Say more often I don’t know I need to think about it. You than get back to person who asked later. But that‘s important, don’t be lazy intellectually. The worst is to just say whatever pops into your mind. Nobody needs to know anything on the spot.
awkwardness is just a feeling, if you keep talking whether you're asking more questions or elaborating further on ur point you're filling the silence one way or another 🙂↕️ or alternatively just enjoy the scenery and then comment on it after somethings caught your eye! #beurself
If I run out of questions to ask or things to say on a date its easier to just say… I cant think of any more questions, rather than forcing something. You can always find another thing to do or! or just sit in silence without expectations. Awkward silence isn't awkward if your both know the reason why its silent 👍
My mom taught me this in order to slow down the nervous system. Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, breathe out for 4, hold for 4. If you're an anxious person you probably already know this. Also a good way to fall asleep really fast.
