breathe woman!
Just treat the date as an outing with a new friend- the pressure will be lowered.
Know that he is probably as nervous about it as you are, (well, maybe not enough to ask about it, but anyway)
Be honest; be yourself! if it works, well it works; and if it doesn't, you killed some time.
Enjoy your date and let me know how it goes.

Share the thing you know you both have in common. The fact you were set up on the date. Smile and say "I'm pretty nervous but my friend loves hooking me up." That should start a conversation.

If you've met him, or seen him interacting with other people, try to remember any topics that they may have been discussing. If not, introduce a nuetral topic such as music, or ask them if they've seen a certain television show. Try to get them to talk about themselves, most people will open up and feel more comfortable if given the chance to discuss, THEIR favorite things to do. If they seem to be shy, try talking to them like they were someone you met in the hallway at school and discuss things that happened to you that day, or a movie you've recently seen.

First off, be right upfront about not knowing him...after all your on a blind date. Say something like this after introductions and "Its nice to meet you"...."Well, tell me about yourself John"....some things to learn about him are:
1. What does he do for a living? Does he like his job? Did he go to school? etc.
2. What does he do for fun? Sports, games, hobbies, etc.
3. Does he have any siblings? If its different then how you grew up, tell him about your family and ask how it was growing up like he did.
As he talks about himself, interject with your own relavent stories...answer any of his questions as well. If things are going particularly well, ask him how he ended up on a blind date!!! That is always an interesting question that leads to relationship talk. After that, your a woman...you KNOW how to talk relationships.
That should be enough to break the ice...if you have any other questions, feel free to contact me.

Talk about work, family. Don't stress be your self, and things will fall into place. My soon to be husband and I were just going to be friends, and now we are to be married on Saturday. And we really didn't no what to talk about either. Just go with flow have fun and relax.

Ask your friend what his intrests are. You should be able to get a good conversation started with what your friend says.
