Is a relationship doomed to not work if conversation doesn't often flow?

When I’m with him I feel comfortable, happy, and we have fun together. He’s close to perfect (no one is perfect). He is so considerate, nice, funny, and sweet. I think he is going to make a really good boyfriend.

There’s just one small thing. He isn’t much of a conversationalist so there are times I feel like I have to work at conversation. Don’t get me wrong we talk about anything and everything but rarely a flowing conversation. So when I see him ramble on I am impressed and surprised but it doesn’t happen often. Sometimes we just sit and have dinner and enjoy each other’s company saying little things to each other. He’s a pretty quiet guy by nature.

People say that if you really have a connection with someone conversation won’t be hard and it should be flowing. In my case, it’s not that way but I really like him and I’m scared that it won’t work because of this?

When he asked me to be his gf he said he’s never been this close to a girl and has never met anyone like me where we say the same things and think the same things.
