I think people might be reading more into this than just an AI being as awkward as any human interacting with someone and doesn't know what cues to follow or end a conversation smoothly.

Yeah, after looking at it without being half asleep, I'm gonna go with the whole awkward conversation ejection button for Momo.
I think the next thing for Winslow is suddenly having a crisis of "Well, now what do I do with the fact that I have no life to make use of this body with?"
Neko_Ali:
Which is true enough. Momo is the closest we've seen to Winslow's situation before. Someone going from a chibi chassis to one with a lot more independance. The sheer physical nature of the smaller chassis means that a world built for humans is not suited well for them. So far we've only seen them as companion AIs and background filler. But they seem to spend most of their time with their companions in their homes. When they do associated with others it was pretty much with those of similar chassis. In a very real sense they are physically like children who need someone to look after them and have limited opportunities.
When Momo moved to her new chassis she spent a little time at a loss, leading to uncomfortable moments like staring at Marigold while she slept. But she had a goal, to find a job and make her own way. So she quickly filled her life with things beyond being a companion AI. Winslow on the other hand just switched and apparently hadn't given much thought to it. He knew he wanted a body with more mobility, but hadn't thought what he wanted to do with it. So right now he's just going 'I got everything I wanted! ..... Now what?' He'll find his niche soon enough I'm sure.
Kugai:
At least he's having fun

Note to Winslow: be careful of what you wish for...
