You know what my problem is? I am not interesting. What am I supposed to say? I play Dark Souls and Smash Bros? "Ooh, do me, Dark Souls Master, I want you to do me cause you're the Dark Souls guy!"

Try to give yourself more things to talk about. You dont need to be the most interesting person in the world, but have some range.

Do you have any movies/TV shows that you like? Ask her what shes into - even pose it in a way where youre looking for recommendations for a new show to get into (gives you some common ground, if things progress).

Do you like sports? Does she like sports? The Super Bowl is tomorrow - thats a major event coming up. That can be a talking point. And some people watch the Super Bowl just for commercials or the half time show (Usher is performing). Speaking of which

What type of music do you like? What music does she like? Has she been to any fun concerts? Have you?

You can use very broad things as talking points. And the conversation can naturally pivot into directions you didnt expect, which can open new talking points (like youre talking about music, and she brings up a book she read about her favorite musician - that might be an indicator that reading is a hobby for her).

Oh, and dont bring up politics on a first date. That can bring everything to a screeching halt.
