Question Posted Wednesday October 12 2005, 10:44 pm
well i just started dating this kid, let's call him john, and we are always hanging all over eachother. we just blend well physically, and are always caught kissing and hugging. i love being around him because i feel loved, but when we talk on the phone or it is just me and him we have hardly any conversation going. alot of the time we are just quiet when we are alone. how bad is this? is it a big deal or just something that will fade? should i reconsider our relationship?

. . How bad is it? Well, that depends. Do you want a relationship with this guy? If you do, you may want to reconsider. Getting all cuddly is nice and all, but at the end of the day, communication is what makes relationships last.
Maybe you just don't know what to say to each other because you're nervous or you don't know where to start. I think you should go to a bookstore and pick up one of those "book of questions". These are books that are just questions to ask your friends and to start converstations. Buy one and see if you can't start a conversation with it. You can usually find them with the trivia books.
You could also both fill out one of those annoying internet survey things that ask a bunch of questions about yourself, and then talk about it.
Hope this helps. [ despite_the_radio's advice column | Ask despite_the_radio A Question ]

It appears you two enjoy the physical aspect of the relationship but have little in common in terms of communication and interests. I'm assuming your unhappy about this, otherwise you wouldn't have written this. Take a different approach to your relationship, try to communicate with him. If you find yourself in the same boat, then it's possible the relationship is based only on the physical aspect. Trust your intuition. Good luck, let me know what happens.

But maybe besides intimate relationship you feel you guys don't have personality connections and such. Ask him if he feels the same way as you do. Then work it out. If it doesn't work out, there's many other fish in the sea. [ Lilcheerdud123's advice column | Ask Lilcheerdud123 A Question ]
angelfire2708 answered Wednesday October 12 2005, 11:40 pm: well let me start by out saying, youre opening line doesnt sound like hes youre bf. KID? it sounds more like all you 2 have in common is the physical attraction going. communication is very important in a relationship, without that you really dont have much. Those type of relationships DONT last. Its obvious you dont have alot in common or you would be sharing it with 1 another! If you want to feel loved, by yourself a puppy, because i dont think this relationship is going to go very far, except maybe in the bedroom!!
Good Luck!! [ angelfire2708's advice column | Ask angelfire2708 A Question ]

There's a song, it's a country song but it's called "When You Say Nothing At All" and it describes your situation as a good thing. I don't know if you've heard it before but here are the lyrics.

Talking isn't always necessary. It sounds like you care for each other a lot. [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

Make any sense?
It will probably fade away, it's hard to talk to someone.
