I have a friend date on Thursday!

As I've sort of mentioned, I'm struggling again a lot recently. A lot of things have just formed together, and I've been very, very low. I've really wanted an IRL friend (I mean, you guys are great. But I want someone to hang out with!) besides Rob. I love Rob, but I need a girlfriend!
So, about a week before I moved to PA, I joined this site that's just for women to make platonic friendships. I recently started talking to this girl, and we have a lot in common, and she invited me out to dinner this week. If all things go well, I think we mentioned going to see Catching Fire together as well!
I'm really excited and nervous. I haven't had girl time with a friend since June...and that was with my cousin. I really haven't hung out with a friend since Missouri. So, that's five months. And like, it feels so much like a date. I want to wear a nice outfit, and I want to make sure I say interesting and funny things, and not make an idiot of myself...it's stressful!
For people who have had friend dates with people they don't know super well, what did you do to make it work? I mean, I understand that to some degree we'll either hit it off or we won't (although our messages and texts seem to imply that we will!). Any advice?
