    How can you spark up a relationship in middle school?
    I am 12 my boyfriend is 14, he's in the eighth grade I'm in the seventh.
    We've been going out for over a month.
    I'm starting to feel like this is getting boring... I love him but when were talking we just lose things to talk about so quick, and things to do. Any ideas on what I could say to keep conversations in person or text going, and things I could do to keep that spark and fun in our relationship?

    When you run out of conversation, its usually a sign that its time to do something else. You can always ask questions about what you both like, but if you are talking everyday for long periods, you will usually get all talked out.

    Go a day or two without talking, and have other things to do.

    I truly believe it's to early at ths point in life to start anything worthwhile. A relationship started in middle school 99.999999999% of the time won't last for more than 1 year

    At that age, in order to keep the spark going, young people have to DO stuff together rather than talk talk talk. Like Tal said, after a short time, there's nothing left to talk about if you don't also fill your time with activities.

    Go bowling, watch movies together, bake brownies together at someone's house (with Mom's permission), brush the dog, clean out the kitty litter box together, read books to younger sibs, start a hobby together like watercolor painting or stamp collecting or scrapbooking or typing al kinds of knots (check out library books for these).

    When you do stuff together, you have things to talk about.
