Dating Advice?

This guy asked me out and I am excited for our date, but I'm worried that there might be some awkward silences. How can I avoid an awkward silence? Thank ya!Dating Advice?
Instead of worrying about the awkward silences, do this: Let them happen. Sometimes it's in those spaces that romance blossoms. Okay that sounds corny but it's true, has to be. But really if you're that worried just try to think of some topics beforehand that you can bring up if there is a lull in conversation. Me personally though, I can't stand talking non-stop and most guys won't like being with a girl who talks non-stop. Let him help you fill in those silences and don't feel you have to be the one to keep conversation flowing. Be natural. Relax.Dating Advice?
Personally, I never find silences awkward. But, I find that if the other person is feeling bored or awkward, I ask them a personal question, which also helps them open up. Usually not about them, but more of a situation, or someone around us. If we were out at a baseball game, I would say 'I can't believe that guy is wearing a football jersey, it IS a baseball game. I could see him wearing another team, but not another sport...what do you think?'; Or something more direct, such as 'Would you ever wear a football jersey to a baseball game?';





And if those don't feel good for you, work usually is a good topic. Either they like it, and they get talkative, or they don't like it, and they change the subject to something THEY want to talk about.





Hope I helped.
A lot of the time it's assumed that the guy has to keep the conversation going, but if you want to avoid akward silence tell some stories about yourself, overall just keep talking if he won't. Don't worry, you won't sound egotistical or anything, guys like it when a girl can have a conversation going. And once you're both into it it'll be easy to just enjoy each other.
I wouldn't worry about it really. Just have a good time! You could always have few questions to ask, and memorize those, but trust me, once the conversation starts flowing, it's a good sign of a great date! However.... if it's all silence, it's probably just not a good sign he's into you.





Just relax, and be thankful your going out on a date!
I would just keep asking a whole lot of ?'s about himself and hopefully if hes interested will do the same back honestly don't stress to much I notice the more you stress and worry about it the awkwarder it will be but if you just be yourself and act calm you will notice he will feel same way hopefully making your date a success
if you and your date are meant to become more than just friends, than there should not be any awkward silences, correct? people just click when things are meant to be. if it is awkward and uncomfortble, i would not reccomend a second date, and with that said, not a relationship.
There are going to be awkward silences weather you like it or not. They just cannot be prevented.





But when there is an awkward silence... just start another topic or say a little comment... like this place is soo nice or this food looks amazing, can I have a bite of yours?





Or excuse yourself... :)
well what i did was to ask him about himself things he done as child.


whats his favourite colour ,music he listens to, what he does for fun, try to keep it flowing you know like that i even told mt date i was nervous he just laughed say him too


good luck on your date have fun!
if you dont like aquward silence just when it comes to that bring up something you both like or something thats going on or scenery then that should help!
there will always be ackward silences, its apart of life. but whatever you do. do not say, ';ackwarddd'; when theres a silence to break the ackwardness, because you will make him think you think hes ackward. jus start a new conversation.
To avoid awkward silence moments, spark a very goooood conversation, one that's controversial , one that both of you share in common, you'll be talking all night ! good luck!
just start asking questions but dont seem urgent and desperate. just say something like uh what do you think about britney spears and how she has gone from being the perfect role model to crazy chick? it always gets a kick out of everyone to talk about britney spears lol
Compliments is the way to break the ice. Tell him he looks good today, or after hugging him tell him he smells good. Let him know you like him, and make him feel good about himself. As a bonus, you'll get compliments back.
well just be your self and ask a question, comment on the food, go to the bathroom if there is silence and come back and talk about like a weird person you saw in the bathroom or anything... i dont.
realize that the awkwardness is inside you. learn to breathe in those moments. wait for the other person to say something. just be comfortable in silence
continue a conversation. talk about something interesting that you guys can both relate to, and something you can BOTH talk about.

Keep him talking! Haha.


Just try to bring up a lot of stuff that you know about, so that if there is one you can throw in a fact or two.


Good luck!
give explanations to his questions, not just yes or no answers. and always ask him open-ended questions. if there is a silence, ask him something about himself! everyone loves to talk about themself...lol.





good luck!
Just go with the flow. WHen you find a topic that you are both interested in just go with that. Im sure that will keep the conversation opening up to new topice. GOOD LUCK!!
ok to avoid awkward silence just keeping of things to ask him like his favorite bands,shows,movies, tht should be a great date
I found a website that has dating tips. It might help you.
stare deep in his eyes and it gets him mezmorized, if that doesn't work bring up any random question he probably feels the same way you do just don't worry =)
Don't stop the conversation. If you feel that there will be an akward silence ask him a qestion.
Ask him about himself or something he was just talking about. Now, if he doesn't ask you many questions it's a bad sign, trust me.
Everytime he asks u a question make it more interting
Well, you could always think of things to say ahead of time.....so if there ever is a awkward silence..you could just bring something up...good luck: ]] hope i helped
Smile or laugh or ask him a question! OOH or compliment him:]]
Tell him stories
If ur really clicking with this guy, the conversation should just flow.
