    Are we growing apart?
    I don't really know how to ask this question because I can't really understand it myself but here goes... lately I've found that me and my boyfriend can't really hold a long conversation on the phone, when were together its fine and we can't stop but on the phone its like we don't have anything to say to each other I'm wondering if we growing apart but its only when we taking on the phone I feel like that, I know its weird an I don't know what to make of it, I've started to ask myself if we should really be together.
    Am I over reacting??

    You could be over reacting, some people just don't like phone conversation.

    Are you guyz in a long distance relationship. If this is a long distance relationship and you guyz talk everyday, maybe you really have run of things to say. Rather than talking everyday talk to him every other day.

    How often to you see each other?

    How often do you talk over the phone, and how old are you and how long have you been seeing each other?

    That sounds normal, unless I'm wrong too.

    Phone conversations are boring no matter who I talk to. I only have long ones if I rarely see the person, and that person is almost always my best-bud of 15 years.

    I'd rather talk face-to-face, especially with a woman. Most guys I know feel the same way.

    Yeah, you are overreacting.

    I would say more information is needed... but as far as the phone thing goes... I would prefer text... I can cut down on at least 15 minutes of meaningless conversation by saying exactly what it is I want to say over 1 text... just me though.

    About 2-3 times a week

    Try seeing each other more often and talking less on the phone, eye contact is essential to a great conversation

    I'm not sure how long you have been together, but eventually the other person knows you so well there is not much to talk about anymore.

    If you are having a good relationship when you are in person, then there is no problem. I, for one, am not a big phone talker.

    I agree with an earlier post... take a day off from calling. I see my boyfriend on weekends and we are terribly inseparable. But during the week, we don't talk on the phone much. If something exciting happens, maybe we'll call the other, but otherwise everything else can wait until we see each other.
    My boyfriend and I are soulmates and do not need the constant attention of each other. He once told me that his ex used to call him up everyday and it made him feel suffocated. She still calls him every once in a while, and thinks they are still "good friends" because they talk on the phone. The phone calls are totally one-sided, my boyfriend puts up with her small talk phone calls because he feels it helps her emotionally.
    It's your call.
