Okay so have you ever felt like you have lost him in middle of a conversation. You are saying something that's important to you and he has an expression that says 'okay! When is she going to be quite?' This happens to a lot of people lots of time. Or may be you have been in a situation when you start saying something at the breakfast table and he picks up the news paper and just nods with a 'hmm!'. The worst is when you come and sit near him on the couch and you just say 'hey! You know what happened today...' and he hits the remote.
From his point of view 'its not like I don't like talking to her, we do have good conversation the two way type, but at times I just don't want to know every single detail of her day.' Or I don't want to listen to irrelevant gossips like 'her bosses mother is marrying for the third time'.
The worst for him are the repetitive types 'haven't I heard the same story twice already.'
In the above case both of them are right and then both of them are not. I know this sounds a little confusing but it's true. It's obvious that the lady wants to tell you something that is important to her, but at the same time the gentleman may not be in the mood to be a good listener. Ladies do remember what you think is interesting for you maybe interesting for you and your best friend; he is your boyfriend and yes! There is a difference.
As for the gentleman the lady is not a magician and doesn't know what you are thinking. If you are not interested in what she is saying take the conversation to common topics that interest you both. Or maybe if you are intelligent enough find a way of telling her that this is something you really don't want to listen.
This usually happens in a new relationship when you are just trying to know each other better. It takes some time for us to understand each others mood or demands. Making a few changes is easy; all you require to do is pay more attention. Minor changes can make major differences and happy ones too. Wish you a happy relationship.
