Problem 1: Saying Exactly What You're Thinking

Problem: You say exactly what you're thinking. Yeah, everyone's done it. You find yourself rambling on about how much you can't stand the outfit Paris Hilton's wearing tonight, only to discover that you're chatting up with the designer. ...Can you say 'awkward'?

Solution: Don't take yourself or the situation so seriously. Try making a lighthearted joke or soften the blow by saying something along the line of "What do I know about fashion?"If you stuck your foot in your mouth by saying something controversial or brought up a nonparty subject like religion or politics make a comment about how you should know better than to bring up such a controversial subject! "My mother taught me better than this!" and then change the subject. Quickly.Don't backtrack because you'll just come across as insincere. 

Problem 2: Gossip Girl

Problem: Gossip gets you in trouble. You've just met the man of your dreams and while you're gabbing gloriously you decide to tell him the hilarious story you heart recently about a high-profiled CEO whos been cheating on his wife with his nanny. So Jude Law right? Turns out the CEO is Mr. Rights father.

Solution: Explaining yourself will only make the situation worse. The best thing to do is sincerely apologize and mean it. Then make note of this situation for future reference and leave the gossipy tales for your bestest friend.

Problem 3: Baby Bump?

Problem: Congratulations! You squeal upon noticing Lauren's particularly plump tummy. But instead of hearing all the details of the sonogram and baby's room, you see Lauren's face turn bright red as she announces she's not preggers.

Solution: Ouch. Grovel, grovel, and then grovel some more. Mistaking plumpness for pregnancy is one of the most uncomfortable moments.
