How does one deal with awkward situations?

[ she wasn't entirely sure what to type, and she had typed and re-typed this so many times before finally posting this. she figured it was best not to ramble, or give too much context. if context was asked for, she would give it, but otherwise, it may not have been necessary. ]

Avoid them.

[ Isn't he the most helpful?

Okay, he'll try to be actually somewhat helpful. ]

Depends on situation specifics.

[ hahaha, Duke. ]

In some cases they can't be avoided, I'm afraid.

Well ... um.

I think ... a friend of mine may have assumed that I wanted to be more than that.

I guess it depends on what you mean by an awkward situation!

[So helpful Colette.]

Sometimes ignoring them is best, but other times that's the worst thing to do.

Right. I don't think ignoring it would be the best idea in this situation. It wouldn't resolve anything.

[Zelos stared at the public message on his feed, mentally kicking himself. He'd just been browsing through and come across it. His curiosity got the better of him and he'd clicked and was sorely wishing he hadn't. He didn't need context, of course. He'd been there. And he'd hurt her feelings.

Wasn't that always the way? Every time he actually cared if he hurt someone, he ended up doing it anyway.

Well, he'd make it easy on her and just leave her alone from now on. That way she wouldn't have to deal with his sorry butt anymore and could get on with life.

Though maybe he should apologize first.

He started to type a quick message, then deleted it. No, that kind of thing was better in person, then he'd stay out of her hair for good.

Yup, that's the plan. Just a casual apology when he ran across her next, no reason to go out of the way and make her more upset.

Right.

He set his SFC on the nightstand and laid awake, staring at the ceiling.]

Don't fall for it, Estelle! Boys just want to get in your tutu!

I agree with the answers. It would be best to avoid them if possible.

And if one has already found themselves in an awkward situation? What then?

What sort of awkwardness? If you have inadvertently offended someone, it's best to apologize... but if you were being truthful about your feelings, then you should stick to it even if the results are uncomfortable.

I may have inadvertently offended him ... I think he may have gotten the impression that I wanted to be more than just friends. He and I have only just met and become friends recently, though.

It seems awkward now, and I don't know how to handle it. I've never been in a situation like this before.

It depends ...?

However, the most logical thing would be to smooth it over somehow.

I was hoping to get some advice on how to do so.

Awkwardly.

It certainly does feel awkward.

Sometimes awkward situations can't be avoided. In such cases, it's best to laugh at yourself.

Understandable. However, what if this awkward situation involves more than one person?

I want to make things feel okay again.

awkward how

Edited 2012-01-06 05:35 (UTC)

I feel as though I may have ... given someone a wrong impression.

Well, it depends on what you mean by awkward. Explain?

I'm afraid I may have inadvertently led a friend of mine to assume that I wanted to be more than friends.

joke about it.

I've been getting that suggestion a lot ... I'm not so sure it's the right thing to do in this situation.

However they feel best.

Should I try to talk to him, then?
