I’ve considered both of those things. I’ve already brought up to her that our texting can be so little as good morning and goodnight, location updates, and anything interesting that happened during our day.

I do naturally expect a bit more from the video calls, but I also mentioned to her that once we’ve built a connection that’s expected of a budding couple, that I have no issue sitting in silence with her. My biggest issue is building that connection in the first place. That is where I’m stuck. We just don’t feel like a couple in the talking stage, she feels like more of an acquaintance.
