Hi,

What does this sentence mean?

"I hadn't been asked that question in a while. "

At some point in the past (call it Point B), someone asked me a question.



I had been asked that question before that time, ie at some earlier point in the past (call it Point A).



The time between Point A and Point B was not short.
