Most people often struggle with awkward silences on dates.

It's these silent moments that should give you a clue that you are yet to connect with your partner and open their heart.

Here are best ways to avoid such awkward silences that often work.

1. Ask open-ended questions and introduce new topics.

There will be moments when monosyllabic replies stem on a date and it gets uncomfortable.

And if you don't have a couple of thoughtful questions rehearsed in your mind, the conversation will stall.

Compile a list of questions to ask beforehand and later learn to listen to their responses and comment to their answers.

You can as well come up with pre-planned possible topics to talk about.

You can talk about best topics like family, aspirations, careers and even latest news.

Avoid more opinionated topics such as Religion, politics and talking about your exes.

Such a good deep conversation will make you at ease with your date and it will be easy to pull out your phone for occasional updates.

2. Do some activity with your date.

If they don't have rhyming social skills like you, then engage them in some sort of activity.

Before the date,do your homework and find out the upcoming events, the latest cinema in town and even take them to a film theatre.

You can also have a nature work around your area of residence.

Avoid watching movies because they are not a good way to know someone while in the house.

Watching movies limits and eats deep into the interaction time of knowing one another.

But if despite doing all these and the silent moments often pop up,then it means you don't have anything in common for a relationship to work.
