My biggest fear is dead silence. Though I am a good listener, I am horrible at starting a good conversation and keeping it going. Any ideas? I don't think I want to ask the cliche questions like "where are you from?"
You're not listening, Padawan. Be yourself, relax, and enjoy it.
If you stress out about dead silence, about what you should say to her, about how to impress her, about when to ask for her phone number, about whether you should get her phone number at all, about whether you should pay, about whether you should ask her out again... you're going to totally miss out on the experience of your first date. You're going to worry yourself out of a second date if you don't relax and simply enjoy going out with her.
Look, it's easy. Do you like her? Obviously. So, what do you want to know about her? Ask her questions every now and then. Allow her to ask you questions as well. But don't stress out, constantly saying to yourself, "Am I asking too many questions? Am I asking enough questions? Maybe I should speak? Maybe she should speak? Maybe this, maybe that, maybemaybemaybewhatifIdon'tdothingsrightand..."
Hey. Viper. She's talkin' to you, and you're missin' it, cause you're in your own world of worry.
Be yourself...
relax...
and enjoy it.
