"Hi, my name is Reka Morvay. I'm a psychologist and I'm going to talk to you today about what to talk about with your boyfriend. This is not such an easy question as one might suspect. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a common topic with your boyfriend. But usually what people tend to talk about best are shared experiences. So if you go out and do something with your boyfriend than this will obviously will give you something to talk about later. Also try to find out what his interests are. Because people like to talk about those things that are interesting for them obviously. So if your boyfriend really likes sports then maybe you can go out of your way a little bit to find out about the teams that he likes or the sports that he likes or maybe you could even go to games together and that will immediately give you something to talk about. Try not to have all your conversations one sided. On the other hand it is reasonable to expect your boyfriend to be interested in what you have to say too. So this is a two way street where both of you are interested in the other person and pay attention to those things that are interesting. So if you talk about stuff that's interesting to you then you need to take turns and he needs to be able to tell you what he's interested in as well."
