<human>: So me [27F] and my boyfriend [33M] have only been dating for a short while (2 months) but things are progressing pretty quickly, probably because we're older and we both know what we're looking for in a partner. I'm someone who's naturally inquisitive and people always remark that I ask a lot of questions. Nothing too probing, just fun questions like: tell me about your first car or which birthday was your favorite? I'm just really interested in getting to know people, and pretty much everyone is receptive to that.

My boyfriend is also receptive to the questions and we have a good time discussing them. However I have to answer the question myself unprompted because he never says: what about you? In addition I'll tell him something like: I went to a concert yesterday, or things at work are crazy with my boss, and he'll never ask follow up questions like: what concert did you go to? Who did you go with? Why are things at work crazy?

And I'm not trying to bait him into asking those things, but I feel like asking follow-up questions is a natural process of conversation. I suspect its because he's a guy and not because he doesn't care, because he shows he cares in a lot of other ways.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: I want to know in what ways I can encourage my boyfriend to ask me follow-up questions, or even questions at all like: how was your day? without being like: um, you need to ask me more questions.
