How To Avoid that dreaded silence on a first date?

Right, I have a date with a beautiful girl tomorrow, and well im not nervous or anything but just scared that there will be an awqward silence, any tips to avoid this would be appreciated.|||find out all the things she likes, and talk about them ( even write them on a notecard if you cant remember them all) and she should talk about it pretty much the whole time, just seem interested and there wont be that awkward silence!!! Have Fun, and Good Luck!|||What works for me is to get some one-liners or stupid puns. Ya can't go wrong with puns....ok, well, maybe you can. lol but at least it'll be with a smile. XD or you could be all like "so, hows your day been? whats new in your world? do you know the muffin man?" jk about the last one.|||DONT go to a restaurant bowling or summat is best for first dates - and just be real anyway gud luck
