You already have a head start. You're not two strangers trying to figure out how to even talk to each other - he's asked you out, he wants to be with you.
Although I know that this probably won't seem helpful, it IS the situation: just give it a little time. You're nervous because this means something to you and if it means something to you, that will come across. And that's a good thing.
I would imagine that girls generally have all this social stuff down, but remember that everybody like to talk about themselves to some degree. Not in a conceited, "it's all about me" kind of way, but just general stuff.
You might ask the guy what he likes to do. Ah, motorcycle enduros, tell me more about that... stuff like that.
I can easily understand your feelings. I got myself all psyched up to drive over to a girls house and ask her out for a date. We had talked a little here and there, but nothing significant.
I must have used half a tank of gas driving toward her house, chickening out, getting psyched up to do it, chickening out again, etc.
Eventually, I drove into her driveway and, thank goodness, SHE answered the door. I asked her out on the date, she said yes, I said great and I turned around and left. (Grin)
That girl and I will celebrate our 35th anniversary this August!
