Meeting a friend help!!!!!!

Hiya, I’m meeting a friend who I’ve never met in person before. We’re online friends (gamer friends basically) and this is our first time meeting in person. What topics do I talk about? What happens if the conversation goes quiet? How should I not be awkward?? Please help I’m such an introvert. Thanks.

First things first, make sure to meet in a public place such as a cafe, restaurant, or other place where there will be plenty of people so that you know they aren't a weirdo.

Anyway, once you know they aren't that, just talk about what you would when playing games. Surely you would have spoken about stuff over voice chats with them?

Yeah she's legit and we are meeting in a cafe.

Well we usually talk about games but she's travelled quite far to meet me it's not like for 2 hours or something where I can wrap up the convo. So we'll probs talk about games but other than that i'm not too sure on what she likes. We used to have a polite chit chat about our lives before we game like hey how was school etc etc.

I don't want to be awkward because I know that if she was living closer and we could meet more we'd be really good friends but on the other hand I don't know if I say something or do something she'd back out or get offended, e.g i start talking about makeup and she doesn't have much to say. So I'm kinda scared but also excited.
