I would have thought the answer would have been obvious. In the real world boring people usually don't know they're boring. So Paul - worrying about it in the first place may actually be a sign that you are more interesting than you think. But I would say that wouldn't I?

What's your strategy? Encourage someone else to join the conversation? Excuse yourself coz nature calls, or it's time to find another drink? Whatever, it can be awkward can't it?
