i always say "this is kind of awkward haha!" and 90% of the time they'll agree, it makes the mood and the conversations instantly lighter because at least now we know that the feeling is mutual and we can have something to build on :D

Bring up a fun fact, it breaks the ice and gets a conversation rolling. If that doesn’t work, being honest also works. Addressing the awkwardness head on really helps remove the tension.

Literally the best thing ever. Any variant of it works too. If you acknowledge the silence then idk, it’s less awkward??

Sometimes the best thing to do is just embrace the awkwardness. sometimes a Conversation gets awkward and the more you try to avoid that, the more the conversation becomes artificial and dis genuine. its normal to have awkward moments, and the best way to embrace it is to acknowledge it. if an awkward silence occurs maybe say “that got awkwardly quiet“ sometimes when things get awkward it’s a sign to switch subjects. ALWAYS try to find common ground when talking to new people. Ask them what they’re interested in, it’s fine to ask questions. Lastly if You draw a blank on what to say, if your brain freezes and you suddenly can’t think anymore, Make sounds until they’re words. The most awkward thing to do is nothing, so just do something
