Talk about the things you experienced that day. Plan on things you guys want to do in the future or just talk about what you are currently doing.

Something you wanna share about yourself with him. You can tell him about your likes, dislikes and many things like that. You can ask about his interests, hobbies etc. Rest you can talk about your day and ask about his day. There are many lil things which can be discussed between two people who're in relationship. 😊

Talk about how your days have been, or what exciting things you have coming up in either of your lives.

Every couple communicates differently and that's totally fine! There's really no general rule or restriction to phone chats so long as you're both comfortable. If speaking on the phone with your significant other is a new experience, you can always start with quick check in calls and build from there. For example, you can call to confirm a plan or follow up on something he's recently told you about, like a job interview or a test. On your end, encourage him to call you about something that's been on your mind. Eventually, you could chat for longer amounts of time and reflect on the experience together. Another tip would be to keep conversations abstract and light. Discuss the day you had, or banter about the latest episode of your favourite show that you saw that week. If either one of you ends up preferring other methods of communication, that's ok too! Comfort is key and communication can't be forced. In that regard, you can talk about anything and everything if it makes you both happy.

I would speak to him about how my day went, ask him about his day. Maybe talk about plans you may have. Also I nice thing you can do is talk about memories you have had together. This can make you both feel positive and grow your relationship tighter

You can talk about different topics with them. Some examples include- movies, music, food, the kind of future you see with them, your family, friends and school/college.

You can talk about anything and everything on the phone with your boyfriend. you can tell him if there’s anything troubling you, although i think it would be better to do that in person. you can tell him about your day and ask him about his. you can crack jokes or talk about new music you’ve heard or new films you’ve seen or new shows that have come out. just talk about your mutual interests, maybe a sports team too? if you want to go a bit deeper, you could talk about your futures together too and your hopes and dreams.

Well, there are a lot of things that we could always talk about with our boyfriend. You could always get to know him better by asking him what is his favourite snack, food move and et cetera. Other than that, we could also know him better by asking if he's okay when he's feeling down. Sometimes, you could also talk to him about yourself so that he'd understand you better for example, how outgoing is your family, embarrassing moments with your family, what you like to eat and so on. Last but not least, on the phone, you could always talk about how your day went. It not only makes them able to know how your day went but you also would let them know if your day was good or bad on a daily basis.

You can ask how his day went, what he had for lunch, did he think about you, did he call his mom regular to check on her etc.

The best way to be interesting is to be interested. Talk about his likes and interests. You hear the passion in his voice and there will likely be a topic that sparks a more in-depth conversation. Questions about childhood can always help to open up conversation pathways, but keep it light. Like what did you want to be when you grew up. Inspire them to think nostalgicly and you'll never run out of things to talk about. Movies, tv shows, books and music's are also topics that help invite interesting conversations. You can get silly and come up with some epic would you rathers. I had fun once just reading terrible pickup lines on the phone to my old beau. We laughed a lot. There's no right or wrong and perfect phone conversation doesn't exist just go with the flow and you'll know what to say.

You can talk to your boyfriend about a lot of things! Here are just a few ideas to get you started: - Favorite things (movies, songs, tv shows, books, video games, colors, snacks, brands, places, animals) - What you like about each other - Plans for when you see each other - Things you want to do together - Places you want to go together - Foods you want to try together - Funny stories - Favorite memories/ moments - How their day went - New exciting things in your guys' lives - Things you're looking forward to I hope this helps!

Every relationship is unique! It's natural to struggle with topics of conversation when trying to deepen a new relationship. Feel out the conversational style of your partner: Are they more of a talker or a listener? Don't force anyone to talk too much or take over the conversation. Ask specific questions about his day, his family, and his future plans. Share a cute or embarrassing story from your childhood with him and then ask if he has any memories like it! I love to ask people about their family, their passions, and places they'd like to travel, but you'll know some mutual interests! And something to keep in mind is that if conversation doesn't come naturally after a few tries, its possible maybe the chemistry might not be totally right for you two, which is completely okay! No need to force anything.

Anything in the world. You can talk about anything and nothing, if you trust him. You can talk about future, past, your Dreams, his dreams, your future together, Both your concepts about family. About your families, your achievements, your most embarrassing moments. Your most amazing moments, and so on. If you both trust each other with your whole heart, you can talk about anything at all on the phone. And trust me, hearing the guy talk about his interests is one of the most amazing things you'll ever hear in your life. Talk about people, things, etc. For a long time. Communication is the most important factor in building a healthy relationship.

You can talk about anything you want! Your problems, your day, how you feel. Personally I tell him how my day went and things that occurred throughout the day that distressed me. Normally I will videochat with him instead of call because it creates a stronger personal connection to the conversation than just talking through the phone. It really helps me feel better or happier when I can see his face and hear his voice. That way it's like talking in person and you can just talk about anything from what I said before to movies or make future plans to interact and see each other.

Talk about anything that makes you comfortable. Talk about how much you love him. Talk about your day. Ask him about his day. Ask him how he is doing. Tell him about the new movie you like. Let him talk. If he was sad tell him how much you love him and you believe in him. Tell him about your decisions in life. Tell him about how your younger sibling just got a date when he or she is only 7. Tell him that you miss him. Tell him about how much you care about him. Tell him about how much you are proud of him.

I would say nothing should be out of bounds when talking to you significant other. (within reason of course!) From personal experience, I try to talk about everything. I try to learn likes and dislikes in regards to what sorts of topics are interesting for them to talk about. I also like to just check in on them to see how they are. Its never a bad thing for your BF or GF to know that you actively care and are thinking about them. I mean really, just be yourself and what not.

You can talk about anything honestly. You can talk about your day, how you're feeling, any upcoming plans, any new music you've heard which you like, etc. If you find it hard to keep a conversation going or you're worried about running out of things to say, try watching the same tv-show on your own and watch the same episodes before your phone call (if that makes sense). For example, if today's Saturday and you'll be talking on the phone on Monday then you both can watch an episode of the same tv show and that gives you something to talk about and discuss when you're talking

What are some interests that you and/or your boyfriend share? Anything from shoes, to cars, or you could talk about the feelings you have for each other, they are some possibilities you could use to spark a conversation. You could always ask your boyfriend, some personality questions, of favourite colours, to his favourite place to eat food. You could even suggest that he tells you where he could take you that is romantic to enjoy the company of each other. If either of you two have a license, you could ask him to take a road trip to a place neither of you have been.

Anything and everything!! Whatever it is that you and your boyfriend talk about, make sure it's positive: Getting in fights over the phone is never a good idea. Avoid the standard “What do you do” questions. Instead, look for fun in every conversational thread. Does he talk about a tough day with customers at work? Tell him the funniest story of a customer you’ve dealt with. Does he love Harry Potter? Make fun of him for it, Admit it, you’re a closet nerd aren’t you??” Tease him for dumb things he says, “Oh god, you’re the goofiest guy I’ve ever talked too!”. It should all come across light-hearted and playful. If he gives you banter back, you know you’re doing it right. :)

Talking to someone over the phone most especially that he is my boyfriend will be somehow very exciting. It has to be like what you are in person nothing change. You can talked about anything. Maybe about life, about the past that basically you have moved on already, about the future and what are your plans? Any idea that will help you become more a better person and a partner soon. Well its because you have to know more each other. And most importantly a simple sharing of how was your day going. Is it bad? or good? It doesn't matter, as long as you are sharing your daily life with each other are all that matters.

You can talk to him about anything you wish! In my eyes, I would always want to either share something new about myself that he might not know yet, or you could even ask a few questions to him. Sometimes you may also want to vent or listen to some funny story. When in doubt, for sure, ask something or tell a funny joke! That is a great way to pick up a stale conversation and get it moving back in the right direction. Sometimes it may seem hard to come up with what to say, but don't force anything! Have fun, and enjoy your conversations.

Conversation is the key to any good relationship. There are many good topics to talk about over the phone. Anything from deep meaningful conversation such as discussing past relationships, feelings, friendships, trauma, hopes, dreams, etc. Or light conversations about your day, things going on each others lives, or listing your favorites of things (i.e. favorite colors, books, movies, animals, etc.) It is up to each individual person to learn more about the person they are dating. I personally like to start by getting to get deep with a person I am in a relationship with, I want to know what makes them who they are. But as I said before, communication is key, and it's very important to maintain that communication throughout a relationship.

There’s actually a lot of things you can talk about on the phone! You can talk about how both your days went, and you can ask questions to get to know your boyfriend more as well! For me, my boyfriend usually loves to explain about his work and I’ll ask questions when I’m curious about certain things he says. I used to have a partner who doesn’t really talk as much so I went online to find questions to ask him to get to know him more! It could range from ethical questions and just questions about his past. All the best!

You can talk with your boyfriend on the phone about everything what you are comfortable to talk. You can invite them to a date and talk futher there. You can have dating via phone and have a quality, fulfilling conversation with him. You can share your secrets if you are comfortable to do it. You can also share everything what happened to you in last days, weeks, months, or even years. You can share your best memories with him too. You can talk about everything you enjoy, sports, politics, hobbies, your job, family, ... Let's open up to him.

I think you can talk about anything as long as the both of you agree that it's okay to talk about different things. Just communicate to one another your guys limits of what to talk about. Once you guys have talked about that, I think conversations will become something both of you feel okay talking about. Communication is definitely key with this. It's also good to be aware of your surroundings. If you are around other people, you don't want to be talking about inappropriate and uncomfortable conversations. You don't want to be talking about something in a public place that isn't really something socially acceptable to talk about in public.

I spent hours during the army speaking with my boyfriend over the phone. We both were located in different bases very far away from each other and every time we had the chance to talk on the phone we would use it. There are many things to talk about and only sometimes there's an awkward silence. But it can always be filled with an ice breaker or a story. As we grow and experience things we always have something to talk about. Talk about your favorite music - if you been to concerts or festivals, talk about traveling about dreams and goals that you have. Ask silly questions, ask anything.

You could talk about your day ask him about his day fantasize what would you have done if you were with him talk about your studies friends and family or work or colleagues there are so many things to talk about you guys could tease each other and theres much more to it. just romance isnt the goal of a relations its to enjoy your time help each other in times of desperation and being available to each other when no one else is listening to each other understand each other make plans laugh together if you want something more you can ask me directly.

If you are finding it hard to keep a steady conversation with your partner you should try asking stuff about them, even the most basic of questions. Stuff like what is your favorite animal or where do you want to do when you are older. You could ask deeper things like what is the most peer pressured you have ever been or what are you looking for in life, family, kids, pets, etc. Make sure that he is asking about you, you don't want to be following a trail that has long gone dry. If he isn't curious about you he probably isn't worth it.

I mean it depends if you guys want to learn more about each other you can always ask each o t h e r questions if you are big fans of music you can talk about your favorite types of music and movies and even talk about what lies in the future if you guys have been together for a long time and even ask him what he would like to talk about so he has some say in the conversation too it's always good to start off with some nice small talk but not too much small talk (:
