I went on a date last week and it was a little awkward at times, a few silences, I was trying my best to think of things to say but everything I did say didn't last very long :/ I really like the guy and I think he likes me, that's what I hear and he asked me out again for next week, this means it will just be me and him again and I'm really worried I will be shy again and he won't want to see me again after. I do really like him and he would be my first ever boyfriend so can you please give me some advice and some conversation starters or something please. I really want to be able to keep a conversation going please help me :) xxx

 Ok.
On dating, in starting, it is natural to be shy. So, sharing is less. U can talk about climate, favourite hollywood movies n actors n actress, even daily work n hobbies, etc subjects to talk. Be confident when u talk with him.

 It's impossible to fill an entire date with conversation... not feeling the need to talk all the time shows that you are a confident person.
As for conversation starters, think: Movies, TV shows, recent news, hobbies.
Also, show that you are interested by bringing up something he's talked about before and following up on it. For example, say he mentioned his little sister or whatever was sick or something, ask how she's doing. It shows you care!
Lastly, it's okay that you're shy. Really. What's important is that you laugh, and smile, because it shows you've got a great spirit. To be shy and frown all the time, on the other hand, is not a good combo.
