Hi all,

Me and my friend have a different view on silences in conversations, right after approaching. My nature is to always fill the silences, by initiating the conversation, to avoid awkward silences and to keep the girl entertained.

My friend says that I talk to much, as he has a different mindset. He says, let the silence be and be comfortable with the silence. The person who breaks the silence is the weaker one, there he/she feels less at ease and thus loses in SMV.

What are your thoughts?
