A guy at a diner in Toledo told me his worst date was silent for 40 minutes, and it got me thinking about how dating has changed
He said they just sat there picking at fries because nobody wanted to be the one to talk first, and I realized we used to have to actually work through that awkward quiet instead of just pulling out a phone. Do you think the quiet parts are harder or easier for people now?

For a long time I figured phones made the awkward quiet easier to handle since you always have an escape hatch. Now I'm not so sure, because sitting through that silence with someone forces you to find out if there's actually anything there. The phone just lets you hide from the answer.
