Okay everything was going fine with me and this guy but like usual on most 1st dates there was a point when our conversation hit a snag and there was a moment of awkard silence. In my attempt to make him at ease I decided to break the silence with a fart.
He gave me a dirty look and left. What did I do wrong? I mean no one likes awkward silences, right?|||You destroyed his manhood. You were supposed to wait for him to go first, then you were to answer with your own. He just couldn't handle a strong woman who wasn't willingly to sit around submissively.
I guess your date hasn't read the etiquette book or he would have understood that a small release at the table is normal and shows that a lady has confidence.|||the fart is the thing that went wroung .ur never spost to do that. i neer do that in front of anyone.

I'm too shy to ask..but do you think he likes me?
This is just a typical "does he like me" question. So there is this guy. We are both 16, but can't drive..YET. Anyway, I know him from soccer. We go to the same club and I'm really crushing on him, but I don't know if he feels the same way. So here are some things that make me feel like he DOES like me.
1. He makes really deep eye contact with me and smiles really big when we're talking.
2. We talk after soccer (which is like 3 times a week).
3. Yesterday after playing, I was stretching by myself on the grass next to the bench and he came over to sit right across from me and started stretching and talking to me. It was really cute because he was making all these jokes and I would laugh and then there would be awkward silence. But I really liked it..I hope he enjoyed it as much as me.
4. There's a soccer tournament that we are going to in September and I told him that I might not go and he's like "NO, if you don't go, I won't go either!"
5. He gave me his number.
6. If we're standing in a large group, he always floats next to me and if I say something that no one else can hear, he always hears it.
7. He says I'm really good at soccer...like he likes to compliment my skillz aha.
8. I catch him staring all the time and when our eyes meet, he just keeps looking and smiles, but usually I have to look away because I'm so shy.
9. When I talk about other guys, he always puts them down and talks about how he's better or whatever.
Why I think he might not like me:
1. He didn't respond to my text! I asked him if he wanted to be on my team on day for a recreational game with my friends. And he never texts me.
2. There's awkward silence right after he tells a non-funny joke, but that lasts only a few seconds..haha
Please I need some opinions!|||I think so and he prob likes ur shyness its def a classy girls signature remeber stand out don't blend in. Give it time and he will confess his feelings

How to find my phone when on silence?
Yes, this is a difficult question ,but this is one of my last hopes. I have recently misplaced my phone now I know for a fact that it is inside my house or right outside. I highly its outside but I have tried many things. Turning the lights off and calling in big spaced areas looking for the tinniest late if you can help me I would so very much appreciate it , you have no idea.|||Will it not vibrate when on silent?
If it will then you might hear it vibrating when you ring.
Ring it lots, as if it isnt in your house, someone might have found it and will answer.
have a good look though, it cant have gone far.|||look for it|||look 4 it|||You don't put it on silent if you expect to lose it.|||Try calling after dark and look for a flickering light and maybe a buzzing noise if you have it on vibrate as well. Good luck and I hope u find it soon. I know what u are going through.|||well, try the metal detector.

Is this the best prank EVER!?!??!!??????????
Last friday at a school, before anyone got in the classroom, i put black dogsh*t in the teacher's black seat. It was a very thin layer so she wouldn't notice...it was the exact same color as the seat. About 20 minutes later, everyone started coming in the classroom, then the teacher entered...i also had a fart machine set up at the the chalkboard.........So, she sat down to take up attendance, then she went up to the chalkboard to write down the thought of the day...fortunately, she DID NOT NOTICE!!! She was also wearing a white dress....Everyone in the classroom was shocked and didn't say anything, dead silence...right at that moment, i pressed the fart machine button about 40 times (i had it set up in my shoe so no one could find out who was doing it...was pressing the button with my big toe). Anyway, she immediately ran to the principal and he came to the class, but they didn't catch me or even know it was me.........Is this the best prank ever? I executed it PERFECTLY!|||lol, it's way too good to be true!!! she sounds like she deserved it. and that is HIGHLY clever with the big toe and everything, by the way. yes, best prank ever. hmmm..... you gave me ideas.....|||No! You are the reason you failed 9th grade and you need to come to terms with that. Can't say I found it funny......wrong section anyway. I think that was rather cruel. Ask yourself if you would have enjoyed sitting in that.|||of course she is...|||I think that was extremely uncool. Have you ever thought about what that has done to your teacher? How can you be so cruel?
Hopeful is right - it is your fault you failed 9th grade, not your teacher's fault. I hope they catch you and that you receive the punishment you deserve.|||if this is what you waste your time on, no wonder you failed 9th grade. it's your fault, not the teacher's. i think your classmates will have a lower opinion of you. maybe someday you will grow up and not be an ignorant jerk!|||To you it maybe the best prank ever but to me that was the meanest prank..EVER! I just wonder what would you feel if the tables were turned, would you still think it was the best prank ever? Oh by the way, don't blame your teacher for you failures, you failed 9th grade because she only gave you the grade that you deserve.|||That's a really good prank and one to be proud of. I wish I had tried that on my evil French teacher.
Bad luck about 9th grade.|||What you don't understand is that the phrase "what goes around comes around" is very real and very true. One day in the far future you will get pay back for that sick thing you did. I don't think you are going to get really far in the world if you are going to blame your own failures on other people and then punish them as well. It's very immature to say the least.|||Don't blame her for your inability to pass 9th grade. This is a horrible thing to do to someone.
No, it was not funny, and no it was not even a partially good prank.
Nicely done, maybe, but not necessary or acceptable at all.|||If you put this much effort into your school work, you would not have failed. Don't worry, you will grow up.|||Your lack of maturity is showing full force.
Part of the point of going to school is learning to deal with difficult people - to prepare you for what is ahead.
Another point of school is for you to learn to act respectably in socially acceptable ways.
Looks like you failed there too.
Joke is on you......stop obsessing with your lack of maturity..........time to grow up
Yeah, Mental Health was the right category for this one.|||Okay, kid.
Playing a prank on ANYONE like that is just straight up cruel. **** like this is what drives people over the edge.
Who cares if she failed you in your class... I'm almost positive that you had more to do with that than she did.
You're going to get mean teachers throughout your schooling career %26amp; the only thing you can do is suck it up, ACT MATURE, %26amp; get over it!!

What's the right way to end a business phone call?
At work, I am absolutely terrible at ending a phone call. I either cut the person off too quickly with a 'bye' and hang the phone up, or there is an awkward silence as I'm waiting for them to begin the call-ending, and vice-versa.
-
If ending a phone call is like a dance, I think I am inclined to step on the feet of the other caller.|||The easiest way to wrap up a phone call is to restate what they called to tell you, thank them for the information, then make it clear that you are winding up the conversation.
For example, if someone called you to give you some statistics that you need for a report, you can begin the intricate call-ending dance by saying, "Well, great, I really appreciate you getting these numbers to me. Now I can get started on those reports." You have acknowledged their giving of the data, you have thanked them, and you have also told them your intention to wrap up the conversation. Usually, their answer will be something along the lines of, "Sure, glad to help you out. Have a good day, and I will talk to you again next week." That's it; you then just say good bye.
It works the same way with anything. If they called to give you a message for your boss, you briefly restate their message, even it it's just that she should return their call, you tell them thank you, and you say you are going to go put it in her inbox right away.
By stating what action you are going to take next, be it passing information on to someone else, getting to work on their request, or using the information they have just given you, you are signalling to them that you are ready to wrap it all up. If they have any other information to give you, they will generally jump in at this point with, "By the way, I also needed to let you know..." and communicate anything else they need to communicate. Simply take that information, and rinse and repeat the process.
By acknowledging what they said, they can rest assured that you understood them correctly, by thanking them you are simply being professional, and by stating what you are going to now do, you are drawing the conversation to an end.
It works the same if you are on the other end of the conversation. Give them the information, thank them for taking it down or for taking the time to talk with you, then tell them your intention to get back to work. With any luck, they will respond by restating your information, thanking you in return, and not starting a conversation about the great restaurant they went to last night, or the crappy manicure they spent too much money on and which is already chipping.
Business communication is like a dance in that each person plays a special part, and one person leads while the other needs to be savvy enough to follow. It's a learned skill, not one we are born with :) And for goodness' sake, if the other person is clearly not leading, step up and lead it yourself.
Good luck!|||Try summing up the main point or points of the call at the end, as in: Ok, well then I'll wait to get that report from you tomorrow..." or whatever and then just say, Thanks so much for your help with this... and then usually Ok, and Bye follows naturally. Write out a few phrases that sound natural to you and practice. if you can find a friend who is willing to role play a little. You'll get more comfortable and less abrupt with practice.|||GOOD BYE, HAVE A NICE DAY, IVE GOT 2 CALLS COMING IN...TRY THAT...OR I GOT TO 'P'????????????|||Tell them when they find the solution to the question/problem that you gave them, then "get back to me"|||Good day always did it for me.|||Good-bye.|||...Thank you for your time today Mr. Jones|||Just say, "Good-bye, is there anything else we need to discuss?". If not, say, "Good-bye. Give my best to your family." and, "If you want, contact me at your convenience."|||depends what the nature of the call is.
here's some ideas though.
thank you.
positive comment about what the person just told u.
summarize what u will do/what the person should expect from u (like i'll check on ___ and call u back).
if there's a silence...maybe the other person was expecting more from u or didn't understand u. ask them if there's anything else or if u explained it adequately.|||Just like in business writing, a business phone call should indicate future action.
In other words, you should finish by saying what you or the other person is to do next. If there is nothing left to do, a simple "We look forward to working with you again" or "Thank you for your time" should work fine.
It is also nice to follow it up with a thank you and/or a goodbye.
Other Examples:
I'll let you know as soon as those papers arrive.
Let us know if you have any problems with the product.
Its been a pleasure working with you, please give us a call if there is anything else you need.
I'll call you with a final estimate next week.
We'll put the notice in the file when it arrives. Let us know if you need it back at anytime.
Its been a pleasure talking with you.
We'll keep you in mind the next time we need service.
