How easy is it to grow bored or to have nothing to say on the phone?

[mintblossom]

with each other? we've been talking on the phone for more than a month since he's temporarily away. this past week we talked almost everyday for an hour or two......i feel a little bored so i'm giving it a rest today.

 

what do we do when we run out of words? is this normal?

 

i mean, im not bored with him....but i am pretty bored of it in general. and we don't have to call or text everyday right?

Sometimes you run out of things to talk about. Nothing out of the ordinary happened that you want to talk about, all pressing matters are out of the way.

 

If you've been talking for a couple hours a day, you're just out of things to say. No big deal.

 

I could never talk to someone every day. Not enough happens that needs to be talked about.

Keep it short and sweet.

I just already discussed this topic in a thread I started:

So it's okay to just pull back and give each other some space right?

[MadGenius]

Yeah! Call him back in two days and see how his vacation is going. It's not like your leaving him.

I talk to my husband maybe 5 minutes at a time while he is on the road. We may talk 3 or 4 times a day sometimes. If something exciting is happening, more than that.

 

You will burn yourself completely out trying to stay on the phone that much. I don't care who it's with or how crazy you are about them. I mean, there are so many things to get done in a day. It's just too demanding of your time.

 

Well, that's my two cents.

Agreed. Instead, just call every other day. Or if you want to keep in contact everyday, text each other or call for a few minutes to say hello. No need to talk for hours everyday, that can get pretty boring and exhausting, its unecessary. Maybe here and there those conversations are okay, but for the most part...brief and sweet.

Cool, glad to know that that is ok... Sometimes I think that there is just not enough similar interests there, or chemistry, and get a bit sadden by the silences...

well, i hate the phone. anything over 5 minutes is too long for me. i don't have to talk to my gf everyday.

I just read a letter I had written to an ex of mine, he was upset because I had nothing to say on the phone when he had been away for awhile.

 

Anyway, I had explained to him that it wasn't because I was bored or had nothing to say at all.... but just that I was missing him and wished I could talk with him in person. My silences were comfortable silences and I wasn't upset or anything like that.
