Ladies: How to Start a Romantic Conversation with your Boyfriend

You and your boyfriend enjoy discussing school, friends and your favorite television shows -- but you rarely talk about your emotions. Just once, you would like to have a romantic conversation and share your feelings. Starting that chat is tough when he keeps bringing up the latest episode of CSI. Be patient and wait for a break in the chatter to turn up the heat.

Timing Is Everything

A romantic chat doesn't have to take place as you stand under the stars or after watching "Gone with the Wind." Choose a moment when you two are alone and you are both in a light-hearted mood, suggests relationship therapist Karen Gail Lewis, as cited in the article "Making Romantic Small Talk." For example, if you and your boyfriend are spending the weekend repainting your bedroom, stop for a moment, smile and say, "You look really handsome right now."

Genuine and Sincere
