It seems like y’all addressed the issue and got through it, so unless you feel like there’s more to talk about just try to have some fun together. If it was me, I would appreciate if you were to acknowledge that it was awkward but want to move on, and maybe propose something enjoyable to do together. Fun and laughter always helps shift the energy 🙂

ik ppl hate hearing this, but just be straight up. maybe break the ice by sending a meme about ur situation to make it light. and then be like, hey i like the back and forth but i would actually want to hang out and date/go out.
and then at the end you can send another funny meme to make the interaction less awkward. like a bye lol type thing

The “we’re not really strangers” cards or some similar ice breaker question style situation is a great thing to fall back on if you’re feeling worried about running out of ideas/topics! Besides that I will think of an activity to do (like “we both cook dinner” or “we both chat while cleaning” or “stitch and bitch”) helps ease some of the intensity. I even have a friend to whom I send a “checkin” Google doc and then we FaceTime to debrief the updates on it. Other people we go full yap and others still we just coexist.
It’s all nice because the point is being in one another’s presence. Theres no rules which is fun but if that’s what’s making you stressed you can always just tell the other person that and maybe they have something in mind!

I totally get the temptation to ask insightful and thought-provoking questions but remember sometimes you need to keep it simple. If it's a loud party with lots of people, not everyone is going to want to have a super deep conversation with someone they just met. Small talk is annoying and tedious but sometimes it's a much-needed entry point. Meet some cool people, get their contact info, and then message them later with some big questions.

Breaking my very thin, almost non existent air of mystery because I got a haircut I actually like, my favorite jeans fit again, it’s a full moon eclipse, 70°, and both of my kids’ birthdays are today!! MAGIC IS REAL AND I AM FULL OF LOVE! 💗 💗💗💗💗💗
