Bored for topics? What about searching wikipedia for something random, reading up about it in advance, and telling him what you learned. Then have him do the same!

Anything. From the weather, to how your days went. Ask each other random questions, no matter how weird it may seem. It's a great way to get to know each other better and to open conversations you didn't know were there.

how his day was, what he did, how his family is, how he is feeling, what you did today, talk about how you are feeling

Everything you feel comfortable with! Movies, music, books, your childhood, his childhood, how is school/work going, family, parties, sex, future plans etc.

You can talk about your day and ask him questions about himself. There is so much to talk about to get to know each other better! Maybe try the popular 36 questions to fall in love. Or just simply talk about your future together and make some plans to meet up. I hope you will find enough to talk about! I am sure that it will all come naturally after a while.

What do you have in common? Are there any hobbies that both of you like? Any movies that you both have watched? Do you and your boyfriend share classes? If so that is something you two can perhaps study for together. Perhaps play twenty questions, and get to know each other's likes, dislikes, pet peeves. Maybe share the unique things that you notice about various things. Do you have any pets? Perhaps that is something you can talk about. Funny stories about yourself or your friends? Favorite colors and why? Maybe exchange what music you like, listen to the tracks together and talk about that?

In close personal relationships such as romantic ones, one of the most beautiful parts is sharing the minutia of our day to day. Discussing what we have done that day, the thoughts we have had, the emotional landscapes we have navigated. We can chat about our day at school, or work, or even at home, and talk about the little things we did. The times we thought of them, the things you would like to show them or share together. It's also great to talk to your romantic partner about their interests! Find out what they really enjoy, what their favourite hobbies and passions are, and ask them to tell us about them. Everybody loves to discuss their passions, and some of the most enjoyable experiences can come from listening to someone excitedly share theirs!

Sometimes it can be really hard to figure out what to talk about with your significant other, especially when you're not together. You can always ask him about his day and continue asking open ended questions instead of yes or no questions (most open ended questions start with who, what, where, when, or how) If he's not really giving much information, you can ask more questions about the details or you can tell him about your day which will hopefully prompt some questions for him. Don't be afraid to ramble if you feel like you have something to talk about because in my mind, that's better than awkward silence. There are also really great lists of unique questions online that will help you get to know one another better. You can play a "question game" where you go back and forth asking each other questions off of that list and it can lead to some pretty interesting conversations. There are also talking games you can play like never have I ever, would you rather, 2 truths and a lie, and the alphabet game. I hope this helps :)

You can talk about life goals, spirituality, date ideas, places you would like to travel to and why, politics, future goals, financial goals, career goals, favorite movies, if you look forward to marriage, what you like about each other, ways you can improve as a couple, how can you two treat each other better, and more topics off the top of your head. But, overall just think about how to use every conversation as a way to really connect with one another even if that means just sitting on the phone enjoying each other's company. Im sure he would be interested in whatever you choose. Good luck. :-)

If you two are dating, I believe it is okay for you two to be chatting about anything you'd like to talk about. A relationship is about trust and caring for each other. I think you should be able to talk to him about anything you'd feel comfortable talking about. I believe you should talk to him and tell him about your feelings and literally just go with the flow. Just let it go naturally, do not worry too much about anything. Live in the moment, because you two surely deserve to do so. Sending all the love and support I can!

You can start by talking about your day and ask him how his was. This can lead to other conversations, if not, you can ask about his interests and things you guys would like to do on dates. Good luck!

Talk to him about how your day went. It's really important he gets to hear about your day-to-day experiences - even if they are a little boring! Life isn't always the glamour and energetic experiences we like to think!

Anything you'd like to. You can talk about what you did with your day, how you're feeling, tomorrow's plans, what you'd like to do when you next meet up etc

You can talk about your everyday chore, you can talk about how intense you feel about him, you can always bring up a cherished memory and be nostalgic about it together, you can talk about plans that you have for future.

You can try and talk about your mutual interests, hobbies or plans you have for the weekend/next meeting.

You can talk about favorite music selections, favorite books/genre/writing prompts, favorite video games (and why), get personal with touching stories of the way books make you feel, talk about the universe and beliefs (if you're comfortable with that topic and each other), or even just look up some conversational prompts on Pinterest!

anything from how your day was to your thoughts on a movie. Your boyfriend is interested in your life and happiness

You can talk about anything you feel is a comfortable subject for both of you. Relationships are about communication so getting to know each other more or anything you want or need to know about your boyfriend. Interests, hobbies, etc..

Their day, their destination in life. Be adventurous, without being too intrusive. Ask about work, and keep things open ended if possible.

There are a lot of things to talk about. The weather, his day even flirting with him. Things you like about him and future plans. Conversation can so on forever.

A boyfriend is still your friend right? Just because romance is there it doesn't mean trust and a few other things had to happen. What made you connect? What were the things you used to talk about or tackle debatable topic. Whatever is the your cup of tea

If you're having issues of running out of things to talk about, I suggest you list out what you would like to know about him and share with him and actually follow through, it might seem artificial but it helps. You could also have a slotted time to discuss about the week/day and have new topics for each chat. You could play games like "would you rather" or anything else. Also, if you guys spend more time together doing things or taking activities together, it makes your bond stronger and you'll have more things to talk about.

You can ask how his day went, what he had for lunch, did he think about you, did he call his mom regular to check on her etc.

You can talk about different topics with them. Some examples include- movies, music, food, the kind of future you see with them, your family, friends and school/college.

You can talk about anything and everything on the phone with your boyfriend. you can tell him if there’s anything troubling you, although i think it would be better to do that in person. you can tell him about your day and ask him about his. you can crack jokes or talk about new music you’ve heard or new films you’ve seen or new shows that have come out. just talk about your mutual interests, maybe a sports team too? if you want to go a bit deeper, you could talk about your futures together too and your hopes and dreams.

Well, there are a lot of things that we could always talk about with our boyfriend. You could always get to know him better by asking him what is his favourite snack, food move and et cetera. Other than that, we could also know him better by asking if he's okay when he's feeling down. Sometimes, you could also talk to him about yourself so that he'd understand you better for example, how outgoing is your family, embarrassing moments with your family, what you like to eat and so on. Last but not least, on the phone, you could always talk about how your day went. It not only makes them able to know how your day went but you also would let them know if your day was good or bad on a daily basis.

You can talk to your boyfriend about a lot of things! Here are just a few ideas to get you started: - Favorite things (movies, songs, tv shows, books, video games, colors, snacks, brands, places, animals) - What you like about each other - Plans for when you see each other - Things you want to do together - Places you want to go together - Foods you want to try together - Funny stories - Favorite memories/ moments - How their day went - New exciting things in your guys' lives - Things you're looking forward to I hope this helps!

You can start telling him how he looked good with his shirt today. Or your plans that is dedicated only for him. Just make him feel important when you talk to him. Listening to him is also a must.

I would speak to him about how my day went, ask him about his day. Maybe talk about plans you may have. Also I nice thing you can do is talk about memories you have had together. This can make you both feel positive and grow your relationship tighter
