Question by OverItOverAgain: How to keep a conversation going?
So every night I’m on the phone with my friend for about 2 hours. And every time there are more then a few long awkward silences… because neither of us can think of anything to say! And after a while he’ll be like “Hey, talk to me” but I can’t think of anything to say! What are things I can say to fill in these awkward silences?
These awkward silences come after all the obvious things we’ve talked about like what we did that day, what’s new, etc. So we’ve already covered all that

Share a random fact about yourself which you think your friend doesn’t know. Then build up on that. This is what me and my ‘friend’ usually do. Haha! We talk for at least three hours on the phone.
Another idea is to think ahead of time which subjects to talk about. Like, interests, hobbies, current events, etc.
Hope that helps getting those tumble weeds out of the way!
just say the first thing that comes to your head for example right now im thinking of apples and then the other person will be like did u just say apples and u say yes and theyll ask why and that starts another conversation lol
