I used to be friends with a real bitch. When my nephew (17) was killed in a motorbike accident 5 years ago, it took me quite a while to go out again. The first night I arrived in the pub she said, "Before you start, we're not going to talk about anything sad." She immediately reminded me about it so I withdrew. The silence must've lasted half an hour! Her favourite topic is herself but as she used to rely on me to be the entertainment - I left it to her that night!
She found out that night that she had no personality worth talking about - and I've never bothered with her since.
how long does it take before you think it is an awkward silence
