Okay. I'm hopefully going to be hanging out with someone that I've been talking to over the internet (YES, I know who he is, and YES I have actually met him before but I've never really talked to him, AND NO.. He is not a 40 year old pervert who likes preying on little children.) and I'm afraid of the "awkward" silences cause we really haven't talked in person. Any conversation starters/tips for the first time hanging out??

Ask him about his music taste, movies taste, etc. ask him what he likes and tlk about it, after you can talk about personal things. Who nos mabey he's even the conversation strteer.

You could think of funny stories about your friends or family that could give him an idea on what to say next and keep the conversation going.

You should like do a double date type thing, its WAY more comfortable. Then, I don't know, ask his opinion on something.
