When you go on a date are you supposed to be talking near constantly?

HELLO YES I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW TOO

She's supposed to do most of the talking. When she's too quiet you gotta get her talking, but you're not supposed to be speaking most of the time.

It's kinda like playing with a kid. You're not supposed to do most of the playing, just give him company so he doesn't have to play alone.

It all depends on the mood and the setting. Sometimes saying nothing can be just as effective as saying something.

If there is silence, it means you have ran out of topics to discuss.

If that happens oddly early (for example, first dates) then it means that one of you don't click with the other. Or could be shy, but if there's a click, then the shiness will decrease.


So yes, it's really odd if you walk in silence with people, and that doesn't only apply to dates.

I would say it depends on how close you are with the other person. If you're not friends with that person yet and you're just getting to know each other silence is not a good idea because it won't let anything happen between you two to be able to actually get to know each other. If you already know that person and have a plan for the date, the silence is not that bad, considering both are interested in the situation and enjoy each other's company.

Early on I think that would be weird just because the purpose of early dates is to learn about each other, so you should really be trying to exchange as much information as possible to find out if it's worth pursuing further. Later on that's not so bad. I mean, when you get really late into relationships, like 30 years married late, there doesn't seem to be too much talking at all.

Depends on if it's an awkward silence or a comfy silence.

Rushing to fill any void (lol) isn't a good thing, she might want to contribute to the interaction but you aren't leaving any space for her to do so. Rushing to fill any silence will also indicate fear, and need for approval.

Letting silence and tension arise can be good, it allows her to contribute and invest in the interaction. Also cultivating sexual tension is a good idea.

Sometimes you just won't get along with a girl and can't build up rapport, that's okay too. If its awkward and its clear that neither of you are feeling it then just end it early instead of dragging it out. I've done this in the past with online dates.
