<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Hey, everyone! I have a question and I know this will come off sounding really silly but I would really appreciate your advice.

My boyfriend and I are still in university and we live quite close to each other. We are very fond of each other and do lots of things together like cooking dinner, reading, playing co-op games etc. We get along great and are quite considerate of each other. I think the romantic bits of the relationship are fine.

However, I seem to have a problem and I brought it up to him and we can't find a solution. I can't seem to /really/ enjoy us talking together. I talk a lot and he doesn't. As in, we could be in the same room for hours and if I don't talk, he won't. He doesn't mind and he just enjoys hearing me chatter about things. However, I find it really dull. I love having conversations and it's really hard when he doesn't reply much or won't start a conversation unless I do. 

I have enjoy talking to my brother and some of my other friends and we can shoot comments at each other, laugh and whatnot all the time. It doesn't even have to be talking for hours. Sometimes we would have short bursts of conversations and its fulfilling. I can't seem to have this with my boyfriend and its heartbreaking.

We've tried to come up with ways to help him talk more because he does have a hard time talking to people sometimes. We do sometimes have nice conversations but they are sort of uncommon and sometimes it feels like it's only when he's reaaallly happy or kind of tipsy. 

I know it's okay for people to have different levels of communication. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions to help us with this? I really don't want this to be a thing that will make me resent him in the future. I really need my fun conversation times but I also really want to marry him one day.
<bot>: BF and I can't seem to talk very well to each other. He is really REALLY quiet and I find having conversations with people one of the most important things.
