"Just be yourself" is corny advice, but it's also true. Even if you're weird there's no point in covering it up because if it works out you'll just have to keep doing it for the rest of the relationship, which doesn't sound fun. If you've got nerves, just remember your manners, try to listen more than you talk, and have some questions in mind for changing the subject if the conversation seems to veer off track or hit a lull. Asking follow-up questions is a good way to keep the conversation going and not something that people always remember to do, so it'll make you more memorable.

Best of luck! Hope it goes well stalin-heart
