My boyfriend is like two different people
Sinead, 20, from Ireland, asks: My boyfriend is like two different people. He's always been a really outgoing, talkative person. Whenever we go out together he always has loads to say to everyone, which would be grand except now when WE get a chance to talk he doesn't have a lot to say to me! I'm not talking about deep thoughts here just basic conversation. He's affectionate enough-in fact instead of talking to me he just sits beside me and rubs my arm/back/hand etc..! How is it he can find things to talk about with everyone else but not me? What's the deal?
VictorM's advice: Boy, you sound like an Avril Lavigne song.
He's an extrovert. Extroverts aren't just people who get along well in crowds; they are people who draw energy from other people. That explains his behavior in groups.
So it has nothing to do with you and it's not that he doesn't like talking to you; it's just that he's running on empty when he's alone.
You don't know it yet but a few years from now you're going to count your blessings.

Maybe he has a case of "The elementary boy syndrome". This happens when a boy likes a girl and the boy gets all shy and blushes because he likes the girl.
Stop asking stupid questions.

Hi Sinead,
It's much easier to talk to strangers about general things than it is to talk with people you know well. Unless the two of you are having groundbreaking discussions everyday, he probably doesn't get interested in talking about the same thing over and over again.
