I've been seeing a girl for a couple of months now and I'm falling for her. There's a lot of great things I love about her, however, our conversation sometimes seems to lack a lot of substance and in-depthness.

I've been in love a couple of times before and had the same experiences when it comes to conversation. Talks are pretty in depth when it comes to talking about things like our thoughts on relationships, sex, plans for the future, talking about our friends (especially their love lives), etc. However, anything deeper than that seems to be greeted with smiles/laughter/agreeance but no discussion. In fact, the majority of our conversation seems to be of the jokey nature.

A simple example would be the other day in my business a customer tried to pull a credit card scam. I complained about it and questioned how anybody could be so low. Her response was something along the lines of 'ha that totally sucks!!!'

I generally get a lot more satisfaction out of talking to my best guy friends. I could sit around having a beer with a guy friend and talk for a couple of hours and genuinely have a good time. I don't know if I could with my girlfriend lol.

I've been raised to think your 'wife partner' should be your best friend. Am I just being naive to expect significant meaningful conversation in a relationship? Do men and women have entirely separate interests and thus it's unreasonable to expect to have as intriguing conversation with my girlfriend as with my best friends? My other concern is I'm white but never seriously dated a white girl, so maybe it's a cultural issue?

Thoughts?
