Is it normal to struggle to talk to your girlfriend?

I've been in a relationship for nearly 6 months.

My girlfriend is the type who is pretty clingy, texts everyday, wants to call all the time, etc.

My problem exists in communication. Sometimes when we're together in person (let me stress: not all the time) we don't have anything to say to each other.

I'm naturally a shy person so this is nothing new to me, but with my best friends conversation never stops.

I guess you could say, at times, we lack topics of conversation.

Is this concerning? Is it normal?

    Well on the off chance that all my friendships are based on falsehoods, I will suggest that sometimes there is nothing to talk about and when you reach that point, find something to talk about. Or do something. And even talk about that while doing it. Show her a funny video you saw online, play a game together, watch a movie. I understand this might be a problem if you're out to dinner. Do you guys not share enough interests perhaps?

    You could be right, but give it a thought.

    What makes you think you have to talk to your gf all the time when you are together? Sometimes, just being together should be enough.
    After 6 months you should know each other well enough and be comfortable enough that often words are unnecessary. As to the constant comms while apart, perhaps your gf is a tad insecure and wants a bit of reassurance that you love her. Perhaps she just misses you when you're apart?
    Sometimes I get a bit aloof about the attention my gf heaps on me during her affectionate times, but quickly remember how much I would have appreciated just one little kiss, when I had nobody.

    You can always base your entire relationship on sex and never have a meaningful conversation again.

      That's what I was going to say, you can't talk when your 69ing.

    I believe that you need to find some common ground if anything. Find some activity that you both can talk about for future chats.
