I find it hard to relate to him sometimes.
awkward, friend (topic), relate, sports Your boyfriend tells you a story about an awkward situation he had today at work. He was coming out of the elevator and said "goodbye" to a coworker, but then realized that they were both walking in the same direction. He didn't know what to do. You understand how he felt, because you've had situations like this before as well. You say:
I hate when that happens!
You were coming out of the elevator and said "goodbye" to one of your coworkers. But then you both started walking in the same direction. It's strange to say "goodbye" before you actually leave someone, so it makes you uncomfortable. You want to make a joke about it to make yourselves more comfortable. You say:
How awkward!
