Here's the thing, sometimes we don't feel like talking, or forcing a conversation, we're too tired, spent an entire day in meetings, or negotiating with a very stubborn four year old. That doesn't mean that we don't want to have a great time together. Sometimes it helps to make the centre of the date about an activity, making the conversation tends to follow a lot more naturally.
