    Since there is no subject (technically, the infinitive "беседовать" is the subject, not a noun), you need neuter, as for impersonal structures.

    Antonio, there are two issues.

    First, you are confusing two things: boredom and tiredness. It happens that English and Russian have different views on the human emotions spectrum. For Russians, they are just different emotions. You may be tired of something but not bored. You may feel boredom without any reason, without being tired of anything specific. You may be both tired and bored, of course, as one of the possibilities. What you are talikng about is tiredness, not boredom.

    Second, the whole phrase "Когда нам надоело беседовать, мы пошли купаться" is already in the past. "надоело" is the past tense, "пошли" is the past tense as well.

    I am unjustified not understanding from the beginning the structure.
    So as to clarify everything if I want to say: "I don't want to go to that party because I will get bored" = "Не хочу пойти на этy вечеринкy потому что мне надоедаю"
