Let’s bring real life example – your date is going great, and you're really into this girl. Your thoughts are premature, but you think this might turn out to be a rewarding relationship. She seems to be having fun, too.

Then there's a lull in the conversation. You panic, crack a bad joke, and it gets worse. The silence between you two is horrible, and suddenly, it's not a fun anymore… it's miserable, and she's bored.

Do you think she is going to remember all good things that happened during the date? NO!  She's going to remember the silence. The awkward, miserable, deal breaking silence that encompassed your date.
How can you avoid this mishap?
1. Check the News Before You Leave
When you feel a lull in your conversation nearing, break the silence with commenting on something you heard, but keep it light – like the human interest story on the cute puppy pulled out of the well/ anything this way. A topic like the war in Middle East is not that great.\
2.The power of active listening

 If you learn to pay attention to your date, you'll find that you both make better conversation with each other, try to enjoy simply listening what she says.Women love to be listened to, and besides, you'll learn a lot more about your date!

3.Take Note of Your Surroundings
Take notice of what's around you, and what's going on. Pay attention to the people, the atmosphere, even the tables, and make comments on what's going on.
If it's something serious, like 'Didn't you just love that painting when we first came in?', or something light and easy, like 'Don't you just hate the rain? What's your favorite weather?'.
4.Open Ended Questions are very useful
 Questions that lead to other discussions, like 'Where did you grow up? What was it like there?', 'What do you do for fun?', and even 'What's your dream weekend getaway?', are usually considered best.
