12 Questions To Break The Awkward Silence On A Date

Let's face it. Awkward silence happens. Especially on a first date or early on in a fledgling relationship. Whether you are really into the person and so nervous that you can't think of anything to say OR if you aren't feeling it at all but you still need to somehow get through another glass of wine or the rest of your meal and want to avoid the deafeningly unpleasant lack of conversation that seems to make minutes feel like hours. However, Awkward silences are not always a sign that the date is going poorly. In fact, they often indicate raw, sexual energy between two people. That's exciting! Allow yourself to feel those electric moments while keeping strong eye contact with the person at the other end of the table. But in case you need a little help keeping the conversation going after you have exhausted all other possible avenues, we teamed up with dating blog The Single Society to give you 12 ideas of questions you can ask your date when you are experiencing a moment of awkward silence. Do you have a good/funny/interesting/thought-provoking question you like to ask on dates? Share the wealth right here. Thanks!
