(Via iDateDaily) – One of the most uncomfortable things you can ever experience during a date is awkward silence.

If you’re one of the lucky few to have not been in its presence, allow me to give you a visual: You and your date are seated at the table.

The two of you discuss the restaurant, the menu, and your appetite. After placing your order, it’s time to shift gears and focus on “I’m getting to know you” conversation, except you don’t know where to start or how to start.

And judging off of your date’s feeble smile, they don’t know where or how to start either. Before you know it, you’re shuffling through your phone and scrambling bits and pieces of your thoughts to spark conversation and to avoid running out of the restaurant.

You have just been hit by awkward silence.
