Hi,
I've been seeing my bf for about a year now. We used to live really close so we always see each other alot everyday. Now I've moved like 45 minutes away so we see each other once in the weekend now.
Whenever we make plans to do something, it always include going to a restaurant to eat and then after having a walk or another activity.
I don't know what it is... but whenever I'm eating with my bf at those times in a restaurant or wherever, I find it so boring. We arrive there and order the food and talk a few words and then when the food comes, he just eats and doesn't say much after which I don't enjoy at all and we're in silence. After we finish eating and having a walk, he says a bit more and talks about himself which is fine. Should I tell him that its so boring eating with him? Can I ask him if we can do some activities instead like going to the park or doing something fun and he can eat before we meet? Would he take it another way?
Its a very different experience when I go out eating with my friends. We can spend like an hour and a half eating and talking about lots of different things and it feel like a very enjoyable time.
I just feel so uncomfortable eating with my bf when its so quiet and he is just sits there eating his food and not saying anything to me like a stranger. Its completely fine when we do things together like going to a park, walking or shopping where we talk alot more and share things. A day or so before meeting, he will say that he will organise the restaurant, even without me saying anything about food so I take it as though he wants to go to eat something together.
