A weird fetish i have when it comes to awkward silences is to startle them or scare them by some sudden shit i do, noise, movement whatever and then just go "Dont u hate awkward silences". Some chicks take it well, some hate it but i've never had any negative response other than "Oh ure such a jerk"

The old saying is "Silence is golden". Silence builds awkwardness, which builds tension, sexual tension, which is good. If you hold your frame and you are comfortable with being silent, the pressure is on the girl to continue the interaction and I also use it as a moment to cut the BS and move in for the K-Close or increase the kino.

I love silences. Combine it with eye contact and it's a lethal part of your game.

I made some interesting observation about this phenomenon and learned 2 ways to handle it:

1. I speak the the first thing that comes into my mind. This really works for me. I just take the lead and keep talking. I don't care in that moment what she may wants to hear or may wants to talk about. I do my talk. I lead. It works.

2. I try to move them: "Hey, let's go there." "Let's move a bit!" "Let's take a look at..."

Awkward silence is

a) A lack of male leading
b) A lack of shared values and interest

You cant beat b) - if this is the reason, she is not your type of girl. You simple don't match. Forget it, leave her and save precious lifetime. But you can beat a) - you have to take the lead, mentally (talk) or physical (move)!

I don't think it's that advanced. Hunter's advice is good stuff. Think of a silence.

Option 1) You're stood there shifting your eyes away, with an awkward chuckle at the last joke you just told, and desperately trying to think of the next thing to say. The girl is doing likewise, or looking around for an escape route.

Option 2) You look into her eyes as if trying to figure out what she wants, with a little knowing smirk on your face which, after a couple of seconds, leads into a small laugh, as though you find her eye contact and smile back to be quite cute and funny. (I often deliberately create silences after she's said something just to get this going.)

You can follow option 2 up with whatever you want. She's melting already!

However, my direct advice to anyone who has issues with awkward silences is to be random. Girls like random conversations anyway, far more than mundane ones about work and hobbies etc. etc. The only thing you need to worry about with your randomness is the vibe of the conversation. If you've been jokey and playing around, you can be random about pretty much anything. If you've been a bit more sexual tension type conversation though you don't want to come up with something goofy-random as it will kill the SPAM. But don't fret too much, randomness isn't easy for some people but generally it's the delivery rather than the content of what's said anyway.

Awkward silences might be good at a certain point once you already know each other a little because it creates some tension. However just after opening in the first minutes of meeting her, they are awkward and they can screw up everything.

In order to avoid them, what has helped me is to have a couple of questions (around 6) that you can always ask.
Example:

What do you think about this place?
Do you come here often?
have you seen or done anything crazy here?
what else would you recommend me to do somewhere around here?
...

Usually I try to give everybody 3 chances, meaning that you ask 3 questions, if the conversation does not start naturally after that, because they reply with 1 word answers... you say something like: "it was nice to meet you" and leave.
