Bond with your partner over these interesting conversation-starters

Although conversations and communication are important for a relationship, it’s not uncommon to run out of things to talk about with your girlfriend. Open the conversation with lighthearted questions about her interests, hobbies, or opinions, then dive into deeper and more vulnerable questions when you both feel comfortable. Let’s dive in!

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Her Hobbies

1. Ask your girlfriend what she loves to do in her free time. Whether you’ve just started dating or you’ve been together for years, one of the best topics is to ask about her favorite hobbies. What is it about her favorite interests that makes her happy? How did she first discover that she liked it? Explore the motivation behind what she loves to do.

   • “How did you get into knitting? What do you like most about it?”
   • “Why did you start playing basketball?”

[Edit]Things You Have in Common

1. Talk about the interests and experiences you share together. Sharing common interests with others is necessary to create and maintain social bonds.^[1] You probably started dating your girlfriend because you had shared interests. Do you watch the same movies?

   • “What was your favorite episode of that show we watched together?”
   • “Which band has the best drummer of all time?”

[Edit]Tips
