How can I have deeper conversations?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I just started long distance because I‘m doing a semester abroad. I don‘t wanna just always ask „How was your day?“ I wanna have more meaningful conversations but I don‘t know what kind of questions to ask so it doesn‘t seem random or forced. How can we have deeper conversations and do you have other advice? We‘ve only been together for 1 month and I can‘t see him for 6 months and I‘m so scared to lose him. Any advice would be so helpful to me thank you <3

Hey what was the most fun thing you did today? What was the worst thing that happened to you today. Long distance is relationship death 6. months you have a chance. Longer and it's not going to work out..

[Asker]

ok thanks ! it‘s actually more like 5 months. can this work?

Find an online game or some shared project that you can do together. Maybe it’s for charity, could be a fantasy football team. If you need to put effort weekly or more into the activity that lets you stay connected and conversation is less forced.

[Asker]

thank youu ! do you know any games like this that he would probably like?

[BarryLiverstone]

Nope. But that’s up to you to ask him. Find out what he’s interested in and if he doesn’t know then maybe a friend of you all would know. You can learn together

[BarryLiverstone]

by the way I know of games that people play. I just don’t know you nor your boyfriend so can’t say what he likes. What do you think based on knowing him so far?

[Asker]

thank you for helping me ! i know that he plays valorant and clash royale and i don‘t really know anything about games tbh haha

[BarryLiverstone]

You are welcome. Those sound like action based games vs strategy. If you don’t know much about games is there something else you share as a common interest with him?

[Asker]

music and spirituality

[BarryLiverstone]

If that’s all you have in common, you can explore and find more things

[Plugs]

Why do u like him

[cora1]

Be yourself, don’t force it. Maybe try to do more unique new activities together that will naturally give you more things to talk about.

[Asker]

thanks ! do you have examples for unique new activities?

[cora1]

It would depend on where you live but many activities are free, outdoor activities live roller skating, or exploring a new city and walking downtown, or indoor activities like puzzles. Paid activities can be like taking a painting class together.

[BarryLiverstone]

The asker mentioned they are going to be long distance for 6 months. Did you mean they do these activities together over the phone?

[cora1]

@BarryLiverstone oh I am sorry, I did not realize that. That is difficult then, maybe try FaceTiming and watching a movie together. Or talking about what you did that day.

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya, your ideas would have helped if they lived in the same city. But I was wondering after she mentioned the LDR. Movie together works and they can discuss it after; could even shop for the same ingredients and try to cook the same meal together and compare how each one comes out

[cora1]

@BarryLiverstone good idea! I would have thought LDR was easier, but now I see what kinds of things people run into. The cooking together is a great idea though!!

[Asker]

thank you for your recommendations <3 your suggestions really inspired me, maybe him and i could both go for a walk while we are facetiming/calling or watching movies but it‘s also difficult because we have a time difference of 6 hours :(

If you want deep conversations ask him those questions you really want to know about him.

As your friendly neighborhood relationship maestro, I'm here to sprinkle some spice on your long-distance love life! Keep it exciting by sharing random, deep questions like "What's your dream adventure?" or "What are three things that make you happy?". Dive into each other's passions and dreams. 💬 Don't fear sexting or love notes; surprise him with sweet, unexpected messages. You're building a connection bridge over time zones, romance-style! 🚀

This is very forced, but some researchers developed a list of questions to help strangers connect.

[Sal_Monella]

Think through politics, religion and sex. Pick one and dress up a question.

[Ariesman81]

Ask him if he got his daily dose of titties.

[contentious]

Tell him Johnny Deeper jokes...

[In_Trance]

So then ask him what you really want to ask him
