To prevent the awkward silences, I usually quickly pick something up out of my head and ask it.. I often find myself asking "How are your shoes?"
Awkward silences occur because you have nothing to say. I'm pretty sure my bad social skills have to do with the frequent awkward silences. I have a lot of awkward silences with my boyfriend but obviously we are compatible because we are dating so I don't think that is quite it.

Yeeah, there is a lot of standing around making odd noises, but like I said, I usually spout of whatever is on my mind and see how the hell they react to that.

..How is that funny at all..?


Hey bud, just lighten up. It's one of those things that you'd have to hear, not read.


Er. ... Lighten up about what? o_O
All I did was ask how that's funny.


It's funny because "gay" would be its gender, rather than boy or girl. Also, it could be a one-up on the people who argue that homosexuality is a choice. And (unless the doctor tests every baby's genes--I've heard that homosexuality is determined by genes) how would the doctor know the baby was gay? It's not like the baby can tell him/her.


I seriously don't get why people would find it funny. But anyways, on to the lack of logic in your argument. Gay is not a gender. It is a sexual orientation. Completely different. Also, even though there is a genetic factor to homosexuality, it is nothing that can be tested for. And even if it is genetic, it is not completely the entire reason for all gay people. It's the nature/nurture issue all over again. Compare it to alcoholism. That has a genetic predisposition. But not everybody who has alcoholic parents is an alcoholic thelmself. It's there but may not manifest itself. Again, I don't see where the "gay baby" thing is funny. Maybe like WTF?? And you laugh at the sudden random rediculousness of it, but in and of itself, it is not funny.

I second what deppfan said in the last post.
That said, the answer to the first post is very simple...Just propose a new topic. It really shouldn't be very difficult.

I just randomly yell 'I HAVE THE GEASS!'
If it's someone I just happen to be having a conversation with, it gets some 'lolwut?''z
If it's someone who's used to me, it's no surprise. xD
