Hey, well done on coming out. Were your parents supportive?
Do you and this girl have plans to meet up? I sometimes find it helpful to think about topics of conversation in advance. Even if the conversation ends up flowing quite naturally and I don't end up needing my conversation starters, I feel better when I feel prepared! You could think about what you already know about this girl and have a few ideas of things to ask that you would find interesting to know about and that it seems like she'd enjoy talking about. For example maybe she has an interesting job or hobby, or perhaps she's mentioned something that she's passionate about. You could also think about if there's any low-intensity current affairs (i.e. not Brexit) that you could chat about or a local news story that is funny/heartwarming.
Another thing I'm very keen on is having an exit plan! Hopefully you two will get on well and it won't be needed, but maybe it would help to know what your excuse for leaving will be just in case it isn't going well or if you're just feeling too anxious.
I hope that helps a bit and that things go well with the girl; good luck!
