"Well, this is awkward.", WTF, don't say that! Options

[HakunaMatata]

What do you do in awkward situations?

[*Spencer*]

i'm usually like "umm..."

i hate when you say something and noone responds and conversation just dies.

[YourSuperior]

I'm usually stumped, and nothing comes out.

[Joss-eh-lime]

Awkward situations happen to me WAY too often..

Like the conversation just totally dies out
& I'll say something random and ignore the fact there was a silence
I say an old joke me and my friends have, they just don't laugh
& Then I'll say "okay so its not funny anymore" dramatically. They usually laugh.
Someone says something so weird and wrong for the conversations direction
& I laugh and say "okay..." and change the subject so they dont feel idiotic.

[lovescream]

I pull out the "AWWWWWKWAAAAAARDDD.." haha.

[no-name]

I just walk away slowly and not look at the person or I just say "Yeah..this is hella awkward"

[*Elba*]

I nod and smile. Yeah, I hate awkward situations.

[Lanochka]

When I get awkward usually I'd say something along the lines of "well, this isn't awkward at all" and the other person would laugh and be like "yeah"

[*Moderator*]

Usually, I try to break the ice by saying something like "SO! Those chicks over there are hot." As long as the conversation keeps going, ya know?

[dustbunny]

i do the awkward turtle if its IRL. but online im just like OMG LISTEN TO THE CRICKETS!! jk let's go pick flowers or something..and then the conversation moves forward

[*davinci*]

"Ummm, too awkward. Okay. Anyway...." *changes the subject*

=)

[DarkImpressions]

It depends like what it is.

[transcendentalis...]

i start singing.

or point out a random person and say, "doesn't he look like a hippie?"

[fagget]

I usually kiss the person or dance.
Or I'd yell out ESKIMO KISS!
Or high five!

[LadyXTor]

I start dancing.

[Crash2]

I'll start by saying, "So anyway..." and follow up with something random

[1angel3]

I pass out, jk. No laugh it off.

[luku]

I stay stuck on stupid and don't say a word.

[*SinfullySweet*]

I can't do anything.. the other person will either continue to make it okward, or make it even more okward.

[silver-rain]

It depends. Usually I'll go, "So...." and maybe the other person will come up with something to say.

[monxcheri]

i usually just keep quiet or sing something random to change the subject. i hate awkward situations. ugh.

[*stephinika*]

Depends on the level of awkwardness, haha...I'll usually try and just change the topic or something.

[*karmakiller*]

If it's online or on the phone, I'll usually just start saying random stuff; what I say depends on who I'm talking to. If it's in person I'll usually laugh a little with a friend and say AWKWARD, but if it's someone I don't know I'm usually always quiet so I'd probably just stop talking and try to get away from them as soon as possible.

[*Insurmountable*]

I usually start asking questions to get a conversation going again >_<

[clarity]

i'll be likee "heh...... so how about them cows, huh?". Lol.

[*Programmer*]

break the ice...or their jaw....

[bamababy89]

let the awkward moment turn into a silent moment,
then let the awkward silence brew for a few seconds
and shout out the line "BUTT SEX!!!"

gets 'em every time.

[Jeng]

uhmmm okay.....-someone died-
every time there's an akward situation, someone dies.

[clarity]

^ FO REALZZZ


lol. that would actually be kind of sad if that was true.

[xFaith]

Um.. say nothing xD

It depends on the situation though

[*Villainess*]

I Make a random humming noise...And it makes the giggle and then it usually starts something else from there.

[pinacoolada]

It depends.
If it's on IM...
Brb (I'm not really going anywhere but neither is this conversation)

[Gigi]

My guy friend said that once.

I said, "Well, you saying it doesn't make it any less awkward..."

And we both started laughing. So it worked. Sort of.

Other times I stare off into space...hum a bit...think of something interesting to say...and I'll walk off.

[*Uronacid*]

I whip it out and jerk off meanwhile hopeing no-one looks.

[*Villainess*]

I whip it out and jerk off meanwhile hopeing no-one looks.

You need jesus and a hug if you do shit like that.

[heyyfrankie]

i look down and fiddle my fingers.....fo real. :////

[*Uronacid*]

You need jesus and a hug if you do shit like that.

Sometimes people think I'm so cool that they start playing "follow the leader"

[mastashake15]

for some reason i think awkward situations are so funny lol
i just start laughing out of nowhere and they look at me funny

[arghrawr]

I usually make note of how we're going throught the awkward silence part of our conversation or mention how nice the crickets sound tonight or how fluffy that nice bit of tumbleweed looks...then I'll ask for a change in subject.

[michellerrific]

"So do you think I'm weird now?"



or divert directly to a new subject.

[*Michelle*]

i'm usually like "umm..."

i hate when you say something and noone responds and conversation just dies.

Me, too >_>

OR EVEN WORSE

When you're talking to someone in a crowded area and they LEAVE... and you are standing there blabbing to yourself.

It happens to me when I'm shopping... a lot.

[GirlKissesGirl]

All I usually do is say, "Ummm... okay then." and turn away.

[xKatt]

GAY BABY!

Sorry that was inappopriate, wasn't it?

[KELLYYY]

usually i'm just like, "ummm. yeaaaa..." haha.
