The First Date Nerves (need advice)

Basically, it's been four years since I've had a "date" date. I've had hangouts with girls solo but I wouldn't consider them dates, mostly friendly banter and enjoying social interactions.

However, I've been talking to this girl for about a month or two now and I finally had the testicles to ask her out after we hung out a week ago. That being said though, the hangout was great but I just felt like I wasn't being interesting enough and she only was taking pity on me and such, though I think that was nerves, insecurity and anxiety all at once. I'm also having trouble trying to pick out if she's actually interested or not.

First date I'm taking her to a grill that I recommended and she was interested in. Not sure about after that, will probably just wing it. How do I keep the atmosphere light enough without getting too overboard?

Willing to answer questions.
