I know the general consensus is that dinner date aren't the best types of dates, but this is what the girl I'm interested in suggested so I'm going along with it. We're going to a pizza place. Also, I'm not sure if the girl is actually interested in me or if this is a "just friends" thing because I met this girl through mutual friends. Me and some of my guy friends think she's into me and sees this as a date but some of my other friends don't think this is a real date. It could honestly go either way and I won't be sure until I get to read her body language during the date.

My #1 fear is that I'll run out of things to say so do any of you guys have any tips or resources that I can look at that will help make sure conversation is flowing naturally and that there aren't any awkward silences?

If you have any other advice on making sure the date runs smoothly or to make it more exciting, I'll appreciate that too!
