First date talk-help

Hey guys. So I'm going on a first date with a girl from online. I'm still pretty new to this, and game in general. The last first date with a girl I went on had some issues and I wanted some advice on avoiding them this time.

1) I feel like I'm a pretty interesting guy, but I realized last time when we were telling eachother about ourselves I basically listed off everything about me too fast, and probably too simply. Kind of how Roosh says to not give them all the information right away, and keep them guessing and to keep a feel of mysteriousness and depth about you. Due to that, awkward silences came up here and there, and I probably came off as a fairly boring person. But how can you tell them about yourself without saying too much, and still having enough material to talk about? I haven't really traveled much at this point so I'm pretty limited on worthwhile stories.

2) I still live at home with my parents and don't currently have a full time job which has allowed me to more easily pusure my chosen career. I'm almost there, but not quite yet. I plan to move out within the next half year or so hopefully, but the fact remains that I still live with my parents at age 25. Last time I explained my situation I definitely sensed judgement from the girl and got that vibe from her that she didn't seem impressed. How can I handle mentioning I live with my parents and my situation while still appearing alpha and not like a loser. I have good reasons for being where I am in life, but it's hard to explain that to a stranger, and I don't want to have to qualify myself to her.

3) Getting over basic nerves. It's stupid, because I'm usually great around people I know, relaxed, and generally confident and comfortable with them, but for some stupid reason I still get nervious meeting a girl for the first time even when I don't care much about them yet. Just makes me come off as less alpha overall with the bits of nerviousness in there I think. I know this is basically just a repitition issue, but thought I'd throw it in anyway.

Thanks a lot guys.

Best approach is to focus on her and get her talking more than you talk. Do this with good questions:

good= anything that makes her describe to you HOW SHE THINKS about the topic.

Memorize these:
"what did/do you think about that?"
"What is/was that like for you?"

When you talk about yourself, be self-effacing. Make fun of yourself, WITH A SMILE like you really don't care. This makes her feel more comfortable talking about HERSELF.

She's probably just as nervous as you. Don't forget that.

So -
1. questions about how she thinks/feels
2. statements that bring you down to earth and make her feel comfortable being herself with you
3. don't get trapped worrying if she likes you - she's nervous about YOU liking her.

Most important - have fun. Having fun trumps everything.
