I feel really good today had a great day. I encountered a girl I didn't see for like years and had a great convo with her too bad she's pregnant. After I went to school and took an exam I think I did good but well see maybe I did excellent. Well after I finished my exam I started talking to a girl about it(the exam) and we had a good conversation. It was casual we kind of flirted and had a great time. I did at one point feel weakened because the conversation had some silences and I felt pressure to keep it running. But ultimately I recovered. I made sure to make a joke and leave her in a good mood as we departed. I think the only problem I had here is feeling pressure to keep the conversation going.

How do I take away or deal with this pressure to keep the conversation moving. Should I just be chill about it and act like an alpha male and show like I think the pressure should be on her? Or what?
