Whether you are in a long-term relationship or just started seeing someone, conversation is key. You want to make sure that you are getting to know each other and that you are keeping the lines of communication open. Communication in a relationship is essential in any relationship.
Depending on how well you know your boyfriend, some of these conversation starters may be more or less relevant. But there is something for everyone on this list to make your boyfriend happy!
1. Ask him about his day
This is a great way to start a conversation. You can ask him what he did, what he is working on, or just share a little bit about your day. It’s an easy way to get the conversation going, and it can be a great way to find out more about him.
However, you don’t want to interrogate him. Just ask genuine questions and let him share what he wants to share. You can always ask more questions if something sparks your interest.
2. Ask him about his hobbies and interests
If you want to know more about your boyfriend, ask him about his hobbies and interests. This is a great way to learn more about him and to see if you have any common interests. Maybe you discover some hidden talents, or maybe you just learn more about what he enjoys doing in his spare time.
Also, almost everybody loves to talk about themselves and their passions - so this is a great way to get him talking! Just make sure you are actually interested in what he has to say.
3. Talk about your favorite things
If you can’t think of anything to talk about, talk about your favorite things. This is a great way to get him to open up and share more about himself. It can also be a way for you to learn more about what he likes and doesn’t like.
Plus, it’s always fun to discuss your favorite things with someone else! You can share your favorite books, movies, foods, etc. and see what he has to say. By sharing your favorite things with your boyfriend, you are building a foundation for future conversations.
4. Talk about current events or issues that are important to you
Discuss your thoughts and feelings on important topics, such as politics or social issues. This is a great way to get to know your boyfriend better and to see where his opinions lie. It can also be a good way to start heated debates (in a good way!).
However, you want to make sure that the conversation stays respectful. You may not always agree with each other, but you should be able to have a civil conversation about important topics.
5. Share memories from your past
Sharing memories from your past and talking about what you learned from them can lead to a meaningful conversation. This is a great way to get to know your boyfriend on a deeper level and to see if you have any shared experiences.
Talking about your past can also be a way to build intimacy. By sharing these memories with your boyfriend, you are telling him that he is important to you and that you trust him. So, if you are looking for a deeper conversation, this is the way to go.
6. Talk about your goals for the future
Talking about your goals for the future can help you to see if you are compatible. When you discuss your goals with your boyfriend, you are essentially asking him if he wants the same things as you do. This can be a great way to find out if he is someone that you want to pursue a relationship with.
It’s also a great way to get to know each other better. By talking about your goals, you are telling him about your plans for the future, and he is telling you about his plans for the future. This can be a really informative conversation.
7. Exchange compliments with each other
This will make both of you feel good, and it can lead to a more intimate conversation. Giving and receiving compliments is a great way to make someone feel special. It can also be a way to build intimacy in your relationship.
When you give your boyfriend a compliment, make sure that it is genuine. For example, you could say, “I really appreciate how considerate you are” or “I love your sense of humor.” By giving genuine compliments, you are showing your boyfriend that you care about him and that you appreciate him.
8. Tell each other jokes or funny anecdotes
This can be a great way to lighten the mood and get rid of any awkwardness. Telling jokes or funny anecdotes is a great way to make both of you laugh. If you have a similar sense of humor, this can help to strengthen your relationship. Laughter is an important part of any relationship, and it can help to bring you closer together.
If you are not into jokes, you can also share funny memes or videos with each other. How about a funny cat video to get started?
9. Reminisce with your partner
Just a few things can bond two people more closely than shared memories. When you reminisce with your boyfriend, you revisit not only old memories but also create new ones together.
Reliving past experiences can make you feel nostalgic and happy, and it can also help you get to know each other better. So next time you have a lull in the conversation, bring up a funny or memorable moment from your past. Chances are, your partner will have some great stories to share too.
10. Ask each other personal questions
This can help you to get to know your partner better. When you ask each other personal questions, you are essentially revealing intimate details about yourself. This can be a great way to get to know your partner better and to see if you have any shared interests or values.
However, you want to make sure that you are both comfortable with answering personal questions. If one of you feels uncomfortable, then it’s best to skip this topic.
Here are some questions that you could ask:
- What was the most embarrassing moment of your life?
- Have you ever shoplifted?
- What’s your biggest fear?
- What did you want to be when you were a kid?
- What does love mean to you?
- How would you describe yourself in three words?
- How would you describe me in three words?
It’s important to make it a habit to talk to your boyfriend on a regular basis. This will help to keep your relationship strong, and it can also help to prevent any misunderstandings. By talking to each other about a variety of topics, you will get to know each other better, and you will be able to build a strong foundation for your relationship. So don’t be shy; start talking!
