I used to sometimes worry about whether or not to say some things in a conversation with someone i wasn't a comfortable talker with, i'd like worry for example if i was going to make a joke that it wouldn't be funny and so i wouldn't say it. But i've learnt to worry less about this and just talk as I would comfortably talk with my close friends. The girl will not care, trust me, it's better than having awkwards silent moments anyway. Sometimes I also find with people when a conversation gets awkward it can even be good to admit it, like sorta comically mention something like, hmmm conversation is dying isn't it? (then insert random question here to get conversation going again :P). Hope this helps!

 I think Eve's post is absolutely fantastic but it's also important to have some things to talk about that are a little less intense and more personal. After all, you can't just walk up to someone and ask them where in the world they would most like to visit although that's an excellent question for when the conversation is dying off a bit and you want to keep it going. Before you approach her think of some things you can bring up, like how hard the maths homework was or how annoying your chemistry teacher is etc. They tend to move into a good chat quite easily.
