Usually topic changes are the best way to deal in those conversations. I usually hate when that happens, so I try to come up with something new to keep the conversation going.

Well, seph old buddy, I think I have the answer to your question. Tell a nerdy, corny, or just a really uber funny joke, and then people will either be like :"wtf", or they will be like "BWAHAHAHAH". And there you have it, folks. How to end an awkward pause in a conversation, thing style.

I usually find some way to end it. A funny smart comment. Or maybe by just looking at the person next to me and doing my classic "eyebrow lift" which either makes the moment or breaks the moment.

I just wait until the other person talks... Or, I just change the conversation's topic.

Good question.

Method 1: The best way to deal with this situation is to make sure you avoid awkward pauses entirely. What you'll want to do is abruptly interrupt the other person in mid-sentence and randomly change the subject to let them know that you are taking control of the conversation. By doing this, you can avoid most common scenarios that lead to awkward pausing, and your conversation will have a much greater chance of success. Lean on good conversation topics such as Politics, Religion, or maybe even Salary. Once you have your topic, you're going to want to hammer him with your opinions and try to get him to agree with your point of view. He will notice you did all of this to prevent an awkward moment, and he will not only enjoy being around you but may even worship you for your proficiency in preventing an awkward conversation.

Method 2: Make random animal noises.

Method 3: Remove the Fermata.
