Afraid to ask a girl questions about herself because I don't want to run out of things to ask if we go on a date.

[James63]

If I meet a girl somewhere for the first time, I'm afraid to ask too many questions. I'm afraid that if we decide to grab coffee or something I won't have anything to ask her. How can I fix this?

Going on dates shouldn't be about an awkward question-and-answer session.  You should be yourself and let the conversation flow naturally.  If you have chemistry with the person, the conversation will just happen naturally and you won't run out of things to talk about.  Stop overthinking this.

A good question should open the door to a good conversation.  It's also about finding things in common or learning something new about each other.

For instance "where did you go to school?" can open up a whole rabbit hole of what it was like at school, what was the area she lived in like and her experiences growing up.   If you lived in the same area, you can laugh or cringe at each other's stories.  If you didn't grow up in the same area, you can compare notes.
