conversation topics
I am 17, female. I have a coworker, about 20, male, and I am wondering about conversation topics I can bring up. Just to clarify, there is NOTHING romantic about our relationship. At our job, we aren't allowed to talk much, but we can have short conversations here and there. Right now, he always starts the conversation with a question, generally something like "how is school going?" or "do you have any plans for the weekend?". I respond to his questions, but I can never come up with anything to continue the conversation, it is always him. I am kind of socially awkward, and it's really hard for me to carry on conversations, so I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest some questions I can ask, because I feel awkward that he always has to direct the conversation.

There are times in a conversation you can take your lead from him. He asks you what your plans are for the weekend; you tell him your plans. Then you ask what his plans are. Maybe he replies he and some buddies are going camping or fishing. If you like to go camping then you have a basis on which to take. You say you love to camp and go on from there.
Maybe you are going to see a movie. when he asks what your doing this weekend you tell him your plans then ask him if he has seen the movie and what did he think of it.
seeing a movie that has been out for a while is also a good conversation starter. You could start a conversation by saying, my boyfriend is taking me to see this movie, have you seen it yet.
Ask about his hobbies. Maybe he has a hobby you like then you have something in common to talk about. Is he married then ask about his wife.
I happen to like to cook, I find it very relaxing. Maybe he likes to cook and maybe you do. Then you have something in common and you two can exchange recipe ideas.
Try to find out things that you have in common and the conversation will make itself.
