Long distance relationships can sometimes feel challenging, especially when the conversation starts to dwindle and you don’t know what to talk about anymore. But don’t worry, it’s completely normal! We’re all human, and we can’t be chatting machines all the time.
To help you out, here are some fresh and exciting questions to ask your long distance boyfriend that will spark new conversations and keep the relationship alive. Additionally, we’ll explore a few topic ideas to inspire you when you feel like the conversation is coming to an end.
Keeping the Conversation Flowing
As the queen of random and silly questions, my boyfriend and I never run out of things to talk about. When we’re not discussing our day or sharing memes and videos, we dive into current events and pop culture. I often tease him about peculiar aspects of American culture, just to keep things interesting.
However, we also make a point to delve deeper and discuss our true feelings. Whether we’re struggling with something specific or just need to vent, having meaningful conversations helps us understand each other better.
But let’s not forget that it doesn’t always have to be serious. Funny questions can reveal a lot about a person’s personality. These questions can help you discover new aspects of your long distance boyfriend while sharing a laugh together.
