Now in general I can't start a conversation by myself, but I can really pull myself into one.

anyway today I noticed I coudn't force myself to speak to my GF even though I felt like I wanted to. I couldn't even say hi to her and now she seems to be not talking either. Whats going on here and how can I get passed this? Also what are some good tips for starting a conversation?

Are you guys drifting apart?

Well, just start by saying hi and asking how her day is, what she's doing, blah blah blah. Anything could possibly morph into a conversation.

It could mean something or it could mean nothing. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it becomes like an everyday thing. Communication is the most important thing in any relationship, though. To start a conversation just start talking about something you're both interested in.

Maybe you have developed like a bad social anxiety or maybe you are really worried you two are not going to stay together for long/she is going to end it with you
Maybe write down how you feel about this situation and your worries and how its effecting you and leave it out for her to see or something like this it may help you over come it

Hey there. I would just talk about something you two both like. It may or may not be a sign that you're drifting apart. More details would be helpful.

Talk something in common

Take an interest in the other person, and allow them to share their thoughts and opinions on whatever you start to discuss. As for conversation topics, you could talk about your interests or the other persons, hobbies, likes and dislikes. -Just be careful with the last one that you don't offend the other person, it's ok to disagree on something but their opinion is still as valid.

I think it just takes practice, and I'm a hypocrite really since conversation isn't one of my strong points (Just watch VT chat, sometimes I really struggle) but over time it will get easier.

With regard to your girlfriend, I'd recommend just being honest and tell her that you've felt slightly awkward and unable to make a worthwhile conversation, and she'll probably realise that it doesn't mean you care any less about her, she might appreciate the honesty. -Whatever it is you say, talking is vital to a relationship so I'd try and talking to her and reminding her how you feel towards her :) (could be a good conversation idea specifcally for her)


EDIT: Sorry if I rambled on slightly, I hope my point comes across well enough, if you need clarification, just let me know :)

That may be it, my mom is talking about moving to somewhere Utah or Springfield. but this happens occasionally I just for whatever reason i try to say something but I just can't seem to get my mouth to work.

I usually start a conversation by asking her how she has been doing and that usually helps but I still get that weird mouth won't work situation at times. and then I end up having a hard time looking at her if it lasts too long and things get awkward.

It could be you are moving so will leave her and this is playing on your mind does she know you are moving?
all i can suggest is to try explain it to her:/
