Happened twice recently, on first dates, maybe 1 to 2 hours into the date.

The only conversation occurred when I asked her questions and expanded on her answers (asked about stuff on her profile, our previous online conversations, the venue, FORD framework)

As we walk from point to point or sit my online date just doesn't ask questions. So if I didn't ask her anything it'll just be silence.

It is weird, awkward walking or sitting with someone you've met for the first time after around 30 seconds. Both times I just gave up and we ended up in silence for like 10 mins (I've been trying to connect and ask questions for maybe most of the date already at that point).

I'm just wondering, is she just completely uninterested? Or is she on the fence or shy? Or am I boring? Also makes me think if I look much worse than my profile.

What am I supposed to do? Make a comment about the place? Tell a story?

Honestly hard to remain interested or maintain any sort of conversation feeding off this sort of energy from her.
