if ur awkward talking then eating/having a coffee together is usually a good way to fill the silence until the ice melts and something will always happen when ur eating that you can strike up a convo about(the food, ppl around you, neighbourhood ur in, decor, etc) that isnt stuff like life/work that often stresses ppl out or becomes repetitive
typically if ur both listening well to the other then the convo will progress naturally and you wont be stressing about coming up with the next topic but instead struggling with when to stop talking and say ur goodbyes:/ my character is one thats perceived as random so the ppl i interact with are expecting unexpected topics? who knows what normal ppl talk about
talking about their pets/kids maybe? but be prepared to be subjected to their camera roll
