Awkwardness of Silence

when you don't see some one for a while and then you finally meet with them and go out to dinner s you could be in touch and then u'r just sitting at the dinner table wondering how to start a convesation with that person espicially wen u had a big fight when the last time you saw him or her. then you just say something and then it still becomes awkward or when you go on a date with some one you like soo much and you are just nervous don't know wat to say to u'r date. every time i go across those momments i feel so awkward and then if i am at home wit some one alone don't know wat to say i jus turn on the tv and go cook something so both of can eat.
