Things you both are passionate about, like the same anime show or same musician or same hobby. Anything that makes you both feel comfortable. Conversations that end in a cuddle ;)

if he is your boyfriend, you can talk to him about anything under the sun :) talk to him about what he likes about what you like, your dreams aspirations

You can talk about whatever you feel like talking :), communication it is something important, and any topic would be full of interest between you two!

Music, Sports, Family, Friends, Jokes, Birthdays. Make him feel heard, support his feelings without judging.

talk casually, more than the mainstream "baby chats", be casual that sometimes is more interesting and different talk about his interests, your interests random things random issues.

The bounds of conversation topics are specific to the relationship context. Ideally, the boundaries should be wider than a close friend but narrower than family.

You need to find common ground. Find out what he likes to do, relate it to stuff that you like to do. Ask open questions that you will be able to have a discussion about to allow the conversation to flow. Maybe avoid questions that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no". For example you should ask "what do you like to do in your spare time?" rather than asking a specific like "Do you like going to the cinema".

Absolutely anything and everything. Your boyfriend should be someone you completely trust. I don't think I could ever be with someone I had to hide feelings or thing from. I like it when my boyfriend is also my best friend.

A boyfriend at the best stage is someone so you should be able to talk with about anything, it's sometimes tempting to hide the more "crazy" or "weird" parts of you because you fear your boyfriend won't accept them. But a boyfriend is only right for you if they can accept all of you and if it's love he'll want to explore every bit of your thoughts and ideas

You should not have to limit who you are around them and be able to talk about anything. If you have to limit yourself then they are not the person for you. Just not your ex-boyfriends as that could bring up feelings of jealously, inadequacy and resentment in your boyfriend. Unless your ex hurt you and if may affect your relationship, then your boyfriend has to know so that he can support you.

This can depend on a lot of factors. Age, ethnicity, religion and the amount of time and type of relationship are all influencing factors but, in the beginning if you talk about what you have in common and what brought you together you shouldn't go far wrong?

You could talk about things you both enjoy doin, your life, your thoughts or about music you two both like.

Anything. Age and how long you have known him may be a factor. Also it would depend on what you have in mind. Anything you dont want repeated might be saved until trust has been developed and always make it known if you want something kept private. At times something might be repeated because they thought it was ok or not a big deal...it might be to you and if so its better to voice that

Well, I'd think that if he's your boyfriend, you've already taken the time to get to know him for who he is. It's never a good idea to get with someone and not really know them, unless you're willing to go through the awkward moments of getting to know someone. You can talk about anything honestly. Be yourself.

Oh my goodness there's so much you can talk about! Whilst every relationship is different, communication is so important and you should be able to discuss anything with them! Tell him about your day. Tell him about the funny old man you saw on the bus who reminded you of your Granddad or how in class you read a poem that made you think differently about something. Tell him about a song your mother used to sing to you when you were younger or about a film that you want to watch with him. Talk to him about his plans for the day or for his life. Talk to him about all the things you two are going to do together in the future. Talk about all the fun you're going to have.

you can talk about the best part of your day or the worst part. you can talk about plans you both have for the day or week. be yourself and express your thoughts as random as they come, from what you ate at lunch that you can't stop thinking about, what profession you always thought you'd end up in, to how each your butt is (lol) . Chances are they want to know what goes through your mind, and how open they can be with you in return.

You can always talk a lot of things under the sun. Topics like hobbies and dislikes that make you bring closer together and learn from each other. Sometimes in a relationship we must know our partner.

Get to know them better. Ask them anything you would like to learn about them. They're favorite sports, foods. And if you guys have anything in common you can talk about that

You should be able to discuss just about anything with your boyfriend, unless it is offensive to him or another. You CAN talk about your problems with your boyfriend! You should be able to do so without him judging you.

I suggest you test the waters and try and find out his interests or what he's okay with, There isn't a manual for this but I'm sure he'll be happy to discuss with you
