Anybody have stories about chatty girlfriends?

I got one...so I just started dating this girl a month ago, and she just wants to talk all the freaking time. She's really needy and got the somewhat misguided notion from her older sister that she needs to talk to me at least 1 hour on the phone everyday.

So for the past month she's been calling me to chat for an hour, and then we're finished we chat on MSN, and then sometimes she'll send me emails as well. For the love of GOD man...there's only so much I can take! NOTHING IMPORTANT HAPPENED IN THE PAST HOUR SINCE YOU LAST CALLED ME!

She just recently went to overseas for a family member's birthday so I thought I'd get some respite...but then came the phone cards...

So while we're not talking everyday for an hour, everytime she calls, she tries to use up all the time on the card...so you can imagine what that's like. No I don't HATE talking to her, for more than an hour everytime she calls?

And all this talking is cutting into my gameplaying time too!

Arghh....Sonybot am cry! :'(

 

[Saturnman]

Sorry but...

:lol

 

[Wendo]

Tell her. If you don't resolve this early on, it will not make for a very successful relationship.

 

[hXc_thugg]

Talking rocks. The end.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I like it when girls do that. But I'm a chatty bitch myself, though. :\

 

[demon]

I don't mind chatty girls too much......it's the chatty girls who don't have a fucking thing worth my time to say. My sister is the worst example......she can yack and bitch and moan and blab for hours without me literally saying a word. Ugh.

 

[Incognito]

One of the very first things I tell girls who I've just started dating is how I LOATHE all forms of phone communication that last over 5 minutes, and in general, just talking for the hell of it. It's so fucking stupid and useless...

 

[Lambtron]

I talk on the phone with my significant other ~3 hours a night, and have for the last, oh, 10 months. You get two people who are easily amused with extremely similar senses of humor, who only get to see eachother every two weeks, and you get long conversations.

But, yeah, bring it up. No use in stringing her along if you're not into it.

Yeah, that mouth would be much more useful if it was sucking your cock. Aren't you the feller who bought $300 jeans that looked like they were well-worn?

Don't project, asshole. I just don't enjoy chatting on the phone, and I tell them beforehand so I don't come off as some major league asshole as they're telling their life story on the phone and I'm not paying attention. As someone else said, it's nice to tell them so you're not leading them on/giving false impressions. I'm even this way with girls I've dated 5+ months, so find someone else to lob insults at.

As for the pants, who gives a fuck? They were $120.

I was the one who said not to string them along, FYI. I just thought that the idea that just talking is "fucking useless" is pretty assinine. But, whatever, my life, your life, blah blah blah.

$120 would buy me 6 pairs of pants. I'm just sayin'.

 

[Incognito]

It is pretty assinine, but it's just a pet-peeve of mine; and I become really irritated with long, drawn-out phone conversations. I'd rather let them know beforehand so there is no problems...

 

[KarishBHR]

"You know what you have to do..."

I've never laughed harder at anything on this forum in my entire life.


BRAVO!

I hate long phone conversations. They just seem to drag on forever.

You just shortened my entire post into two sentences! :lol

And I don't want to KILL her, just less talking that's all

What else can I say? She's needy, she NEEDS to talk to her boyfriend...I should just get a recording of "uh huh" "yup" "wow" and replay it over and over again.

And I did try to tell her...that I don't like talking on the phone about 'your day' for an hour all the time, but she just feels she needs it otherwise we're not really 'going out.'

Why are you dating her when she yacks about useless crap all the time? Doesn't sound like the kind of girl you should waste your precious time on.

You just wait until she's silent. Her silence will torment you.

Not only are they the best pants I've ever worn (good color khaki, little stretchy waist things, fairly sturdy), but the Walmart Puritan brand of pants are only $9.99. They're practically disposable, but they don't wear out any faster than crappy $35.99 JCPenney pants. I've got like 7 sets. $120 buys me seven pairs of pants and a copy of Mario Party 6.

Those pants are pretty dorky looking!

 

[etiolate]

You should buy her an easy-bake oven.


ps: I'd like to thank ninja scooter for making me feel less guilty about this post.

Do as I do with my gf. Screen your calls. I HATE talking to girls on the phone. I just don't see the point. It doesn't mean you don't care about her. I talk to my girl maybe 10 minutes on the phone -- at the max. Long phone calls are for insecure couples.

 

[Lambtron]

I rock the Dickies pretty regularly. $20 a pair, and they last for just about fuckin' ever. Plus they give me my much needed cred at the local punk bar.

 

[open_mouth_]

haha, I know how you feel. At first, it was lots of fun 'cause we were new to each other, but now, it seems forced at times when we don't have much at all to say to each other. Still, if you really care about her, you wouldn't mind hearing her voice at least once a day and talking for at least 5-15 minutes. More than that could be overkill, I agree.

Holy crap, you actually screen your girlfriend's calls? That's gold!

Man, the girls must line up at your door.

I have never screened calls from former girlfriends, but I did have a girlfriend who needed to talk all the time. Then she would get mad at me because I didn't have anything to say. What did she want me to say. I work 9 hours a day, come home, play videogames until going to bed. NOTHING HAPPENS.

Welcome to teh club GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN>.>!!..

 

[Eminem]

I also fucking loathe talking on the phone. No matter what or to whom. I always try to end it as quick as possible.
I'll talk a ton in person or even online...but I just simply loathe the phone for some reason.

Hell, I even despise calling up and ordering pizza. I always see if I can do it online, or have someone else who's with me call.
Can't explain why, I just HATE it.

Never really been a problem with girls. I just flat out tell them I don't like to talk long on the phone. No one's really cared.

This thread should make the full transition into being about pants.

Kohl's has some good cheap pants that are nice and durable. Lambtron also had the right idea with Dickies.

 

[Jim Bowie]

I don't like phone conversations, but I'll talk in person with people ad nauseum. I had a 3 and a half hour conversation with a girl over lunch. It ended when her friends joined us FOR DINNER.

 

[Drey1082]

What a shitty life.

Well, at least the weekends are fun.

She is not a typical girl. Most of the other girls I know, myself included, do not enjoy talking that long or that much to one person. My attention span is too short. Your girlfriend has what is called severe verbal diarrhea. Sorry, but I don't really know of any cures. When people talk to much to me, constantly interrupt when I'm talking, or are just annoying, I:

a)Walk away from the person while they're talking ~ if they're not totally dumb, they'll realize you're tired of talking (However, I've had this one coworker of mine follow me and keep yammering about her dumb boyfriend.)

b)Tell them "I don't want to talk anymore." or "I'm tired of talking right now." If you're good friends, it shouldn't be a big deal.

For you, I would reccommend a not so direct approach so that your girlfriend doesn't get too pissed off at you--signal one of your parents or a sibling to pick up another phone in the house and tell you they need the phone ASAP. That way, you can be like, "OH, I HAVE TO GO NOW. I WISH I COULD TALK LONGER, BUT SHUCKS, MY MOM NEEDS TO MAKE AN IMPORTANT PHONE CALL. LET'S TALK LATER."

And the let's talk later part is great, because it kinda gives her the impression that you'll phone her back, but when you don't, if she get's mad, you can say "Oh, I thought you were going to call me."

Good luck.

 

[COCKLES]

Buy her a hannible lector mask.

 

[geogaddi]

Things I hate:

1. need to chat for atleast an hour a day. how superficial is that?
2. one day, if you forget or are too busy to call her, you get a lecture the next day.
3. usually, what are the phone topics? there are no topics. its just a pattern to noise that if you respond to it, strangely, the relationship works out.
4. you get these stupid assignments from her."do this because tommorrow im gonna have to...etc."
5. she builds expectations out of nothing then gets mad at you for not meeting them
6. if she tells you "pick me up 8:30", she calls you at 8:31 to MAKE SURE YOU ARE PICKING HER UP SINCE YOU ARE 1 FRIGGEN MINUTE LATE. I always end up uppercutting my steering wheel in anger everytime she friggen calls to "make sure".

I guess she's just immature.

Sometimes they could be the most complicated sack of mood swings.

you can always insert your penis in the receiver and yell at her to shut up.
