say... "hmmm, awkward silence" lmaoo
-
Burp. Repeatedly if necessary!
-
I'm going out with this guy I dated five years ago-and haven't seen since-(we ran into each-other for the first time in five years last Friday.), and I'm kind of worried about ackward moments. I really don't know how to break them. I usually start cracking up, laughing...but that's just weird, hahaha! Anyways, anyone have any ideas?
-
I usually give them a reason for nervous laughter with a intentionally bad joke.
-
Hum. The song I'm humming may spark a conversation! :-p
-
I would say holy lets not talk so much ok
-
I just say " Well now I guess I better let you go " and then the conversation starts back up ---
-
i'll usually say "so... you like... stuff...?" in my ralph wiggum voice.
-
Usually with "Well, anyway..."
-
"uh yeah what else?"/ "hmmmmm so....."/ "okay haha silence LOL" Yup, try these if you're a bit slow-witted.
-
i hang up. it offends some people but if they have nothing to say i have no time to listen. if i dont do that then i like to start a new conversation about nothing relevant to anything. this forces the other person to think of their own thing to talk about else they have to deal with me talking about absolutely nothing. or they hang up.
-
I usually do the whole... "Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh..." Or "Soooooo..." Or Make random humming Doot doot doo noises.
-
"so how are things?" thats how i do it, and it seems to work
-
Great question! I usually say "So when am I gonna see you?" or "I really appreciate everything you've done for me lately, you've been a really big help", I like to be positive
-
I have another call.
-
I usually just say "I love ow you're talking to me"
-
i usually say soo whatcha doin or what are you doing today or whats up or so do you wanna hang out today something along those lines but it really depends on who im talkin to
-
say " aw man, the phone is dead again. somebody call the ambulance plese...sigh..."the person ur talkin to is bound to giggle and then u say "arrghhh! the phone has risen frm the dead and is talking to me!help!" then the person usually starts the conversation again.it works wonders.particularly,if ur talking to ur partner, u will probably make a good impression and they get more intersted in you(thats how it started for me.)
-
Just start singing a song that's in your head.
-
I would love to use it as an excuse to say good bye and put the phone down, as i don't like long telephone conversations.
-
Both me and my boyfriend either hum some random shit, make some random noise, or sing horribly on purpose to make each other laugh. It is hilarious even if it doesn't start conversation right back up. It just takes away the awkwardness and replaces it with amusement.
-
Start singing "silence is golden !"
-
I would think this hardly happens with women! At least not between my friends and I. I would probably say 'ok, I gotta go -talk to you later'.
-
Good Night..!!
-
be like "well this is akward, anways" lol or start singing the song from dumb and dumber.. "mock-ing, bird-yaahy! lol..j/k if its a really akward pause act like a bird just flew by and scared you or something so that the conversation takes a different turn and the subject flows along or if you get nervous on the phone have objects around you and notes on what you want to remember to talk about so you dont blank out a bunch of times, and some water lol :-)
-
Flatulate melodically.
-
Has anything happened to you lately?
-
I do my Taxes. Either my Taxes are really simple, or I just suck with phone conversations.
-
Say, "What's up with you?" or "What have you done lately for fun?", just to get the feelings going again. That will get them talking more!
-
I fill it with awkward noise. ;) Phrases like, "Uuuuhmmm, but uhmmm, uuuh, well uuuuh" or "WOOOO! How ya gonna stop the Nature Boy?!" are excellent conversational lubricants. :D
-
I would say, "can you hear me now?"
-
haha just like pretend your doing something else.. and be like woops sorry i was doing, something.
-
I have three techniques that can be used variously depending on who is on the line: 1. Just hang up as fast as possible and ignore it if they call back 2. Fart 3. Make a hissing sound interspaced with "are you there", "can you hear me" then follow instruction number 1.
-
Well how 'bout those ________________fill in the team name.
-
like this because they can go the wrong way and before you know it, the object of your desire is done: you start shouting Hello, hello, can you hear me? down the line - make sure that only a deaf person would not have heard the irritation in your voice as you muttered 'oh, for fucks sake"... and then you spend the rest of the day being the complete opposite and are so happy and friendly towards the person, so easy to get along with, lovely personality shining thgough that you leave them thinking "that was not an impatient person I heard earlier, look how nice she is, nobody this friendly and warm would mutter insults down the phone". This has the ultimate result of them them feeling guilty and making a bit more effort to be entertaining company. This method is perfect, you say something offensive and they feel guilty about it and thus you only ever have to endure that single awkward pause again and should the person not fancy you as much you hoped, then you will part ways and your pride will be firmly instact.

so uh.. what are you wearing..
-
I like to use a quote from Caddy Shack. "So I got that goin for me. Which is nice"
-
I've been known to act like I'm laughing at something on TV. :) Silly but it works every time. :)
