Communication is the key to a strong and healthy partnership. Relationships require effort and work regardless of how long you have been together. It doesn’t matter if it’s been one, ten, 30, or 50 years, you need to communicate to keep things healthy. To be fair, everyone runs out of conversation topics from time to time. It happens to the best of us. But there are specific steps a boyfriend can take to avoid a communication breakdown.

Number one, stop talking about yourself and focus on your girlfriend. Asking her deep questions and listening will enable you to understand her better while getting her to open up more. Talking to her about her likes and dislikes will allow you to connect on a more profound level. 

To help you out we have gathered 28 things to talk about with your girlfriend that will keep the conversation going so you can avoid those awkward silences. 

28 Things To Talk About With Your Girlfriend 

Where To Start

As noted, the focus of these conversation starters is to get your girlfriend talking. These relationship questions should reveal more about her passions, personality, and inner feelings. To connect with her on a deeper level, keep the topics emotional, unique, and intimate. Not only will you learn more about your lady, but it will keep the conversation flowing and avoid those awkward silences.

Asking these questions will help you both connect in new and profound ways. You can ask everything from questions about a past relationship and filthy questions about her sex life to fun questions about what she likes doing and deep conversation starters about health and wellness. 

While the questions will lead to a deeper and stronger connection, the steps are pretty simple. Be fun, interesting, engaging, and surprising. Remember to build bridges to move to deeper conversations instead of creating roadblocks, such as one-word answers.

It is easier than you think to come up with conversation topics focusing on the girlfriend. But if you are struggling, we have come up with some fun and easy questions that’ll take the conversations with your girlfriend to the next level. 

1. Ask About Her Plans for the Future

Once the relationship is headed down a serious path, it’s essential to sit down and discuss the future. You might be on the same page in the present, but the future is entirely different. If the goal is to be together for eternity, then there should be discussions about future plans such as your living situation, children, and financial stability. 

2. Talk About Her Passions

Talking about your girlfriend’s passions in life is always a revealing conversation. Depending on the length of the relationship, you may know some of this information already. Either way, dig deeper to understand more about your girlfriend’s dreams and goals.

What are her ambitions and motivations to achieve these goals? It’ll allow you to uncover the reasons and history behind her dreams. There may have been a specific incident that led her to pursue these goals. If she isn’t quite sure what her passion is, steer the conversation toward exploring her interests and hobbies. 

3. Ask About Her Ideal Date

Throw in some romantic conversation topics as well. Maybe she’s old school and prefers a romantic dinner, dancing, and a nightcap. She might also want to change things up and do a fun activity like go for a hike, rock climb, spend a day at the amusement park, visit a drive-in theatre, or have a picnic. It’s a serious but fun thing to talk about with your girlfriend. Furthermore, make sure to ask about her ultimate dream date. 

4. Ask About Her Favorite TV Shows and Movies

6. Ask If She Believes in Aliens

Asking about your girlfriend’s day is another straightforward question that often leads to a deeper connection. It’s not a serious topic like discussing the future, but it still reveals a lot about her. Many couples use a method known as “Rose, Thorn, and Bud.” Rose represents the best part of her day, the thorn is the worst part of her day, while the bud is something she learned or a new goal.

When couples want to mix things up, they toss in “Spaghetti,” which is the oddest or weirdest thing that happened to her that day. Couples who repeat this activity daily have a great chance or leaning more about each other. 

9. Talk About Her Fears
