Today, my long-distance boyfriend wanted to spend time online with me. He kept quiet on Skype and went on a hundred different stupid websites, laughing by himself. Afterwards, he told me he really enjoyed our time together. FML

Did you communicate that that wasn't what you had in mind? If not, YDI for not understanding this well-known difference between guys and girls. The fact that he thanked you shows the time you'd just spent "together" online was very meaningful for him—and exactly what he was looking for. Trust me, most guys can do something in the general proximity of someone else and then walk away feeling it as having been a bonding time. Go talk about it with him.

at least you spent time hearing each other breathe XD. better than some can say.

I value quiet time I spend with those I care about the most. The fact that I can do my own thing and feel comfortable in the silence shows I'm closer to them than with most people. This is probably how your boyfriend feels as well.

I feel your pain haha, my current boyfriend does that too but he watches movies and shows, so I make him turn around his phone so we can have a movie date! All you have to do is turn a negative into a positive, ask him to share the joke or initiate the conversations!
