Sounds like me in a way... I love to talk to someone interesting one on one, but I don't tend to interact as much as a group.
I do have a theory that a lot of the people who engage you in smalltalk also have similar dislike for the practice, but they've been assured again and again that this is something they must do.
The question is what are you both going to find interesting? Smalltalk is what you're doing while you try to find something that you're both interested in.
