How to skype while on minecraft and not be awkward?

I just started skyping with this guy I met on minecraft. My parents have to be in the room while were skyping and were only allowed to talk about minecraft related stuff, not talk about our real lives. We run out of things to talk about and it gets awkward. The guy is 3 years older than me too. Any tips?

Huh, well it's best if your main target is to get your parents out of the room…

If you don't feel comfortable doing it then try to play in private hours or get the system in another room away from your parents.
