How do you get men with few words to talk? Help ...

How about this - instead of trying to change the guy, accept him as he is - a person who doesn't talk much. The nice thing about this is that he might be a really great listener. Why not, instead of trying to get him to talk, you talk about yourself and what interest you and open up to him - most chances are is that to some degree, he'll follow through. If not, they you found a perfect partner to talk to.

A lot of time women and men have different definition of  what closeness is and try to change the other to match their expectation. Maybe you can find other ways to feel close - do something fun together, listen to music, do something together that require no talking but action (how about mountain climbing? flying a kite? going to a lecture or a concert?).

Try not talking about yourself.  Find out what his interests are. Ask the quiet one questions about his interests that require more than a yes/no answer.  Based on his answer ask followup questions.  Men love or hate their work, sports, boobs, butts, politics, imigrants, music, etc.

Ask open-ended questions like "Who is the Incredible Hulk your favorite comic book super hero?" or "Why do you think they got rid of Kes and replaced her with Seven of Nine when Kes was a favorite character on ST: Voyager?" Then listen with all your might. Listen until you wish you never asked.

Guys that do not like to talk are the scariest. You cant change him so accept it or do what I would do; Leave.

Ask him who he thinks is prettier Jessical Alba or Angelina Jolie. That ought to get him going. Then follow that up with who you think is prettier and why. Then ask him what type of women he finds attractive; what type he likes to date...Follow up that question with what characteristics (not physical) in a woman is attractive to him and important in a relationship...I'm assuming this question is because of a romantic interest in a man.

or talk sports.
