I am a 20 year old female, and I am a great listener. My friends always come to me for advice, and you can too. Ask me whatever you want, I will be happy to try to help you with ANY problem or dilemna. I will do my best to give you a great answer. Whatever you ask, I will never judge or make fun of you - I will be honest and respectful with you, telling you my advice with a kind and rational answer. I have traveled all over, had many unique opportunities and experiences, and have great friends from many different places all over the world. All the traveling has taught me a lot about different kinds of people and I have gained a lot of insight and perspective throughout it all. I'd like to think that some of what I have learned will be helpful to other people, and that I can offer advice that takes into account all that I have come across in my 20 years, both from my experiences and the experiences of those around me. I was also an elite athlete, so I have some experience in fitness/training/health questions as well. Thanks for visiting my column! Have a fantastic day!!

What are some things you have in common? Bring up common points of interest, like a class you both have together, or a teacher neither of you can stand, something like that. If you have trouble working it into the conversation, start with something like, 'Hey, did you understand tonight's homework?' Then, you can follow it with a comment about something that happened in class, etc...and hopefully the conversation will be rolling. Another approach that will make him get talking and guarantee a conversation is ask him to explain something to you. Does he do a sport? Bring that up and ask him something you don't really understand about it. For instance, 'I have always wondered, when you play soccer, what constitutes a penalty...like, what are specific things you aren't allowed to do?' This, hopefully, will get him interested in the convo because it will be something he enjoys talking about because 1) it is about something he likes, and 2) it is something he is knowledgeable about so he will be comfortable talking about it. This gives you an oppurtunity to have a good discussion, and connect with your boy on something that is meaningful to him. If he doesn't play a sport, maybe ask him about a musical intrument he plays, or a club he is active in. Anything goes.
Other random questions for it the conversation is lacking spark:
-Favorite TV shows or movies
-What you did last weekend
Here is another idea that will make for a great, and amusing conversation. I would save this idea until you are more comfortable talking with him, though. Ask him if he wants to play a game, and when he says 'Sure,' tell him that you are going to alternate asking each other questions, and no matter the question you have to answer it honestly. Come up with creative, funny questions, like ones that start with 'Would you rather...?' Or, ask him things you've been dying to know. It's a fun game, and you will learn alot about each other, and maybe end up with some amusing inside jokes that you can laugh about later. Hope this helps, and good luck!
