Question I'm 16 years old, and I can't drive yet. All of the time I'm texting my boyfriend. But lately he's been running short with the compliments and appretiating me, even if its just in texts. I still compliment him and tell how much he means to me. I've asked him if anything is bothering him lately, and he's said no. But when I brought up how he's been acting different, he said that most of our relationship is based on text, and its hard to be romantic anymore cause he's said it all. We hang out basically every Friday, plus some days during the week. Its just for a few hours each time, but its still time to spend together. We go to the same high school, but its summer now, and when school starts, I'm going to be going to a trade school, and I won't be able to see him at school because he is not.
I know we have limited possibilities to work with here, but can you help me?? I don't want to lose him.
Is there a way that we can strengthen the relationship even though most of it is through texting??
Answer Britt,
What you need to do is have more meaningful conversations, even if the only way you can do it is through texts.
It's nice to hear the compliments, but after a while, it's gets redundant on both ends. So, try talking about what's been going on that day, what you're looking forward to tomorrow, etc.
