This is the world's hardest question for a shy person, isn't it? As someone who is gregarious, but married to the shyest man on the planet, I can say this: just keep talking. If this hypothetical situation WERE real, for example, I'd say that any discussion about what you're doing in RL is encouragement. Long weekends, movies you want to see, books you've just read, and television you watch are all good ways to stay comfortable and still invite more discussion.
I will also say this: as someone who worked in the restaurant business, I always wondered about life outside of the restaurant. If you changed your buying habits, from eating in the restaurant to getting carry-out, he might wonder if you met someone & are sharing the food. ;) Hypothetically, of course. You can easily dispel that with a comment like, "I want to see this movie, but I don't have anyone to go with," or even, "It takes me two days to eat this much food. It's too much for one person!"
