MYBAT- I disagree with you. A date is not supposed to have comfortable silence. That would mean that the boy and girl are becoming a bit too comfortable with each others. At this stage (while dating), they shouldn’t become so comfortable with each others that silence should feel normal. I just don’t think it’s right.
Another thing, what do you say to discussing the silence? Like, I hope you don’t mind the silence but its ok with me if me don’t speak every second…I think that would make both of them feel comfortable with the silence.
