I really like conversing with people, I do. it can be a real good time.
but when you have to talk with someone you haven't talked to for a while (if ever), things just seem to get so awkward. like, sure you're trying to be nice and courteous and learn everything that has happened in that person's life since you last met them, but whenever I'm in that situation, my mind always seems to gallivant off to thoughts of "hmm, how can I get out of this conversation?"
not that I don't in joy it, it just seems awkward. and I don't know why. I guess it's because I haven't interacted with the person for a while, so I'm not remembering completely how to interact with that person. so I look for an exit.
then, inevitably, I will about a half hour after the conversation think "oh, I should have asked this, or said that" then I feel bad for ending the chat when I did.
oh well, I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.
orrr maybe I should work on my social skills.

i have the exact same problem. i don't know. maybe if it's somebody you will reconnect with the awkwardness will be less or go away. but most of the time (for me anyway) it doesn't matter because i don't plan on being their friend again.
