How to keep up a phone convo your crush

Check these out, too...

I never know what to talk about when talking to my crush on the phone! I've tried to talk about things we have in common, but it always ends in an awkward silence. Any ideas?

Hey babe, sometimes it is tough to talk to guys on the phone. There are very few who know how to keep up a good convo, which puts a lot of strain on us girls. So, one thing you can try is to only call your crush when you know there’ll be something for you two to chat about. Did he just get back from a trip to the beach with his fam? Ask him how it went. Or maybe you’ve been saving up and finally got yourself a sweet longboard. So describe it to him, and see if he wants to come over and check it out sometime.

The trick is not to call your cutie all the time. If you’re checking up on him too often, of course you’re gonna run out of things to talk about. Leave a few days in between so that even if he’s being a bum this summer, you can still give him the deets on all the excitement that you’ve got going on. And don’t be afraid of talking too much – tell him what’s happening in your life because you never know what topic is gonna spark his interest, or maybe give you an idea of a question to ask him.

If you’re just dying to call your guy, but it hasn’t been that long since you last talked, that’s okay, too. Remember that not every phone call has to be super-lengthy. So check in with him, but have an excuse ready so you can hop off the phone before the silence sets in. That way, you’ve reminded him that you exist, and you can leave some topics for the next time you wanna hear his cute voice.

Ok so I met this guy at camp and the week after, we were texting and he asked me out. We've texted a bunch and stuff, but I want to Skype him. But if I skyped him I have no idea what I would do on Skype! Help?

Hey girlie,

Talk about what you would normally talk about in texts! What you did that day, the music you're listening to, etc. Try watching a TV show or movie "together" (on at the same time for each of you) and then share your reactions on Skype. There's all sorts of ways you can use Skype to get to know him better!

hi so I'm in love with my bgf and he likes me back, we are interested in dating but both of us are too shy to further our relationship. Also, our parents disprove of teen dating so we both don't know what to do. Is dating at a young age bad? I don't comprenhend...

Hey girlie,

Dating at a young age isn't necessarily "bad," but parents have all sorts of reasons for not approving - mostly, it has to do with the teens moving too fast and getting too wrapped up in the relationship, because it's one of their first ever. Which kinda makes sense! Dating can be fun and a great way to build confidence, try new things, and open up to new people. But it's tough because it depends on your agreement with your parents - if they don't approve and you'll get into trouble if you do date, then you gotta hold off and respect their decision. If you want to date, try talking to them and see what their concerns are. Maybe you can compromise so you can get the "dating age" lowered in your house or you can date if they meet him first, for example. <3 Communicate with them in a mature way and see what they're thinking!

MOD! Help, I'm so confused. Okay so when I was younger, there was this guy (my bro's friend) and we used to see each other every week. But cos he was my bro's friend we didn't talk much. Then he moved away and he and my bro grew apart but we all caught up every few months. I added him on FB and he accepted. Then in Feb we were chatting on FB and he asked 4 my number (2 continue talking). We ended up txtng every other day, just joking and having fun. Then I saw him when I was out with my friends and he looked like he wanted to say hi. But I ignored him, hoping that he would come up to us (stupid right?). He didn't. Then I txtd him a couple of days later to catch up - no reply. That was 2 months ago and when I txtd him 2 wks ago still no reply. Now I'm really worried that I have lost him for good and I miss him so much. Is it possible that he nvr wantd 2 b friends? How can I get him 2 tlk 2 me again? Please help me...

Hey girlie,

He definitely wanted to get to know you at some point - he wouldn't have asked for your number or texted you so much if he didn't! Maybe he didn't like the fact that you ignored him, or maybe he just changed his mind. (Guys are just like girls - they can decide to act different, like someone different, stop talking/start talking to someone, etc.) It's kinda tough to tell, but I would give it another week and try Facebook chatting him again. (It's a little more instant.) If you don't get a response or he acts weird, try to distance yourself. After that many tries, you'll have to trust that he's giving you a hint - that he doesn't actually want to get closer as friends anymore I know it's not fun to realize that, but you don't want to push it and give off a crazy vibe. So give it one more try and see what happens. If he doesn't write back, try to remember you had a great time getting to know each other and that, sometimes, this happens. It doesn't mean you did anything wrong - it's all about timing and sometimes these things just don't work out <3
