Talk about her. Her interests, her life. If the conversation gets off her push it back.

That shouldn't be a problem if you're comfortable around each other. Even if not, the conversation can still flow. You will be fine - just act yourself.
Italian food is great, by the way. Good choice!

Kool-Aid! So, water you waiting for? Go lie down before you see what you ate today..... again. I'll Sierra to it that you get better! Make sure you don't need to get a Chek-up, okay? While you're out, you should go get a Minute Maid

I would be terrified, too! It's a first date, who knows what can happen. I hope it goes well for you.

Awesome!
I sometimes prepare lists of questions if I'm afraid I'm going to seize up.

Finally stopped procrastinating and got out to do some grocery shopping.
I see an increasing number of men, not only doing the shopping, but doing the shopping with their children.
I quite like doing the shopping because it's something I can do that makes me feel normal.

I screwed up the screen protector for my phone.

Re: ridiculous and silly
Oh man, when I was in primary school, I was teased relentlessly. And the defence I learned was to pre-empt them, to put myself down before they could, so that they... yeah, couldn't be as hurtful because I'd already outdone them. And this worked.
Unfortunately, I internalized the negativity, and effectively ended up teasing myself. A very hard habit to break.

Re: I disappoint everybody, even myself
I associated being smart with being unpopular.
After I (inexplicably) became popular at university, the shame subsided, and I was able to take pleasure in having people think I was smart.
Of course, that's gone now too.

:I have two friends who are really smart, but were so miserable as teenagers that they failed their school exams because they were too drunk/stoned.
Which gave them yet another thing to feel bad about.

Grades always came far too easy for me; but I had no idea what I was doing and have never claimed to be smart...
actually- I believe I'm quite stupid on all levels.
I know very little about anything.
haha
School was just one of the few games I've not been a complete failure at in my life-- but even the best player will lose if they don't have the money to pay for tuition.

In conversations, I can never be sure how what I'm about to say will go over, whether it will resonate or be embarrassingly far off the mark.
Here, I can throw stuff up onto the boards, and no one is under any pressure to respond to it. If it strikes home for somebody great! if not, no harm done.
Similarly, I can go grazing around and leave replies as they occur to me. I'm not caught in the headlights of expectation the way I would be one on one.
Ideas fall together naturally rather than being forced.
People too.

Re: spatial
I worry about that too, but if I feel comfortable with people I can chat pretty well (although that is rare too). I actually think I have even more anxiety posting on the boards. Every time I see my name on the main page I cringe.. when I see that I was the last who posted in the thread, I fear that I was the one who killed it.
Thats why I like the popular threads because someone else will always post something after me.

Re: ridiculous and silly
You know I have no experience with women, but try to be natural, relaxed (relaxed with SA? o.0 well, try it!) and just do what you feel, show her your interest, let her talk, and listen
*starts Dutch classes*
Anyway now I need to buy a new screen, for some reason mine broke after I bro-fisted it :/
Good luck Pips!And now I think I might have a date this weekend

Hmmm

While that would work, it's so paradoxical that it just makes things worse. Sorry to hear you had to resort to that, Aletheia. :
:That's about me, except I was so depressed I just didn't care anymore. I can feel for your friends.:
