Okay, so I met this cute girl about a week ago, got acquainted, found each other attractive, and became buddies on Facebook. So far so good.
Here's where the problem kicks in. We suck at conversations. I'm pretty sure some of you know that I can't even hold one unless it's one that's relevant to my interests. Anyway, the attraction is there, the interest in getting to know each other is very apparent but we just don't have much of a clue as to where to start.
Don't know how much it helps, but when I first met my husband we went out once, we talked a little, but we never went out again. Then one day he sent me a text message asking my opinion on wallabies which was weird enough that it sparked a whole conversation. Now several years later he's still here :)
Point being, don't be afraid to be weird or quirky.
Quotes
You shoulda gone to China. You know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
... And then the Prince Knelt Down and tried to put the Glass Slipper on Cinderella's Foot by Judith Viorst
I really didn't notice that he had a funny nose.
And he certainly looked better dressed up in fancy clothes.
He's not nearly as attractive as he seemed the other night.
So I think I'll just pretend that this glass slipper feels too tight.
The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

"you can always tell what kind a person a man thinks you are by the earrings he gives you" --- Audrey Hepburn
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. (Albert Einstein)
If you suck at conversations in general just tell her.
Otherwise try to find out what her interests are. Play 20 questions or so. (if you don't know what it is just look up '20 questions' on google)
and yer, don't be scared to appear weird ^^

I agree with prettyinpink. Talk is overrated. You've already established there is an attraction, so if you must talk try talking about something completely random. Also, asking her opinion of something is a good ice breaker.
so.... you're wearing a belt, eh? yup, no suspenders for you!
if you can't make real conversation, just make something up that you know nothing about, and fish her for an opinion. then build off that and let it flow organically.
I agree with what most of the people here already are saying.
Try not to make it awkward. Talk about every day things to get conversation rolling. Possibly when doing this do another activity, Bowling, go for a walk, be out in the world so that you can possibly get a random topic to talk about from whats going on around you.
Go grab something to eat, or go see a movie!! There you're not expected to say anything and it can still be a great time!
