<p>so im just curious...how do you guys deal with awkward conversations, first date types of things, now knowing what to talk about?</p>

2

<p>um if you're mature like me, you deal with it.
suck it up.
be a man.
laugh about it.</p>

3

<p>Any reason why you want to know? I'm horrible at awkward conversations, but I try to laugh about it or take it as a joke.</p>

4

<p>I'd love to know too...if theres anything I can't stand its awkwardness
I always giggle uncontrollably and mumble </p>

<p>I've discovered the only way to deal with awakward situations is to avoid them completely. If it is unavoidable, just always keep a list of things in your head that you can talk about it.</p>

5

<p>wow. this is interesting to me, the fact that young adults actually find themselves incapable of dealing with quote-unquote "awkward situations."</p>

<p>make fun of yourself and/or the situation.
after laughing, change the subject.
simple as that.</p>

6

<p>i try not to go out with guys with whom i can't converse naturally</p>

<p>..unless they're really good kissers.</p>

7

<p>alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol</p>

8

<p>Well you've got to start with having a personality. After that things tend to work out on their own.</p>

9

<p>I usually start laughing and say something dumb.</p>

10

<p>I'm actually love those situations. I love getting to know people and I always have so much to say. It's after getting to know a person that conversation starts to run dry... unless we have a lot of common interests. I'm not really big on small talk.</p>

11

<p>Usually laugh it off... my life is one giant awkward situation anyway.</p>

<p>If that doesn't work, diesel's advice works great too.</p>

12

<p>I usually smile and do the awkward turtle followed by the awkward moose, she laughs, and we move on. It would really depend on the topic though.</p>

13

<p>YES awkward turtle never fails haha</p>

14

<p>I've rarely been in reallllllly awkward conversations/moments, but whenever I am it's always best to acknowledge the awkwardness. :]</p>

15

<p>yeah seriously, why is this even a question?
just be like "wow THAT was just sliiiiightly awkward."
do the awkward turtle.
laugh.
make fun of it later.</p>

<p>I'm beginning to think that many "intelligent" people, especially on CC need to get a social life lolz</p>

16

<p>"well this is awkward" </p>

<p>my friend always says this when we're in an awkward situation. then everyone laughs and the awkward situation is over haha.</p>

17

<p>I usually try to make the situation even more awkward. It then becomes either really funny or really uncomfortable.</p>

18

<p>what's the awkward turtle?</p>

19

<p>YouTube</a> - awkward turtle = awkward turtle.
sometimes when it gets really awkward i just give them a hug (if i know them well) to make it even more awkward or i just give them a wink and go on. or i do weird dances.</p>

20

<p>haha i think its funny u guys would do awkward turtle in awkward situations
for me, when we both know its awkward, we just kinda keep the silence there. i usually start awkward moments and theres usually a huge silence until the other person brings something up and we'd go back to talking.</p>
