when you are having a conversation with someone, sundelly the awkward silence strikes.
what kind of things do you do in order to repel that awkward silence, and keep the conversation from dying?

Depends on who you're talking to.

Lol, that happens to me quite a few times, but you have to be quick, if the convo isn't worth continuing then drop it, it is then say something, it doesn't necessarily have to be related to the previous subject

Ask a lot of questions, and don't be afraid to talk about anything as long as it's appropriate, if the person you're conversing with can't keep up with the convo, then they're just boring.

But then again this is coming from a socially awkward person, so take it with a grain of pepper.

If it is a girl then I usually start fighting(silly fight) over silly things and somehow pull a new topic out of that fight.

If it is a boy then I'll start talking about studies then they'll automatically come up with a new topic as they don't want to discuss about studies.

Just keep answering with questions~

Her: "Yep."
You: "So how was your weekenend?"
Her: Good."
You: "DO anything fun?"
Her: "Ski."
You: "Oh haha that reminds me a time when I was sking and (blah blah blah)"
Her: "Omg lol. so funnnyyy"
You: Yeah. So do you do any other things but ski"

JUST KEEP THE QUESTIONS FLOWING NATURALLY.
And maybe throw in a little flirtation here and there. :3

Always try keeping a relevant topic to him/her up, and don't get to personal with the topics.

Not be boring...you. are. welcome.

Seriously though, if it's a girl you're talking about, ask her about her...just keep saying uhuh and go on...she will go on, like forever. She might even continue the conversation the next time you see her...if you do end up going out with her, don't think that's the end of it, nah bro, you wanna keep her, that's the story you gotta listen to and find interesting the rest of your life. You ever faked interest in the same conversation for years? It's fu***ng tough dude.

Anyway, you can always comment on the fact that silence is inevitable...and then be like " there it is..."

This.

And think about whatever you've been talking about, and join it onto related topics.

It keeps the conversation fresh.

Treat them the same as a friend. By treating a romantic interest as an equal and as a real friend, you'll avoid being fake and getting into something you can't maintain. Talk about something you like and ask her about things she likes. But mostly ask about her ;)
