Me and Steven have been together for 18 months and I still cannot talk to him on the phone. I am always quiet even when he is talking about something I love. I don't know what to do about it. When I am with him I talk about anything and everything, but I cannot seem to talk on the phone.:( He doesn't get mad about it or anything he always tries to get me to talk but I just cant. I can talk to my friends and family, well my dad is really the only person I talk to on the phone, but not Steven. Do you have any advice?

I think that is normal. The phone is impersonal and many people find it hard to talk on it.
Maybe I-M's would be better for you. I know I do a lot better doing I-M's than I do talking on the phone. With I-M's too you can include links to interesting websites that you can share.
I think it is a lot easier.
If you can I-M him find something on this site that he would get a kick out of and send it to him.

He doesn't have a computer or a phone of his own, he uses his roommates phone.

If you see each other that often maybe that's the reason there's not much left to say on the phone?

Can you two talk on the phone while looking at one another. It sounds silly, but it's fun. I had the opposite problem, talking on the phone was easy. Then a boyfriend called me from around the corner, in my own house. When he showed his face I couldn't talk. Then he hid around the corner and I talked to him.

simoneaugie: I just imagined the talk-around-the-corner bit and couldn't stop laughing for some time. But hey, whatever works.
Lovinglynn: do you know why you can't talk? Do you feel nervous, bored, or just not have anything to say?

Is that your personality?
