How can I make telephone conversations with my boyfriend more interesting?

I'm bad on the phone too. We just leave the phone for when we make plans, and have actual conversations face to face. If you're in a long distance relationship and need to communicate this way, talk about your day and then use the events to spark up conversations on your thoughts about certain topics.

Ask him what are his likes and dislikes for future reference. If you cant get your conversational skills fired up with him before too long it probably isnt a good idea to stay dating him. I mean one of the key things in a good relationship is communication but if you just met him too there wouldnt be a whole lot to talk about so i would at least give it a little time. Try asking about siblings or if there are any nicknames he has or tell him a joke. Maybe try loosening him up a little so he will not hold back and feel comfortable. You could even try telling him something outrageously stupid you've done we've all had our moments maybe then he wont feel silly about telling you his that might spark a really interesting conversation. Hope this helps

If you think he is bored when your talking about a certain subject then change it up.  Talk about something that he likes or maybe sometimes you talk so much that there just isn't anything to talk about

Tell him that you need more respect and that if he loves you, he'd give it to you. Tell him also where you are when you are chatting so that he may understand your situation.

Talk about anything that pops up in your head. Talk about your day, what you guys are gonna do when you meet up later, the last book you read, the last movie you saw, tell each other jokes, recent news, recent gossip, music, the pollution problem, sporks, your favorite foods, etc. Basically just go with the flow. Sort of like playing 'Telephone'. You know how 'Telephone' is played right?

tell your bf but keep the number and call. check it out, maybe theres some things you two need to talk about.

If he'll be living close by, I'd suggest setting up a time once a week or something for you guys to spend time together, and don't let ANYTHING get in the way of it. Phone calls work too, but nothing beats actual physically being together.

Um, phone sex? That's what I do with my current interest when we get bored on the phone. And usually, it's pretty hot!\n\nIf you want to keep things clean, maybe you could read up on current events and use an interesting one as a springboard for a philosophical conversation/debate.

hi,  what you could do before you make that phone call, is to   sit down with a pen and paper and   make a few notes on what you would like to say and how best to say it..  she will never know you have a little cheat sheet in front of you  and it   will give  you a reference   if you get tongue tied ! ... you might want to     write down a few  notes such as   something about school  / mutual friends or interests  movies /TV shows  etc..    to start the conversation going..  example = " hi ______  this is _____   (if your in school and have the same class) =  I was wondering if you knew   what pages we were suppose to do for homework, I forget to jot it down "..etc... then branch out in to  any current event / TV show  movie etc... ask her if she saw it /liked it.. etc...    or  if she would like to see  a movie with you  or grab  a bite to  eat etc..  good luck !

Yes, you have successfully overanalyzed this.  My husband always sounds horribly angry when I call him.  He isn't.  And most of the time he is glad I called (unless it was to nag him about something)  He has never been great at talking on the phone.  Some guys just don't know what to say to a voice on the other end of the reciever, despite that its their girlfriend, wife, mom, or Jesus himself on the other end.  And that's fine.  Relax.  You'll be fine.

don't stress about it.  You should never sit around waiting for the phone to ring.  Go out and do something for yourself.  Go shopping or to a movie and get your mind of this.  Interact with people you haven't hung out with in awhile because of him.  When he's ready to talk he'll call.  Don't let your whole world be around him.  If he needs to find himself, let him.  Be there for him when he's ready to talk.  Take this time yourself to think about your relationship, have things ready to talk about when he's ready.

Write to each other often.  Learn how to use the internet phone, if you don't already know (it's cheaper than phone calls).

Talk things that are sensible and interesting so that he would stay focus

My G/F and I live many miles apart. We can only get together on weekends, so that means during the week, we tie up the phone lines all the time. We have no problem talking on the phone.\nWe talk about everything under the sun and act as though we are in the same room together.\nJust start talking and if it's the right person, holding a conversation will not be a problem.

What do I like to talk about. What am I interested in?\n\nMe.\n\nAsk guys about themselves. Listen. When it's your turn to talk, tell him about your feelings, be honest, but make your point and stop. Then ask him questions about things he's talked about and listen some more.
