Meaningful silences

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

There's some folks should stay silent, whether meaningful or not. :twisted:
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Mrs Dub and I are very small on the small talk. We can spend hours without a word, if there's nothing to say. We both like it that way. Your mileage will vary.

True peace is reading together. The happy silence of an engrossing book. :)

Of course the modern day equivalent of that is both sitting on the same sofa, separate laptops, separate retro games (her = puzzle bobble, me = worms armageddon) and not a word exchanged, apart from expletives.

Wouldn't catch me and the Mrs doing that, oh no, not us....eh dear? :innocent: :lol: :oops:

After reading The Planet's posting, I think a meaningful silence is in order :cry: :|

Sounds like how it was (and still is) between my ex-bf (i.e., my best pal on the planet) and me. No forced or pointless chatter, because the mutual quiet wasn't "threatening" or awkward.

I need to find another guy who enjoys the silence... :von:

Ok thanks, mostly sounds like comfortable silences, even your example weebs...which are great but not as much fun or discomfort as the tense unspeakableness of something not being said, never mind the circumstance has passed.

@James - is that how to interpret a meaningful silence or do you need to be blunter about some matter :P

best example PiB, again maybe it's a comfotable silence, in itself a meaningful understanding
