Tips to Have Great Phone Conversations With Your Girlfriend

It can be hard to know what to say when you're talking on the phone with a significant other. But with a few tips, your conversations can be great! Here's how:

• Be prepared. Before you pick up the phone, take a few minutes to think about what you’d like to talk about. It can help to jot down a few topics beforehand.
• Make sure to set aside enough time to talk. Often it can be hard to have an in-depth conversation if you’re running late or feeling pressed for time.
• Let your partner talk. Conversations usually flow better when both people feel heard. Make sure to ask open-ended questions and try to really listen to their responses.
• Be kind. When communicating over the phone, there are often a lot of opportunities for misunderstandings. Try to put yourself in your partner's shoes and be aware of the emotions behind their words.
• End on a positive note. Even if you’re both feeling tired or the conversation didn’t go as you’d hoped, let your partner know that you care. Saying something like “I love you” or “I’m looking forward to talking again” at the end of the conversation can help keep the conversation positive.
