If you are having a date with some guy you like, but it looks there's a communication barrier, you want to have some small talk, but the whole thing doesnt flow as it should and there were some uncomfortable silences, and you felt like "cheescakes, what can I say now"...would that make you reconsider the chances of a second date?
Or what about after sex, people are supposed to have small talk after sex, what if he didnt say anything?
If I didn't have good communication with a guy, then I would not go out with him again. Good communication is essential to any relationship.
However, small talk after sex is not a necessity for me. It can be wonderful to simply lay my head on a man's chest while he strokes my hair and we "bask in the afterglow." Or, if we really wear each other out, then it can be nice to just fall asleep together.
Agree with SweetPenny.
If both people are asking questions about each other then there may be mutual interest. Just need to find something both have in common. If not and only onesided, the interest may be onesided as well. Time to move on.
It's never happened to me. I'm very out going and could talk to a post! LOL Example went on a cruise nightly dinner in the dinning room at a table with three other couples. One couple the husband, an older gentleman, never said a word for two nights so I had to crack this clam! Asked him what he did for a living - an exterminator who lives in Florida. Well I'm a horticulturalist who once got a shipment of tropical plants from Florioda for the plant nursery I was working at that were covered with strange white catapillars. Clam cracked we had a long conversation on entomology and he joined in on all the tables conversations for rest of the cruise.

Bunny Rabbits cute and fuzzy they want to love you but they have razor sharp teeth - don't piss them off! If there was a language barrier I wouldn't be with the guy on a date in the first place.
wots the point if no convo , i wouldnt go with them again . but i love lying in hubs arms after sex and talking about wot we liked about our session .
After sex, it usually only happens with new partners who get apologetic about their perceived performance, and then clam up, hoping I'll reassure them that they did great. So I do, then conversation usually flows better.
I find the silence after sex kind of peaceful and enjoyable. But I like silence. I like talking too. If I just had sex, I'm gonna be pretty okay with whatever.
If the conversation is stale then I'll end the date.
Review after sex?
I enjoy the silence after sex.
i am all about the after sex debate. if he's not prepared to take a stance and defend it, i'll withhold the after sex blow job.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
I like a lover who is a cunning linguist.
