post a list of things to say when u hit akward silence. or if anyone knows any links that would help me that would be great.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
someone really needs to...

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

There is no right thing to say when you get in those situations. The best advice I can give you, is to not hit awkward silences.
Conversation should flow naturally. If you're forcing it, then you're gonna hit a gap where nothing happens. My rule is to always ask questions that I want to answer. I'll ask her a question that I would want to answer, then after she responds, I will agree with what she said, and flip her answer into mine. (basically say the same exact thing she said in my own words)
That way, it seems like you're asking her questions about herself and not talking about yourself when in fact you're doing the exact opposite.
Next, tell stories. Whatever the situation is, tell a story about that situation that YOU have been in. If you tell someone elses story, it's not gonna be as funny and she won't feel associated with you.

Don't feel like you HAVE to say anything. But it might be a good time for an activity transition. "Hey, let's do this!" Or if it's just a pickup (not a date), that's your time to get the digits and eject.miniPIMPIN said:

So this one time I was banging this chick right....Francisco d'Anconia said:
Alright... quick story. Probably a "You had to be there" story, but I'll tell it anyway.
I use to be in the Marine Corps (enlisted). Well as being junior Marines we didn't have offices. Instead we had a big common area. So about 15 junior Marines would sit in this area and talk and b/s about any and everything. There wasn't a topic that couldn't be touched.
Every now and then, our superiors (officers) would come into the common area. Everyone would stop everything they were doing and look to the officer. Most times, the officer would say "At ease.. please carry on with whatever you guys were talking about"
I would always reply with "So this one time, I was ****ing this chick right...."
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I agree with squirrels, dont feel like you HAVE to say anything, but for the most part talk to her like you would a friend. Ask general questions and be comfortable, you're not on a interview with her so be relaxed and get to know eachother, and if you're just gettin her number make it as quick as possible and go!
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Everytime you hit an awkward silence, remember the Seinfeld episode where he says he hasn't kissed certain woman because he and she have really great conversations and they never hit awkward silences.
But on the next scene, they are talking. Next thing they hit an awkward silence and they kiss.
Really funny.

War Against Betaism
Master Don Juan
Every time there's a silence and I'm with a girl, I always play thumb war with her. And I ALWAYS cheat. The part where you have to count to 10 in order to win, they usually try to let loose and when they do, I claim that they're the ones cheating and playing with them isn't any fun.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

you don't HAVE to continue the conversation, do something else.
It's also pretty cool when the girl is the one that reinitiates the conversation.

For those of you who have never seen "Inside the Actor's Studio", watch just one installment for the last few minutes. The host does this sort of simple set of interview questions:
"What is your favorite word?"
"What is your least favorite word?"
"What sound or noise do you love?"
"What sound or noise do you hate?"
"What turns you on?" - Often gets a quizzical "did I hear you right?" look.
"What turns you off?"
"What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?"
"What profession would you not like to attempt?"
"What is your favorite curse word?"
"What do you want to hear God say when you reach the pearly gates?"
For girls who have seen the show, they get that sense of being a starlet for a few moments. And if she's into you, she'll ask you the same questions.
