Dear Carol

How to chat with your BF (without using gadgets)


 
My boyfriend is really sweet, funny and hot. But he barely talks to me in person, and he flirts with other girls. Online, he tells me I'm the only one he likes. I don't want to break up with him. But we don't talk, we only IM or text.
 

Dear Silence Isn't Golden,

Some couples are better at typing or texting than talking. But it can be frustrating if you can't seem to make conversation face-to-face--especially if he's flirting with other girls. Can you plan topics ahead (movies, holiday plans, that upcoming English presentation) and power through the shyness? If not, having a BF you can't talk to isn't as fun as gabbing with girls, is it? If this romance isn't working, you can try to change it or end it.
