I think that the best policy is to be honest.
If you really like the guy and are just being over shy, then it's worth trying; even telling him that you just feel terribly shy, although you really enjoy his company.
and if you don't, honestly, it's also worth putting a stop to it as nicely as possible.
I don't think it's necessary to lie, or be insensitive.
but there is no point in telling someone that you'll keep in touch when you don't intend to.
I appreciate that it's hard to say, that it doesn't work for you. But honestly, it gets easier afterwards and you feel much better and it saves lots of heartaches.x

If you arent sure of what to say then go to the movies where you dont have to talk. Then after the movies that should give you something to talk about. Ask him about his family and friends. Ask him If he plays any sport even ask him a few questions about sports(goggle). Men like women that know a little about sports. I guess I am a talker and I never had a problem with the awkward silent moment. Then again that might be a good time to get a kiss.

Sometimes on a date, people feel as though they have to constantly talk. If this is the case, and you always find yourself in an "awkward"position of not knowing what to say, find something the two of you are both interested in (like watching a movie, sporting event, play ~~ something that captures your attention without talking). For casual conversation, talk about things you are both interested in!

it is difficult, but just keep talking about naything, but don't talk forever because you are nervous otherwise he wont get a word in and it may end up being boring. i am worried about this as well. even if you are nervous dont act like it i.e. by playing with your hands, or you could hide your handds under the table. excuse yourself and go to the bathroom and relax yourself and come back smiling. you can talk about both of your hobbies, movies, weather is nice..., stimulating conversations like what's on the news but don't talk about things that are controversial sometimes topics in the news can be and it can destimulate the date. you can talk about embarrassing moments and both of you can then laugh and relax and shake the nervousness. laughing is good, it shows interests and lets nervousness out. Goodluck!

Yes, ask him questions about himself, as others have said, but - and this is the crucial bit - listen to the answers ! I know it sounds basic, but if you keep firing questions at him, he'll get nervous too.
Girls are better at listening than boys. But when boys learn this trick, they can have any girl they want. You know you sometimes see an ugly little bloke, and he can charm the girls so sweet and how does he do it ? He listens to them. Expresses an interest. Doesn't talk about himself all the time.
Just be interested in your date, in where you are, in the food if you're eating, in what's happening, and you'll be fine.

At first you can ask some questions, that show you're interested. If your date isn't interesting, doesn't ask anything himself or doesn't seem to be able to uphold a conversation just thank him or her for the evening and say goodbye. Do not feel obliged to entertain your date constantly! Just deliver your half of the effort and just see what comes back!

First, don't worry about it becoming awkward. When you worry, that's when it does. Secondly, take it naturally. If you can't relax around this person, then you don't need to be around them. You might surprise yourself if you just relax. Remember to breathe and remember that you are there to get to know someone. SO...ask away. Ask them questions about themselves, tell stories of your own, but RELAX. It isn't as bad as you think it will be. HAVE FUN!!!

Talk about the dinner you 2 are eating then bring up the subject of customer service. Talk about where & when you had good service as well as when you didn't. It doesn't even have to be in a restaurant where you experienced good customer service. Everyone can relate to getting good service compared to bad service.

depending on how long this awkwardness continues for Id prob go to the ladies and text a friend to ring me and bail me out - you can only ask so many questions about a persons job/family/the weather etc!!!!

all you have to do is be your self theres no need to panic just talk about things that you would talk to your mates about or whats happened to you recently or ask that person questions! when you finally get talking, just begin to think about something else to talk about! the best thing to do is talk about something you both have in common! just remember to act your self!
