Question

i promised this really cool guy that i'd call him today

i already hate talking on the phone as it is, and im just nervous i guess

i hate awkward silences , any tips on how to calm down or anything really, how to get over phone phobia

Answer 1

Write down a list of things to talk about, things that you're both interested in. What your plans for the weekend are etc. Think of it as your just talking to a friend and what you normally talk to your friends about. Keep the list in front of you and if there's an awkward silence pick something from your list and ask him about it. Just remember to breathe the best way to get over your fear is to face and you just have to practice. You'll be ok. JUST GO CALL HIM!!  

Answer 2

Haha, I hate talking on the phone too i never know what to say :)

Just start talking and if he doesnt take the lead

then say something like "So whats up?" and then maybe he'll

tell you about hes day or something , you can say something about it

You: So whats up?

Him: I have to babysit for my lil sister

You: How old is sher?
