Thing is, during small talk tons of communication is taking place. What happens is that the content of the conversation becomes secondary, and emphasis is on everything else... sensations that you convey through your discourse, tonality, body language, eye contact... He doesn't enjoy small talk because to him, the content is everything. He's terrible at communicating, and that is very important in a relationship.
Also the be yourself advice is quite true, because if you fake it, people will eventually (usually pretty fast) see through your persona and feel cheated. Doesn't mean everybody will like you regardless of how you are. The solution is, change.
