heheh i know this sounds stupid, but whenever me n my b/f are alone 2gether, its like we dont talk much, and we feel really akward, like were forced 2 be hangin out 2gether.. which def. isnt the case tho. i mean, i try 2 be all outgoing and stuff, but i feel like he doesnt even wanna talk even tho its awkward in the car.. any ideas 2 get rid of the akward silences besides bringing up random convos? cuz i already do that... he just answers my question, then doesnt expand on it.. and im always the one askin Qs about his life.. he never asks about mine in person... see, hes a totally different person online than in person.. when hes IM'ing me, he talks like hes happy 2 be with me, and flirts alot, but i dont think he feels comfortable around me yet cuz we only been goin out 3 weeks.. help anyone?

Fish answered Monday July 26 2004, 8:43 pm: It's only been three weeks so slow down. Sometimes people don't transition well from friend to boyfriend (or friend to girlfriend) and it's awkward for them. He's trying to find out where he stands in the relationship, so don't pressure him so much. Sometimes people are also just weird with different forms of communication. For example, I'm completely fine in person and online, but I'm really awkward on the phone. There isn't really an explanation for it, it's just the way things are. So if it makes you uncomfortable, talk to him about it and find out what the issue is. Just make sure you don't sound like you're accusing him- he'll only get defensive and it'll make things worse.

Siren_Cytherea answered Monday July 26 2004, 6:07 pm: Tell him what you just told us; that your conversations always seem to die, and you'd really like to be able to talk to him, but he never really...talks. Explain to him what's going on in your head right now, and see if you two can't fix the situation.
Start the relationship with communication! Talk, talk, talk! Lol.
It might be that he's a little uncomfortable with you. Three weeks isn't too long a time.
I hope I helped!

Try not asking the questions for once. Just let him ask you.
Hello180 answered Monday July 26 2004, 3:55 pm: Awkward silences happen. It happens to me on the phone all the time, I like being in person or online because in person theres always something to comment on or you could just start cuddling or something, making out, making babies- maybe not this one after 3 weeks, but I've had sex sooner so if you want to, go for it. He sounds fairly shy so try doing something kind of out there every now and then. Like say you wanna fight, like actually stand up and start punching at him. Make sure he knows you want to just wrestle and mess around and your not actually looking to kick his ass. If he's shy like I think he is then you'll have to wrestle him onto a sofa or something and then procede to tongue wrestle. Sorry I meant watch a movie. Anyways whatever floats your boat, or just stand up and go over and start unbuttoning his shirt without even saying a word, this always gets my attention.
