Question Posted Wednesday December 3 2003, 8:21 pm
Dear Celena,
I'm seeing a girl right now that I really like and I feel like I can tell her everything, but the thing is that sometimes I don't feel like it's mutual. It seems like she doesn't want to talk about anything very much and it makes it hard to connect. I thought that it might be because we were still early in the relationship, but it's been 2 months now and there are these uncomfortable periods of silence where neither of us can find anything to say that really make me wonder why she wants to be with me. Anyway, just looking for an outside opinion. Thanks for your help.
Signed,
Confused Sap

Celena answered Thursday December 4 2003, 8:35 am: I'm not sure you and your girlfriend are on the same page, Confused Sap. Two months is still relatively early in the relationship, however I'd say the best way to get her to open up is to ask her questions about herself. Most girls love to talk about themselves given a little prodding, but don't want to bore you with things they feel are insignificant. On the other hand, if you show interest in these things they could go on for hours. Personally, Confused Sap, I think you and your girlfriend need to sit down and have a heart to heart about this. Tell her how you feel, and that you don't feel the relationship is moving anywhere. Chances are, she's been waiting to really talk to you too. [ Celena's advice column | Ask Celena A Question ]
