[quote=Anonymous]Could you change the dynamic completely and say "it seems like neither of us likes initiating calls, but we both like having them -- why don't we schedule a monthly call that repeats on our calendars?" Or a monthly coffee date or something. It seems the issue for you guys is initiation, so take it out of the equation.

Less sure how to deal with your complaint that you are the one who chats on the calls. That's tricky because I can see it from both sides -- I get you not wanting to feel like you have to carry the conversation, but also she may just be less chatty generally but still like connecting with you. Maybe your interactions need to be shorter? Or maybe you need to do stuff together that doesn't require as much talking? You know men have really figured that out -- one of the joys of watching sports with other people is that it can take the pressure off of making conversation. You can talk or just watch the game, and you can always just talk about the game if you don't feel like talking about other things. Is an interaction like that appealing to you? I have some friends I love going to baseball games with, or meeting at a bar to watch football, because it's so easy and low stress/stakes.[/quote]
