A mental model for handling those uncomfortable pauses or miscommunications in flirting.
Awkward moments are inevitable when flirting, but they don't have to be detrimental. Acknowledge the awkwardness with humor or a lighthearted comment to diffuse tension. This shows confidence and can make the interaction more enjoyable for both parties. Remember, everyone experiences these moments; how you respond can turn them into memorable and positive experiences. Embrace vulnerability and use it to connect on a deeper level.
The more you embrace the awkwardness, the less awkward it becomes.
