you still love each other..i suggest that you solve your problem by being open to her that you are not interested on her topic when you talk..than share some suggestion to make it interesting again...dont make this small problem of yours end your relationship

this is because you talk to much with each other reduce talking too much with each other and also about yourself try to increase the scenarios on which you talk try to include other person in it. While together try to enjoy the moment when you are together to speak every time is not necessary some time silence speak a lot then words.

well thats no problem at all......talk about things which you should have talked with her if you were on phone or chatrting on net.....talk about things that you like to talk to a normal friend....when you behave like this your girlfriend will surely like it.just try it good luck

take her to a movie, ask your friends to play some type of pranks on you when she is around, tell her how much you mean to her, take an egg and make a small hole through a needle,, drain out all the inside stuff, then take a small syringe full of water and clean the inside of the egg thoroughly. put some colorful ribbons and other dazzling stuff inside the egg carefully and the next time you see her, just smile and crash the egg on her head. :D dont try to be like a "man" like you see in cowboys movies.that is freakin until you are ridin a horse hahaha just keep it easy and not too hard. think her as your local friend and not a divine girlfriend. Other ideas inclue, playing a random music and askin her to sing along and recording her music secretly and playing it back and back until she becomes irritated :D and if u want to have a talk, take her to a very lonely and elevated place (like a hill top-type place from where u can see most of your city)..donot tell her about going to the hilltop from first. just give her a sign that you are just goin to a movie or something like that. kiss her under the blue moon ;) tell her how much she means to her and add some cheesy lines..but donot copy stuff from romeo and juliet hahahaha i hope that helps lol

I think you guys have lost the passion between each other, maintain long distance relationship is not easy, you said that she loves you very much, but you don't say that you love her, you say that you "really like her", if you don't love her, let her go, don't be with her for mercy or something like that

Hi friend. Long distance relationship is hard. I guess you got to have constant communication with each other. It is just fortunate that nowadays, we have all sorts of communications aside from the traditional letter sending. We now have e-mail, SMS, chat and more. This medium could make the relationship going eventhough you are far away with each other. I think more details of what is happening with the two of you will be of help. It just have to be consistent. The conversations when you see each other if she is around is an entirely different adjustment. From my experience, joking and telling some funny anecdotes would be very effective. It would sort of break the mirror and loose things up. In that way you can discuss matters lightly and you will more things to talk about. I hope that these simple tips could make some wonders. I wish you all the best. You will not last for two years if it is not true love. You are definitely on the right track. Regards

Hi belcherguy, I'm also kind of worried about this exact same thing. My conversations with my BF are a total slack most of the time. To think, we lasted for 5 years. I also have plans to go abroad so when that time comes, our means of communication will of course be through telecommunications or internet. We have so much fun when we are physically together but when we are away it's just boring. First good thing is that, you are not alone in this. Your GF also probably feels the same way but just can't admit it. I really can't give a solid advice right now. I'm as lost as you are. I guess you just have to see this as a test. I know a lot of long distance relationships rekindling their feelings for each other when they see each other again. Be patient, and don;t forget to discern before every decision you make.

Well I think that if you're having problems talking with her then that could mean a lot of things. Either you don't have anything in common anymore, or you have just lost interest. To keep up a healthy relationship with someone you need to be able to communicate. You should share everything with her, hold nothing back. Talk to her about all of this that you're feeling, and maybe the both of you can come up with a solution. Just keep your head held high and be honest with her. Things will get better once you pass this little problem.

Maybe this is happening because both of you are not used to be together physically.. Try to talk to each other more often even on the internet maybe that would help. I used to be like that with my partner but as the time passes by and as we go out more often i develop pretty much confidence talking to him.

I think it's normal for both of you to feel a little awkward when talking with each other since you don't see each other very often in personal. Maybe you are ashamed to tell her how you really feel about her and about your situation. But if you really want to have an interesting discussions or conversations, try to be vocal with your feelings. Try to be open to her and never hesitate to express your thoughts and ideas in relation to your relationship with one another. I am not sure if it will work because I haven't experienced this kind of situation before, and I don't even want to experience this in the future.

I think maybe you don't like her so much because if you where with your love one everything you do is not boring because you are happy being with her. And you should ask her a lot how's dubai? Are you doing well? ..... because she just go home for 4 times a year... If I was in your place I will miss her so much and I wanna know all the things that happened to her when she is in dubai. I will cherish every moment. :)

Tell her how you feel, if you feel like this she needs to know and hopefully that will put back the ragged ends of your relationship
