You sound young by the post. I think you should just relax, and remember silence isn't always bad. When you are with your friends is it awkward or bad when you get silent, no you dont care why is their social pressure in one instance and another.
Just appreciate the silence and then point something out or be spontaneous and be like this place is boring lets get out of here and have a more meaningful and emotional experience. Go on a walk ask her personal questions that lead somewhere and are not boring like so what u do today and shit like that.
I am 20 sorry for not mentioning this earlier. It isn't really awkward once I fall silent, but depending on how long I am silent, they will start asking me what's wrong or what's in my head. I do at appreciate the silence, but sometimes when we are both silent, I feel like I am boring her or turning her off in a way. I will try to keep the conversation going. It's hard to tell if she has any interest in me though.
