Men have struggled for millennia to understand the needs of their female partners. Most women like to talk to their men about their feelings, but men often resist the discussions. According to the website of "The Times" in England, men are more likely to bottle up their feelings, while women prefer to talk about them. When you want to start a conversation with your girlfriend, think about discussing her feelings and interests.
Plan ahead. Spontaneous conversations are fine, but if you want to start a good conversation with your girlfriend, think about what you would like to discuss in advance. You can also plan something romantic for the discussion. Surprise her with flowers or a romantic candle light dinner at home. A romantic evening with just the two of you is a good setting for any conversation, whether serious or lighthearted.
Initiate the conversation. If you typically do not like talking about feelings or having long conversations in general, your girlfriend will be pleasantly surprised and excited about a discussion you start. Great lines for starting a good conversation include, "I am feeling <insert feeling>," "how are you feeling?" or "how was your day?"
Talk about an issue that has come up multiple times, but that you have avoided. If she has mentioned it, even casually, more than once over the past few months, it is probably more important to her than you think. If you live together, it might be about your living habits or little details about the house that annoy her. Or, it might be an issue in your relationship she is uncomfortable with or unsure about. Confront the issue head-on in your discussion. Say something like, "I know <the issue> might be bothering you, so let's talk about it."
Talk about her interests and make an effort to participate in things she likes. If your woman is interested in things that you could care less about, that is okay. You do not have to like the same things, but you should be willing to listen to her express her feelings and opinions about the things she likes. When you are in a relationship, you must accept both your similarities and differences with your partner. Put yourself in her shoes. If you come home excited about something and begin to talk about it with your girlfriend and she shows no interest or pays little attention to you, you might be hurt or offended. Spend even just a few minutes letting your girlfriend talk and explain something she is interested in and support her with your attention and responses.
