Coming from a girl, we like to talk about things we like to do. Ask us about our favorite pastimes and hobbies, and we'll ask you about yours. You can even try these things with her, and she'll try your favorite things with you!

Your girlfriend should be like any other friend. Talk about what you both enjoy. You could discuss TV shows, actors, art history, anything you or your girlfriend likes. Politics can be quite fun but maybe stay away from that of your opinions differ

There's plently of stuff to talk about! Mhm how about how your best funny childhood memories? How you think the universe was created? (This would be amazing if you guys sat gazing at the stars at night) Maybe talk about your future plans, what you dream of having!

Anything you share an interest in with her. Talk about your day, what you like, what you dislike, what you want for yourself or any hobbies that you might have. Talk about music, or books, or sports if that's what you're into. If you want to talk about deeper things, speak about that. Ask questions, get to know her, learn about her.

Although it seems strange, sometimes it is important to talk about the mundane things in life. Questions such as; How was your day? How are you feeling? can open the door to interesting conversation.

Maybe talk about things she enjoys, but remember if you like something and she doesn't or vise versa, then make sure to talk it out and make sure it's ok with them(not in a controlling way, but in a more respect way) and if they don't accept you for who you are in anyway, then I don't think its worth it.

Talk about daily life and what you did in a day, simple and seems unimportant, but that's can makes you feel more connected to her. also tell her how much you love her. that's what my loving boyfriend always do to me

little things mean a lot. How their day went. If you don't know then ask ice breaker questions to get a conversation going.

Well I bet she's your girlfriend for a reason - there is something you liked about her in the first place, enough to get in a relationship with her. Remember what that was and start there - how you two met. You have to start a conversation first, and pleasantries sometimes do actually work - you start talking about the weather, or how you met, or why you like that shirt she'd put on today - and more often than not, the conversation will find it's own way and before you know it - you've spent hours talking to her. Also, don't underestimate the power of silence - sometimes just sitting next to each other and saying nothing at all can feel like the best conversation ever =)

Depending on how close you are, maybe you can just talk about anything that comes to mind. Or find things you both enjoy and discuss them, watch a movie together that you can discuss. Talk about each other's day, your pasts, the future, opinions.

If it's a new relationship, I can see why you'd be a little confused about what to talk about. If not, then talk about anything! If you've known each other for a while and you really do like each other, talking about any non-offensive thing should be just fine. If it's a new relationship and you're still getting to know each other, ask some questions. Ask about likes, dislikes, her family, her opinions on various subjects. Talk about anything you have in common, like movies or tv shows you both watch. Tell her what you like about her; it can be nice to hear something positive about yourself every now and then. In conclusion, ask questions, get to know each other, and talk about both your similarities and differences.

You can talk about your or her hobbies, sports events, your or her family and friends, something you are both interested in (gaming, art, pets etc) or ask her questions to get to know her better! Of course you can also talk about things that just happened in your life (private and school/work life) or ask her how her day was. I'm sure you'd like to know her better, so just talk about whatever you want to know. What girls also really like are when you notice small things about her and talk to her about that or give her compliments. 10/10 recommended

About anything that comes to your mind! It could be something common like telling her about your day; the thoughts you’ve been having, how you’re feeling or what is bothering you to sharing things you like, like your favorite music or tv shows, or any other things you’re passionate about. You could also ask her questions about her interests, or about how she is feeling in general to get to know more about her as well, it shows you’re interested in her and I know for a fact that many girls like and appreciate that!

You should be able to talk to your girlfriend about anything. You can ask her questions to get to know her better if you are just starting out in your relationship. You can tell her things about yourself. Gradually build up to more important things like how important family is or about money or what you want to do later in life and how many kids you want etc. At first it can feel nerve wracking talking to someone about these things especially if the relationship is new, but eventually you will be so glad you shared them with your SO because then they can provide valuable input and you can plan your future together :)
