Ok this is sad, but what do you talk about on the phone?
*The next three paragraphs are purely background information, the real question is at the bottom*
Ok, I do talk on the phone with friends a lot, however, there wasn't any real emphasis on talking. Normally, when we talk on the phone, its for some kind of purpose. Either assistance with something, to comment about something, or to inform about something (usually about plans to hang out). These phone conversations usually last for no more than 15 minutes.
Talking to people in the real world isn't a problem for me, because there is no huge emphasis on keeping a conversation as you can just turn it on and off and there is no big deal because hanging out isn't solely about talking. There is no such thing as an awkward silence in the real world (at least for me anyway) However, when talking on the phone, I assume that there is supposed to be some kind of constant conversation going on as awkward silences can be bad, but what is there really to talk about for several minutes just randomly?
When me and my ex talked on the phone, we would just discuss any recent events in our life, and then it would more or less just be dirty talk for the rest of the conversation. These conversations lasted about a good few hours, suprisingly as well. Of course, you can't just dirty talk to someone right off the bat, or it may not end very well. I hear often of people who talk on the phone for several hours, but how do you this and actually keep the conversation interesting and the awkward silences to a minimum?
*The real question is below*
There is a girl who I've known for roughly a month a now. I acquired her phone number a few days ago, and when I call her, I just want to know to say and be able to keep the conversation going. What do most people talk about on the phone to an intended future significant other?
