She Went On A Date With A Guy Who Had Nothing To Talk About So They Sat In Silence For 10 Whole Minutes
Have you ever felt like you were carrying the entire conversation on a date that you have been on?
TikTok creator Zoey Sinn (@zoeyxsinn) shares one of her date stories, where she just felt bored for most of the night.
Zoey was on Bumble after a breakup, just having some fun talking to people. She talked to the one guy for a bit, but after moving sort of forgot about the app and ghosted him in the process.
This guy ends up DMing her on Instagram, telling her that she ghosted him on Bumble, and they start to talk to each other again.
They discussed planning to see each other, and he suggests that they go out Friday. She replies, telling him that Friday is not going to work for her, and suggests the following Wednesday instead.
Throughout the next week leading up to the day of the date, they are not really texting very much, and Zoey realizes that the guy is barely talking to her. At this point, she’s feeling pretty confused.
She wonders if she’s being ghosted and if he is just not wanting to go on a date anymore. Zoey ends up texting her guy friend for advice, asking, “Why is this guy wanting to go on a date with me if we haven’t talked for a week? Like I don’t understand.”
On Tuesday, the guy asks if their date is still on for the following day. Still confused, Zoey replied hesitantly that they were. The morning of the date, the guy sends Zoey the details of their plans for the day.
She checks out the link to the R&B event that he wants to take her to, and she starts to get more excited about the day ahead. She starts to think, “Maybe this date won’t be so bad. Maybe he just [is bad] at texting.”

They end up walking to the event, but when they arrive, they realize that the event does not start for another hour. So Zoey starts to strike up some conversation with her date.
She quickly realizes, however, that the conversation is mostly revolving around her.
She is trying her best to ask him questions and get him more involved in the conversation, but she just finds him to be pretty short, dull, and boring with his answers.
“It’s not like he’s not interested like I can tell he’s interested. He just has nothing to talk about,” explains Zoey.
The event begins, good music starts to play, and good drinks are being had. Zoey still finds herself talking about herself despite the numerous questions that she’s asking her date.
She starts to feel like she’s pulling teeth trying to get him to talk more.
She decides to do a little experiment on her date and see if he will start up a conversation on his own if she stays quiet for 10 minutes. She figures he has to, right?
“He doesn’t, and I sit there in silence for 10 minutes because I am sick of carrying this conversation, and my throat kind of hurts right now”, Zoey says.
At this point, they decide to go dancing, and although Zoey thought he was a great dancer, she still felt bored with him overall. At the end of the night, he walks her back home and attempts to kiss her, but Zoey does not want to.
After the date ends, Zoey is certain that she wants to ghost this guy, but she wants to go about it in a mature and respectful way. He messaged her to say that he had a great time with her that night and wanted to plan to meet up again soon.
Zoey replied, explaining that she did not think they were a good match. His response to that left her stunned.
“Aw, not even for like a quick hook-up?” he says.
Obviously, Zoey declined that request, feeling uncomfortable with the idea since she didn’t know anything about him even after their date. What would you have done on a date like this one?
