Uncomfortable silences happen on the on the phone..how do I stop them?

Question - (2 April 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 2 April 2009)
A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have a pen pal who I exchange emails quite often. I call him on the phone very rarely b/c we are long distance. When I call him there are moments in which we are just silent, so I get nervous and cut it short so we hang up quickly. I want to talk so much with him, but I just can't.

What's happening to me, I love him but can't say more or don't feel like he wants to talk more. I mean he makes conversation but I get too shy and hang up. What can I do about it?

crimson_kiss agony auntHow about before you make that phone call put a pen and paper to work for you!

Write down little ideas or questions you might want to talk about, write them down as you think of them during the day and then when you do make the call and are at a loss for words, look down at your list and pick something then go with the flow.

the best thing to do is to make short talk ask how his day went ask if anything is new the usual and when that question is already answered just ask a random one. questions are the best way to conversant.
