Another possibility is that he views you in a more casual way. In that case, the basic subjects are probably most appropiate.
If your still interested in livening up you conversations, here are a few pointers.
1. Take you cues from him. Is he wearing anything that might clue you into his intrests? Or carrying something like an MP3 or skate board? Asking about some ones hobbies are a sure way to get them talking.
2. Talk about yourself! Where did you spend your last vacation? What do you like to do? Movies, books, music, are all old hat. Try talking about Some thing more personal. But not too personal!
3. If all else fails, talk to him about your favorite web sites. Like Advicenators!
The bottom line: Conversatin is an Art. It takes practice. If he doesn't warm up to you, maybe you should find some one more interesting to talk to. [ missdesiree's advice column | Ask missdesiree A Question ]
