OK. You have run of things to say; what do you do?
Once you’ve been with your partner for 5 minutes, it can sometimes feel like you’ve talked about everything.
Now, you feel like you have nothing creative or exciting left to say — and the silence is not just awkward but deafening. So, what do you do next?
Here are eight ways to light up the conversation, even if it feels like you’ve already talked about everything.
1. Talk About The Past
It’s not what you’re thinking. The past is a good source of good stories. Delve deeper and share your childhood secrets or family stories.
2. Tell Each Other Exactly How You Feel
Ask how your partner feels, in the moment. What’s bothering them? The more open and honest you are, the better your relationship will feel.
3. Share Random Thoughts
This doesn’t mean talking just for the sake of talking. Instead, you could speak of your daydreams, thoughts, concerns, etc. Bring it all to the surface.
4. Chat About A New Hobby
Find a new hobby to enjoy together, and you can both talk about it.
5. Make Each Other Laugh
Joke around with each other and making witty observations. Chances are you did this all the time when you first started dating, so don’t stop.
6. Talk About Books & Movies
Reading a book or seeing a movie together and then having mindful conversations can be a great way to talk about something other than the day-to-day.
7. Get Real About Money
The thing about money is that it’s the type of conversation you can keep having, and it never gets stale.
8. Learn To Be OK With Silence
Enough said, don’t feel pressured to talk 24/7 if you or your partner don’t want to. Once in a while, it feels nice to just stare and smile.
There will be moments of silence in your relationship, as well as moments of great conversation. Find a balance, and you’ll never run out of things to say.
