i'm going on a date with this new guy. i'm really good friends with his sister, so she's told him we have a lot in common. hopefully he'll take that as an intiative to start some sort of conversation, but if not, what should be my back up plan? also, what do guys not want to hear? and i know talking about past relationships is a no, especially on the first date, but what else?

Definitely ask him about his interests, but don't make him feel like he's on an interview! Too many questions is bad also. Just try to relax and let the conversation flow naturally. He should also be asking you questions and showing an interest in the things you like to do.
If all else fails, then talk about his sister and trade funny stories. He's bound to open up eventually and, if not, then maybe you didn't have that much in common after all.

Ask questions -- lots of questions -- and ones that force him to answer with more than one or two word answers. Getting to know people starts by showing an interest in their lives, their interests, and what they do.
Don't plan too much -- just relax and be yourself!

Talk about your mutual interests. look him in the eye and ask intelligent questions and give simple intelligent answers to his questions.
