i don't really like driving with other people, well besides my best friends because there are always awkward silences! like when you're with a boy you like, and you are driving and he is in the passenger seat, it's like we don't really talk? and it's just an awkward silence, and sometimes i will be like "whats wrong" just to say something but i just don't know how to not have awkward silences? it's fine when we're together like at someone's house, but while driving it is really awkward sometimes. does this happen to anyone else? what do you usually say, or do? thanks :)! 18/f by the way
