Small Talk
Now that she/he has agreed to go out with you, what are you going to talk about? 

Questions 
To break the ice you may want to ask your Japanese honey questions about him/herself. Please review lessons 1, 2, and 4 these will be most helpful in finding out personal info, without risking a slap in the face or a dousing in ice water. 
Weather  
I know, I know, the weather is a boring topic, I agree, but asking a Japanese person about the weather is about the equivilent of asking an American how they are doing. Something to do with the days when the weather and a persons livelihood coincided, the rice crops and all that.... Meaning that when a person said that the weather was bad, it ment that they were not good or their crops were not good. Of corse, times have changed, and the weather doesn't have that sort of effect on someones feelings anymore. Don't worry,  A Japanese person will not think that you are an incredibally boring person if you speak on the weather a lot, they will simply stop listening to you and walk away. No no no.. just kidding! ^_^

Diolouge: Weather 
Uukyou asks Ryouga about his recent trip to Okinawa. 
 
Uukyou: Okinawa no donna tenki deshita ka. 
Ryouga: Hare desu yo.
Uukyou: Aa..Ii tenki deshita wo!
Ryouga: Iie, atsu sugiru. 
Uukyou: Sou....

Translation:  
Uukyou: How was the weather in Okinawa?
Ryouga: It was sunny.
Uukyou: Aa.. It was good weather then! 
Ryouga: No, it was too hot.
Uukyou: I see....

Ryouga sounds a little bitter, maybe it's from all that walking.
 
Quick Lesson on: Sentence Final Particles: Sentence final particles are optional particles at the very end of a sentence. So far we have only worked with one sentence final particle, ne. 'Ne' is used when you want someone to agree with you, sort of like saying isn't that right? sou desu ne? There are more little nuances you can add to your Japanese to make yourself sound a little more authentic. 
 
Sentence Final Particles 
yo Used when you are informing the listener about something that you are privy to, like your feelings or something that happened to you. ex. biyoki deshita yo. I was sick. 
wo Female sentence final particle. used when expressing admiration, desire or surprise. 
na Male sentence final particle used when expressing admiration, desire or surprise. 
Ok Thats enough for now. More of those later. 
How Are You? 
The Japanese are very big on being polite, so usually when someone asks 'how are you" they don't expect to hear about  your recent trip to the dentist for a root canal, especially if you are just meeting the person. Asking how you are is meerly a formality. Only very close friends and relitives really care about how you are. 
Dialouge: How Are You?
Toufuu-sensei sees Akane taking a walk. 
 
Toufuu: Akane san, o-genki desu ka?
Akane: Hai, genki desu. Toufuu-sensei wa genki desu ka?
Toufuu: Okage sama de...

Translation:  
Toufuu: Akane, how are you?
Akane: I'm fine, and as for you Toufuu-sensei, how are you?
Toufuu: Thanks to you...(I'm great)
Oohh that Ono is so suave, it almost sounds like he's coming on to our Akane doesn't it? "Thanks to you", indeed.... 
Note: Despite the way it sounds in the translation, Toufuu is totally innocent, this is a common phrase used among friends.
