when it really comes down to it and your with a girl say.... at the mall (thats where im gonna be lol) how often do you actually run out of things to say and when you do, what do you do to bring the conversation back. right now the only things i can thing to do at that moment in time are marry,kill, fuck game, maybe some palm reading or swindle some free food using the 5 lies. i'm wondering because im going on my first real date this week. im 16 and i worked up the balls to ask some girl out that i havent really been talkin to much lately but recently started talkin to her on msn again.

Dude I like the way you think. Plan ahead.

if you're really worried about it, make a list of stuff to talk about. Keep it in your pocket, if things really go to melt-down, excuse yourself to the bathroom and check your list. You can have some jokes or interesting stories on the list.

In a pinch go with TV shows or music.

But plan on letting her talk. That's how dates go. Get into her brain and find out what she likes talking about and keep her at it. Let her talk and while she's talking, you're thinking of the next place the conversation will go to. That way you're always ready.

ANyways, your challenge will be at some point to make some interesting boy/girl talk. This will break you out from just being a chat buddy. Simple stuff, like "have you ever kissed anybody".
