AmericanHoney Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 My boyfriend and I can talk normal through aim and texts but when we see each other in person we sometimes do not talk. We literally have to grab at things to talk about. We can chat up a storm through text but in person it's a whole different story. I am a shy person so it's normal for me to be quiet but he's quiet all the time.What can we do to correct this? He never opens up personally. Link to post Share on other sites
Lauriebell82 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I think you have to practice it. Print out an AIM conversation and get together to talk about it in person. Or you can read from the conversation to each other and see that it's not so scary. you may be able to then talk about what you would on AIM or text in person. It's a LOT different texting or IMing because emotions aren't involved, you can't see body language or reactions to what they are saying. It doesn't leave you as vulnerable.

classinus Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I think this is something you should aim to "fix" before you go too far down the path with this man. You don't want to become the dinning dead, do you? At least not this early in the relationship. You should try to learn what his reservations are about opening up (may be something to do with his past?). But don't over analyze it - some people just take some time.
