Is it wrong to not have natural flowing conversations with your partner?

[Anonymous]

We’re not dating but most of the times it’s hard to hold a conversation. Normally I can hold a decent conversation with others but with him we talk about the same old thing. Work, games, sex, working out, gossip or whatever happens to bother us. We attempt to expand our conversations by asking questions be it personal, philosophical or just random asks. Those always get answered and that’s that. We know it’s an issue but not sure how to overcome it. At best, we have group conversations but normally I fall off and end up the quiet one in the background while friends take over. I’m extremely introverted and he’s pretty extroverted.

It sounds typical to me. Woman likes to talk and continue on and on while guy wants to answer give data and not harp on it or kill it to death..,

We both fall silent. Even if I’m with him alone it’s silence. He’ll ask me to talk and I won’t know what to say

If it was him I would tell him to memorize Corny animal jokes to fill the quiet moments and make her laugh. In this case I’m going to say memorize one and tell it. NOW, after you laugh together you are to say, “ it’s your turn next week…find a good one because I’m looking forward to laughing with you again. Try that…
