A major part of social etiquette is talking about things that interest BOTH people, and it sounds like this woman is kind of oblivious to that. However, might I point out that you are a very nice person and it's entirely possible that your feigned interest might be taken as genuine? :) (Of course, I can talk about Squeakles all day, but if the person I relay a little story too doesn't continue on with the same topic, I know to drop it and move on to things that are more mutually interesting!)
