And as for the question "What do you want to talk about?" I love it because I always think I have very interesting topics to talk about. I think after around 7 years of dating a lot I have it to the point where it's very difficult for me to be put into an awkward silence.
The very VERY worst thing people say that creates an awkard silence and is a self fulfilling prophesy and I seem to notice women doing it more than men is something along the lines of "Wow this is awkward." Or just mentioning the fact there's been a bit of silence.
I was sat with a girl I was seeing and her friend watching TV once and her friend said "Wow this is an awkward." Personally I was thinking it wasn't awkward until you just said that and made it awkward.
Maybe I'm looking too deeply into it but when a girl says something like that "Wow this is awkard." It's kind of like saying I'm here to entertain her and come up with the conversation, she isn't going to lower herself to putting effort into the conversation she's just going to state the observation that the conversation has stopped and there's silence that she finds awkward.
I understand that kind of is generally the situation, it is traditionally the man that has to impress the girl and chat up the girl but I think it's a pretty good personality trait in general for men and women to have to be able to think up a random conversation to some degree and not to always rely on the other person.
Anyway the bottom line is, in an awkaward silence it's way WAYYY better to be asked what I want to talk about than just to be told that there has been an awkward silence in my opinion.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
