I hate to just tell you not to worry about it. You will anyway. But it will all go just fine. It may be a little awkward at first but, once you start talking it will go great.
Just talk about school or his car if he drives (guys like to talk about their cars!) Or music, anything to break the ice. Then just enjoy his company and have fun. There are no big rules or secrets to dating, just have fun. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

(1) Be clean. Take a shower before going out and make an effort to look (and smell) good.
(2) Don't overdo it. Whoever you're going out with found you attractive the way you normally are, so there's no need to make a huge deal out of it. If you don't usually wear perfume or a tie, don't do it now.
(3) Don't practice what to say. It will make you sound phony. Just have natural conversation.
(4) Try to relax and enjoy the evening. Dating is about having fun, nothing more. Don't expect it to go perfectly, just enjoy yourself.
(5) Admit that you're a little nervous. There's nothing wrong with that. If your date does find something wrong with that, you'd be better off without a second date.
(6) Don't get drunk or otherwise lose control. You will make a terrible impression, and put yourself at risk besides.
(7) Don't expect a kiss. One does not generally kiss on a first date. Unless you really, really want to. ;)
(8) JUST IN CASE - if your date is doing the driving, make sure you have enough money to get a cab home. Odds are everything will go fine, but there is that small chance that things could go horribly wrong, and you need to be able to take care of yourself if it does.
