You're being pretty picky about it. In my experience, the best way to find out what she likes is to, yes, actually ask her "hey, what sort of stuff do you like?"

I realize it's hard to be so straight-forward when you're shy, but you have to realize that some courage will be required at some point, and you can't just rely on some easy, slip-it-in-nonchalantly tactics when you're the one who wants to talk. If it helps, simply repeat it over and over in your head, or mouth it with your lips earlier that day.

You should also set yourself up for the most likely scenario: She might not have the same interests as you, in which case, you won't have as much to talk about. You'd still be able to ask her about her interests, but without sharing in them, you'd find that the conversation can end up shallow and one-sided. In which case, you might want to scatter in bits about yourself, and if that turns her off from the conversation, then you might just want to admit that it won't work out.

But, definitely, you will have to be more assertive.
