Imperfective only verbs
I understand that разговаривать is only imperfective (if I am correct!?) but am I correct in thinking that this is the same also for общаться and болтать ? No perfective forms?
Also, could someone clarify the meaning and use of all 3?

there is a perfective form: поразговаривать. below is a proof link to a dictionary:

пример: "люблю поразговаривать о том, о сём"

All these words have very similar meaning, but болтать you can adress only to people you're closed with (friends etc.). It's absolutely informal verb like chat. Разговаривать и общаться are more neutral, but общаться is a little bit rarer used. Разговаривать is closer to talk and общаться is closer to communicate.

разговаривать is only imperfective- that's right.
разговаривать is also like общаться and болтать, but общаться and болтать have perfective forms :пообщаться и поболтать.
