[Not sure is this topic belongs here or not] Code: - Have you ever have that awkward silence between you and your friend? - Wondering what is there to say? - What should we talk about when we have those moments? - How do you feel? - How do you break that awakward silence? The only times I have these awkward silence is between a friend that I've only met, like through a friend or something. When I do . . . feels really awkard and you just want the time to pass by! lol. And like you thinking 'what do I say??' lol. So it's always better to have more than 2 people. hahaha* so then if you or the friend don't talk the other one might talk. hehehe.
If it is a really long, tense silence i will make a fart sound with my hands. Really breaks the tension.
we can't avoid awkward silence, especially when one of ur friend say something wrong or shouldn't open his/her mouth when it's not necessary...but when it happen, just put a smile on your face and look at around you, then your friends will ask you what make you smile, and then you can go on another subject and forgot why u was so quiet before...
plenty of times, but mostly with new friends, cause your not really sure what to talk about with close/old friends theres hardly any cause you can talk crap to each other all day long and it will still be a decent convo
I am usually the person who breaks the awkward silence. I just talk about recent news or ask about the other person's life.
if you haven't asked already, ask "so how do you know _____ (whoever introduced you to that person)" or just do something stupid or talk about whatever's around you or movies or basically, anything.
oh yeh with close friends i can just talk any random crap to her. lol but when a friend you just met you cant really do that. hahaha. talk about the weather is always a good topic! lmao!
<<---- My ears are burning -blush If I'm with friends I just rag on the Leafs a little bit... always gets some discussion going Its only happened to me once in an interview... the interviewer asked me if I knew what some (poetic) word meant in Chinese, and being banana I guessed... I guessed correctly And he started talking philosophy with me. But there was an akward little silence there that scared the hell outta me xD
That always happen with friends I've just met...I don't know what to say except grab anything that comes to my head
- Have you ever have that awkward silence between you and your friend? Never really, I am too much of a chatterbox to let that happen. - Wondering what is there to say? See above. - What should we talk about when we have those moments? See above x 2. But otherwise, talk about film, music, news, technically anything. - How do you feel? I guess it would be awkward as it is AWKWARD silence, but to me, if the conversation dies a natural death, I treasure those moments of silence which are rare and comfortable. - How do you break that awakward silence? "OMG, look at that" while pointing to some random things on which I can elaborate, which is pretty much ANYTHING.
with friends... no... coz i'm comfortable being with my friends in silence... but if i was on a date yeah... i usually start talking about the weather -lol
Hmm;; i'm sure eveyone would feel weird..but sometime its just comfortable to be in silence.. If i want to break it i would say random stuff whatever that comes to mind..or the classic line that wont get you anywhere "How's life?"
yeh i hate it when you get them random silences as well....so i always just keep talking and talking sometimes i dont even know what im saying and after saying it i think to myself -ohmy that was so bad....-lol
- Have you ever have that awkward silence between you and your friend? For me, there are two situations that would pertain for my friend(s) and me to have a "awkward silence" - 1) Don't know what to say ... so I'll make a random remark like, "when was the last time we went bull tipping?" 2) When one of my friends had a death in his family. Even though the silence was awkward, but it was appropiate. I just sat there with him. - Wondering what is there to say? It depends on the situation. Sometimes words are not needed. - What should we talk about when we have those moments? If it is your friends ... i would think anything? However, since most friendships are essencely derived from a similar agreement of likes/dislikes. The discussion would probably lean towards that particular topic(s). - How do you feel? I guess if it was an awkward silence. I would feel awkward. " - How do you break that awakward silence? Depends on the situation. However, humor is a good way to break up must silent and/or tense moments. on a side note, ime (in my experience)-- an awkward silence is an important tool for an interview. it can show the interviewer the kind of personality the interviewee has. if the interviewee continue to talk and talk and talk during the awkward silent portion of the interview; it may suggest that he/she is uncomfortable with dealing in an unknown situation. however, this is only conjucture.
- Have you ever have that awkward silence between you and your friend? Not many that I can recall. There are moments of silence, but those are not awkward. - Wondering what is there to say? Usually, it occurs right after I had an argument with a friend. Then I wouldn't know what to say - What should we talk about when we have those moments? Anything on the 'safe' side after the 'argument'. Like plans to eat? Food is always a good topic... haha - How do you feel? If it's 'awkward' silence, naturally I would feel awkward rite? Hmm - How do you break that awakward silence? Anything, from a comment on the weather to the general topics. "True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable."
There is no awkward silence with me. There are silent times, but they are never awkward. A man should feel comfortable in any situation. There's no need to break the tension as it can be a good thing. If you're on a date, you can even look at your date during this time (they'd feel plenty awkward and will want to break the tension), when they ask you "what?", lay on a confident smile with a simple "I was just enjoying your company". If it's your gf, you can step it up with a "I was just admiring you".
