    Its the guy's fault. Most girls are shy and its the guys job to take charge and start conversations to make the girl feel comfortable in the beginning and bring the relationship forward. Your guy is probably insecure and is afraid to say the wrong thing and be judged and so prefers not to say anything. If you really like him, and you want to take charge of the relationship, make him talk, ask him questions about himself, compliment him, share your experiences especially embarrassing ones, it will force him to do the same and will bring his defenses down and make you 2 closer. He is afraid of judgment so show him you don't judge him and that you accept him the way he is.

    It's actually quite easy to not be awkward. I went through a phase where I found it sort of hard to talk to really pretty girls but eventually I built more self esteem and realized they are just people. Whenever I am in a awkward situation, I just remember that they are human and it helps to get me to talk to them. Talking is how you break the ice. So all you have to do is have self-confidence, remember they are only human, and talk to them. It works every time. D
