Zebra that's class mate haha, cheers!
@Octave In the situation it would have been awkward to try and create sexual tension. I'd seen her at the gym and then opened at the bus stop on the way home, I already knew her from my Rowing club so it wasn't a cold approach. We chatted on the 15min bus journey back to our uni accommodation, then we waited in the cafeteria for the kitchen to open for food still talking merrily but then when we went to actually line up for food the silences happened - as though we'd ran out of stuff to talk about. I couldn't try to escalate because we had people in front of us and behind us in the queue..
You say to hold eye contact? what if you look at the HB's eyes trying to make it but she's just looking around or down, in that situation eye contact is made when I actually say something (give her a reason to look at me).
After we got our food conversation flowed again, I just felt really uncomfortable during that silence.
I'll look up 60yearsof challenge buddy, thanks.

None of that shit matters, you can always build sexual tension. You should always be builidng it a little anyway. Silences are only awkward if you let them be. I mean I can sit in a room with anyone from my family, or go somewhere with them, and not say anything for quite a bit. Do you think it feels awkward? No it doesn't, because neither of us care. Same with girls. Obviously you don't want to be silent for too long, but you'll do better if you just relax rather than letting it bother you. It will make it feel like you've known eachother for a long time.
