havokk Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 What is your technique for dealing with awkward silences? Sometimes if you're chatting with someone you've just met at a party or anywhere else and the conversation runs dry do you just politely end the conversation or do you start babbling on to fill the silence? I was talking to a girl once at a wedding and she was trying to concentrate so hard on making small talk that she was literally squinting and looking off into the distance, trying to wrack her brain for something to say. Don't you just love mindless small talk with strangers you have no interest in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you just love mindless small talk with strangers you have no interest in? maybe ima dick but if i ain't got shit to say, or they look constipated throughout the conversation...i just walk away... why would you apologze or even care, if they're boring...just break the fuck out... when they get home they'll think of somethin to say...

fliptoniaaa Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 i think some people u just have to work through their barrier, and once u do that they wont shut up, cuz ur probably one of the few people that they talk too....and some other people u just dont have that connection, and never will!!!!!!!!

I agree - I'm actually really shy - and have just begun to challenge myself to break away from being that way. I used to be told that I gave off an aura of being very unapproachable - hmm - hope I've changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc55 Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 i say "i hate awkward silence..." if it happends three times in one sitting... dont bother speaking anymore...At that point you start checking out the waitress, hostess, bartender, mexicans washing dishes, whoever. But make it obvious. Once she notices what you are doing she'll want to leave or will def. think of something to say real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 lmao... :laugh: ...lmaoi hate it when conversations lose momentum... ugh ultimate pet peeve with meeting new ppl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainpec Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 When conversation flows, great... but if the conversation is one sided or you are forcing conversation.... give up the fight. At least live to talk another day. Any girl that continues to try to force conversation just pisses me off further. It's like "can't you take a f8en hint?"

dgmodel Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 for real... empty convos or forced convos are prolly one of the worst parts of going on dates... oh man, especially if the person speaks in a dry, monotonous tone like ben stein or something... holy, a while ago i met this girl, and every forty seconds i had to start a new topic, she would answer shit in like one word answers or like half sentences... horrible...

Bling Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 awkward silences are tough. usually i will break a joke or get a bit cheesy to make her laugh or say "omg ur so silly" its an ice breaker. i also am shy though nowhere near as bad as i used to be.......

anotherway83 Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 well if the girl is genuinely interested in you that most prolly wont happen...if it does i just politely excuse myself and say i'll see you around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachjames Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Yeah, if it happens at a party with someone I just met, as you asked, I will either:1) Ask them questions about themself, or2) Excuse myself to get a drink or go to the restroom, or something like that.

havokk Posted August 17 Author Report Share Posted August 17 Yeah, if it happens at a party with someone I just met, as you asked, I will either:1) Ask them questions about themself, or2) Excuse myself to get a drink or go to the restroom, or something like that.yeah, I usually use those approaches. There have been times I felt like I was interviewing someone, it was like pulling teeth trying to have a decent conversation with them. Most times I'll just say I have to go to the washroom then avoid them the rest of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
