Slightly misleading title I'm afraid.
I actually don't have any real tips as to how to avoid this other than follow me around for a 24 hour period, take notes and you'll pretty much know what not to do.
What I really wanted to talk about is the act of talking about the weather.
This is a very common thing we do when we really don't have anything of relevance to say and just want to keep the conversation (in the loose sense of the word) rolling along.
Or limping maybe is the best word.
You know what the funny thing is?
I almost never do this when I'm in an awkward situation. I always end up sharing my deep thoughts on for example "if the weather this past weekend was suitable for sleeping outside" with people I am fairly comfortable with.
I guess this means if I start talking about shower activity with you, you know were tight.
If I however start sharing my thoughts on death or my personal problems then I'm afraid we're not really there yet.
