Why doesnt he like to talk?

If you are very into talking and sharing feelings and you are dating a guy that has very bad communication skills, you have confronted him on the issue and he continues to lack communication skills is it best to terminate the relationship?

You can present him a very good  self-help book: Messages: The Communication Skills Book . I think it helps.

It is not easy to change people. If this is a very important issue for you and you see little chance of success, it might be best to terminate.

Are you basing your opinion on your communications or the normal man.  You indicate you like to talk and there is a belief by some that ladies talk and announce their feelings more than a man does.  So if you talk a little more and he talks a little less there will be a big gap.  If you want a lasting relationship, your communications desire is big.  Many couples can get along with a wink and a nod othere will talk all the time.  Just make sure he doesn't figure since you want to talk a lot that it isn't enough for both of you.

The law works but the system needs changed, We all abide by the law but sometime it failes us. The same with the goverment. God bless the USA, Brign our troops HOME safely, To the men who did not get the credit they deserve, MAY GOD WATCH OVER OUR SERVICE MEN.

You don't have to break up. He may not like talking but sometimes it is vitally necessary! As long as you can figure out how he expresses his love e.g. buying presents, wants to spend every waking moment with you, bringing you breakfast in bed etc, you can get past his lack of poetic words of love and appreciate how he conveys his feelings for you.

Not being able to communicate with a person you see as a potential life partner, would be a very poor beginning to a long-term relationship. You can try to open him up to perhaps unloading some bad memories from his past. If that's not the problem, look to see a therapist together. All that I am suggesting is a not-so-good way to begin a life together with another person. But, a therapist has been known to help in some cases. You should see this, with your eyes wide open, as a red flag. A person that is open and communicative, or closed and shallow, is generally considered a character trait developed over several years...usually from early stage childhood...someone like yourself. Much like someone with a hot temper, you know it's going to be a huge challenge, with much trial-and-error to get this person to change. That problem, not able to communicate, (by holding everything in,) borders on emotional abuse to the other person, which usually ends a relationship. If children are involved, it would be that much more difficult to break from that, which is considered, a dysfunctional relationship. As a mature individual you should think long-term; would you want your children being subject to the same unhappiness your feeling when you experience, head on, a person who can't for whatever reason, communicate?
