For you guy's, and especially for those that are shy, have you ever had trouble keeping a conversation going on a date?

You are 20 or 30 minute's in and you run out of things to talk about.

Women can get involved in this too. How do you feel about this.

I just want to avoid future problems.

Yeah, that's a tough one. Sometimes talking about music helps for me, since it's a interest of mine and most people have some preferences they enjoy discussing. 🙂

I think that's the whole key, when things seem to be too quiet, bring up your interests. Cause if the conversation has died. Trying harder to be cool or what you think she's Gona like will usually be a big tell. A silent moment can have other options too. Compliments, a wine selection, desert?

@JoanieNewHampshire: When one is shy, it's generally about getting comfortable enough to speak freely. With most of my friends, etc. as well as my late husband it was first a question of breaking the ice (for me). Then we find out whether or not we're compatible. 😅

@bijouxbroussard: I just got quiet....... Nope! Lol, I can understand that, shy did tend to only be the need to find a comfortable place from which to relax and speak freely for me as well
