How can I “fix” the awkward silences in conversations?

bigD: How can I “fix” the awkward silences in conversations?
Many times when I meet a girl that I’m attracted to and I’m in the middle of a conversation with her, we have some awkward pauses where neither of us really know what to say. What are some things that I can do or say to prevent this in the future, or to “recover” from the pause when it happens?

Thanks!

its not about just filling in the silent gaps with gibberish. the whole conversation needs to flow and be relevant, not just a group of random thoughts that you say out of fear of there being silence

Have ready some questions that require a long answer, such as “what was the last movie that you shared with your best girlfriend” , even if you watched it, keep asking like if you are very interested.

Its OK. the silence is normal.

A simple smile with a direct eye contact will solve your problem.
If not then try slight indirectly discussing this “SILENCE” thing directly to HER. this will result in one more advantageous way=> You will come to know if she thinks the same way as you think about her!

She will give you indirect signals, CATCH THOSE SIGNALS. Like she may shake her leg slightly while talking to you or she may play with her own fingers this means=> She likes talking to you, and she also feels the same way as you.

Silence is good. You will understand each other more because of this silence. Some things are needed to be understood, observed those are not told!
