Thanks Sandy. My problem isn't worrying about getting the conversation going. I'm very outgoing and I'm so damn chatty; I never shut up. LOL. The guy I'm going out with is very shy and quiet. I really like him. I'm just worried about making sure I don't scare the crap out of him or get on his nerves. We have spent quite a bit of time together already -- worked together briefly, socialized as part of a group, and he used to drive me home from work, so he knows how talkative I am... and he agreed to go out with me anyway, so I guess that's a positive sign.

P.S. One of my biggest worries about the date is something that sounds very silly. I have overcome a lot of phobias in the past two years, but I still have a huge phobia of escalators going down... and we're going to the Park Lane cinema. You know how you have to go down that escalator to get to the cinemas? Well, that's scaring me... I'm wondering if he's going to think I'm nuts if I tell him I don't want to take the escalator and insist on using the elevator instead.
