reposting this because i don't think anyone saw it!
I think you're looking for a perfect situation that doesn't exist. Just tell him you have something you want to share with him, introduce your pronouns/why you want to try them while confirming you're not a male you just like those pronouns, and ask him to start switching over. Do it when you're ready and comfortable. Because there's unlikely to be a time where you just naturally get the chance to slip this into conversation without bringing it up yourself.
