How can we communicate better?

Question

I usually date boys who are about a year younger than me, but my new boyfriend is older than me. We get along really well but have some issues with communicating. I'm 19 and he is 20 and when we are together we talk about everything and have no problems communicating. But when we aren't together we either text or talk online...I'd like to be able to talk on the phone more with him but I don't want to have to call him...also I don't have the best phone skills so it might be kind of awkward. Do you think it is ok to just continue communicating the way we are? or is it impossible for a relationship to last with such odd communication?

Answer 1

As long as you're communicating, I don't think it matters much whether is by phone or electronically. It's nice to hear your partner's voice, though, so I'd encourage you to try talking on the phone and see how it goes. Good luck!
