You don't mention how long you have worked with Bossie. I flag this up only because it can take a long time to establish a working relationship with a good flow of communication in both directions.
One way round this might be to have a short meeting with Bossie once a week or on the first day that he is in the office.
My first manager, when I joined my company a few years ago, and I used to meet every week for no more than fifteen minutes. We went through the diary for the next quarter each time to note any new appointments, and talked over any important matters. It worked very well. My current manager and I don't have regular meetings. She is in the next office to mine and the door between our rooms is always open, so we just talk to each other when we need to. That works well too.
If it is social interaction that you are looking for, then that might be hard work if Bossie is a very private person. I have had bosses who as communicative as clams. Sometimes you just have to put up with that; at other times you can - eventually - learn which "buttons to press". One of my previous bosses appeared to be somewhat unpleasant - he was invariably rude and dismissive of those he perceived to be junior staff. I discovered, quite by chance, that he was simply terrified of women! Rather unfortunate, because most of my peers in that company were women.
Best wishes,
Raindance
