So are you saying any topic can be considered deep and stimulating..for example computers like you say.

 

Any topic can be deep. Like I said we have spent a day on discussing the smurfs! Deep is anything you are completely engaged in and the time just flys by and you realize you just spent 18 hours talking about little blue creatures

Try it! Seriously! Ask your BF what smurfette is doing with all those boy smurfs and is that why they are blue? How can that not turn into a deep convo?!

Lmao he'll probably say "I don't know" and I guess I'll have to make a rule he's not allowed to say "I don't know".

Say "Smurf that! That isn't smurfy enough, mother smurfer!"

everyone says that deep intellectual conversation is important in a relationship.

 

Only if you are a deep intellectual.

There are really some people that are not talkers, so its up to you to bring them out of their shelf. I was also in a long distance relationship, and we have to be great conversationalists really because the vital state of our relationships was dependent on us talking, so I wouldn't feel bad that you haven't established that in your relationship.

 

You should try to talk about things, he is interested in. That's still my advice to you. The computer talk if you are wondering went to how he chose his career, to his personality traits that compliment that profession and then turned to his childhood and him sharing that with me. I learned things about him and the field and he was able to unwind and distract from a busy/stressful work day.

It always bothered me that there was only one girl smurf. :laugh:

I was in a long distance relationship for 2 1/2 years with my last ex so yeah I could understand how communication would be important. We saw each other once every 2-3 months lol. My last ex talked for hours and I'd just sit there O.O

So yesterday night I talked on the phone with my bf for 2 1/2 hours. He brought up something random about paranormal things and then somehow the conversation led to relationships and then it led to his parents divorce.

 

I was asking him a lot of questions and he was answering. I asked if he felt uncomfortable talking about this stuff. He said "Can you tell or something? I just never told anyone about these kind of things before." I was really surprised...he told me he never talked to anyone about his relationships, his feelings, he never talked to anyone about his parent's divorce or that moment he saw his dad cry. When I talked to him he just realized he never talks about this stuff...I guess he never opens up to anyone. WEIRD! He said I can ask him any questions and he'll try to answer...he said it feels different having these types of conversations. So I'm basically the first person that has tried to get him to open up.

 

So I guess he's not used to it. I mean at least he's trying to open up right? O.o
