Today I started talking to this girl who was sitting next to me. The conversation was pretty ok actually, but I felt she could have contributed more to the conversation. Anyways, like after 15 mins I sort of run out of topics and the conversation stopped. So she is still next to me and there was this awkward silence now.

So what do you do here? Leave? Bu what if I want to stay longer on the beach lol?

Do I keep striking conversations with her? Don't think this is a good one.. So do I just keep the silence, I mean I was fine with it, I was nice to her we spoke for a bit, so cool, if she doesn't want to talk longer I 'm ok with that.

How to deal with this situation of when you and she can't really "retreat"?

After we spoke like in 5 mins, somebody called her, she rose and started walking on the beach for like 30 min, always talking, then I noticed she hung up and then kept talking without returning to the towel. Was she avoiding me that way?.. I don't really care, but this seems a bit extreme to me. Was the silence too heavy for her or something?
I left my number on a piece of paper on her towel and left, because.. why not right? :) Plus I wouldn't keep waiting for her to come back..

Since I have this stupid fear of talking to women my main goal was to talk to her. I am sick and tiered of coming back home thinking "I should have spoke to her" so now I am essentially facing my fear and it felt really good that I didn't chicken out and actually had a decent conversation with her.

Opinions on this?

Well there is a GC article on Beach Pickup.

But what applies in every conversation scenario is that you have to build towards some action. Take her for a walk down the water's edge, a swim, a drink at the Tiki bar, back to your room. I'm sure you would prefer that to just sitting in the sun right?

Before the conversation falters, have that plan. In the middle of a story when she is hooked...., interject with:

"Let's go look at that beached boat over there"
"I hear there is a nude beach on the other side of those cliffs."
"I need to cool off in the surf"
"I need one of those umbrella drinks, you buy and I'll tell you the rest"
"Oh damn, I left my Sunscreen in my room" (best case scenario, she goes with you, also acceptable, offers you hers, and you ask her to apply it.)
