    How long should I wait before calling after an awkward first date?
    Me and my friend met these two really nice girls at the pool that ended up giving us their numbers without us asking. We went on a double date with them to the movies a week later. It went well except for the fact that there were these awkward silence moments. This has never happened to me where I just didn't know what to talk about. My date was the one starting most of the conversations and I felt kind of weird not being able to think of anything. I feel as if I seemed to her as the quiet, boring type, but I'm really a lot more fun and talkative. That same day before the date I woke up really early to help my friend move.So afterwards, I was pretty tired. When should I call her, and if I should call her, should I appaulogize for being kind of boring. I don't know if she still likes me. We talked a lot on the phone before the date and things were fine. What should I do? I haven't felt this way about a girl in a long time and I really like her. Would it be weird for me to call and appaulogize?

    I wouldn't apologize for being boring I would just call her and ask her out on another date and let her see the real you. If she says no, oh well its her loss and the next time you will kow to be yourself on a date and not be so nervous. Good luck, don't stress :)

    I think the girl would understand. It was your first date with her. Call her and ask her out again. No need to apologize.
    And try going by yourself; that way both of you have time to be yourselves.
    Good Luck :)

    Call her today. Ask her out for a date, just the two of you, so you can get to know each other one on one. :)

    I would say about a week-ish depending on how close you guys got. Call now maybe... and don't worry about what went wrong on the first date, just look forward to the second one.:)

    I would agree with GLINDAOFOZ 100% and I would disagree with CANADA SWEETY.< I would not wait a week-ish girls are very worrysome towards things like this if you don't call her soon then she will think you are ignoring her or maybe you weren't interested and she may start second guessing weather there COULD be anything there. Call her ASAP. Another thing is you don't know if you seemed like the quiet shy type and if you did maybe she likes that type of guy.. Just don't stick your foot in your mouth by saying sorry when you are only assuming that she feels that way

    Well, I said a week-ish because if I went on an awkward date and I wanted a guy to call, I would need a few days to see if I would wanna go through taht again or if we actually clicked. But that's just me.... becuse I over analyze everything:p

    It might have seemed like awkward silence to you, but she probably didn't even notice. Don't read too much into it. If you like her, call her again and go out!
