You must have had things in common to talk about. I think that if you just relax and let yourself be You, conversation will flow spontaneously. Don't obsess about it, don't plan it out. (I used to write down subjects to talk about--what a geek).
Sometimes, too, there just isn't much to say. Not every day is full of fascinating events that you can't wait to share! If the two of you can get to the point where you feel absolutely comfortable with the silence, I think it's a real step up in the relationship. (Of course, if this is an everyday occurrence, it could be that you just don't have a lot in common. In that case, you must make a choice between working to find new interests together, or breaking up.) Being comfortable together while being yourselves is a hallmark of a good relationship!

MADLYxINxLOVE answered Saturday December 30 2006, 10:28 pm: Here are a few things I would start is a conversation:
"So, how was your day?"
"What have you been up too?"
Tell a funny story on what happened in your past.
I'm sure you'll think of something. Sorry, if I didn't help much.
divapup6 answered Saturday December 30 2006, 12:02 pm: well maybe you could ask him about his day
or about new things that may have happened recently
you could also say something that you have probably asked him like a billion times
"whats your favorite color?"
it might bring back memories , and then get you started on the topic of when you were little
or things like when you first got together
hope this helps [ divapup6's advice column | Ask divapup6 A Question ]
Flaggal answered Saturday December 30 2006, 9:29 am: start with how was your day hunn. then tell him how your day was and then tell him something -good or bad- and then you'll just take off and you'll never have to worry about this problem again
ChocolateCots answered Saturday December 30 2006, 7:34 am: Compliment each other. It starts a flirtatious vibe. Also, bring up a funny momment of the day or a story you both can relate to so you both have input on the subject. [ ChocolateCots's advice column | Ask ChocolateCots A Question ]

Like, I'm not a fan of going out to dinner unless you know the person really well.
Yesterday, I went ice skating on a semi-date. It wasn't planned-it was my birthday party, and one person didn't show up (but they had invited this other person, who was totally alienated). He was kind of clingy toward me at first, but then we started talking about school, choir, everything. If there was a silence, we'd do a turn on our skates or something. It was fun.
iloveaar answered Saturday December 30 2006, 3:10 am: asking about each other days ..and for example i did this (action) say something about that related to the topic and then it will jump to the other thing and stuff XD
illdomybest answered Saturday December 30 2006, 1:41 am: how about asking about how eachothers day was. maybe you could talk about music or other interests. you could try to find something that reminds you of something that happened to you or talk about something that you thought was funny. share eachothers opinions on things religion,politics,movies,food,jobs,etc [ illdomybest's advice column | Ask illdomybest A Question ]
Gregoryy_2 answered Saturday December 30 2006, 1:40 am: well i know the feeling when i first was with my gf we kinda didnt talk a whole lot either but what you should do is just find out some of his intrests talk about hobbies sports anything really then tell him about anything just act casual to dont look really uptight make him think your really interested and it will make him probably feel less shy about talking.
omgshoes answered Saturday December 30 2006, 1:38 am: you should probably tell him that you are into animal porn. this is an ultimate turn on for all guys. you can buy a copy of it at any science store, such as the discovery channel store. if not, order express from ebay! it will come the next day. you can watch it together, and trust me..you'll have LOTS to talk about. good luck!
