First dates awkward ?

Sarah

Is it normal to feel really awkward when dating people for the first time? I feel like there are so many awkward moments of silence and I can’t think of anything to say. Idk if it because my nervous or we just don’t have anything in common. Like we will have one thing to talk about but then won’t know what else to talk about. Is this normal or are these signs that it’s not going to work with someone?
