Me and my partner are in a relationship and we are both socially awkward. Sometimes we have time periods where we don't really talk. Sometimes I fear I'll lose them because of this.. Any of you have this issue before? Know any ways to help improve the situation?

Thanks

Maybe try replacing the silent moments with a cuddle, or a kiss. Gestures like that….words dont need to be spoken

Silent times are very normal in relationships - are you referring to times when you aren't together for awhile or not talking when you are together?

I am in a long distance relationship. Guess I'm referring to the times when we both don't know what to talk about.

How do you usually communicate? Phone calls? Texting? Skype?

[LaBlueness]

Mostly texting and sometimes phone calls

If there is nothing to talk about it is a bad sign. I am not socially awkward but my BF is a bit plus he has some MI that sometimes makes communication difficult. We never have nothing to talk about. Life is too short to date people you have nothing to say to. Are you these way when together too? When face to face ?

Do you all have a common interest that can make you feel more connected - a hobby you enjoy and can discuss like reading? Or playing the same video game?

Do you look forward to receiving and sending texts/calls? If you find yourself dreading the encounter, maybe the long distance is not healthy or perhaps you aren't compatible. xo

Something I might recommend is taking turns asking questions about each other to learn stuff you might always be wondering about. No seriously, say, "Hey, want to take turns asking questions about each other?" It's fun.

Learn more about her interests and hobbies. Write them down if you need to. Try them out yourself and see if you enjoy them.

Maybe try watching a movie or TV series at the same time, you can talk about the different parts and the ending afterwards.

Find a phone game you guys can play against each other...you can brag when you win and she can brag when she wins.

That's what I'm thinking of right now,let me know if you want any more ideas.

I'm socially awkward but still have things to talk about with the few people with whom I'm somewhat close. It sounds like the two of you are not socially anything. There is a difference between being shy or fumbling with words, and having nothing to talk about with someone most of the time. Chemistry creates a sort of magnetic social attraction where two people can talk about their day and their thoughts and enjoy it. If that chemistry isn't there, then it's like talking about your day with a stranger, which most people don't do.

If you both want to become less socially awkward, sharing in that desire to change will inspire you to study self-development in that area together. It could be the start of a wonderful new experience for you!

Silence is ok when your watching a movie. And some silence for no reason might mean your comfortable with each other. Joke around with him all the time. Get his attention.

What do you do when you two meet? Do you actually meet? We had a lot of posts lately from people in relationships yet they have never met each other and don't plan to
