How do I avoid awkward silences in a convo with my boyfriend?

Teibusc, what she means is that they suddenly fall out of subjects to talk about, and dunno what more to say, and if they try it’ll just seem a bit off cause it’s nothing they can really talk about, so instead they get this embarrassing silence.

Well Carol, I take it that you call each other rather frequently each week, and that can have the effect of making the talk kinda monotonous… it happens sometimes between people… even the very best of friends… suddendly you’ve been around all the latest news. Have often been there myself though I usually try break the silence joking around or fooling for a bit, get a little play going between me and my friend or girlfriend. Flirt with him, ask him something (even though it’s hard to figure out what to ask), try get to talk about planning something… going on a trip somewhere… to the zoo, cinema, beach (okay pretty cold this time of the year), a party or something.

You could also try to wait a few more days before calling him or have him calling you, so the distance also could bring you closer to each other again. Although it’s something you should be careful about since he could interpret it as if you don’t care about him anymore, or get worried that you found someone else
