You can't "plan" what to say on a date. It just happens. Each person is different. You might get into a two-hour conversation about the Meaning of Life and both enjoy it. You might each go home at the end of the date not knowing whether the other person has any pets or family, or what their favourite colour is, but who cares? The important thing is that you both enjoy one another's company.
Edit: I agree with Octobertiger. I don't think I've ever been on a formal "date." I have just sort met people, and then met up with them again. When meeting up, I just talk naturally about anything that comes into my head (within reason)! I have never had a "checklist" with which to interrogate people, and thankfully so far no one has ever interrogated me, either.
Or a political campaign. "And when we are married and have children, we can retire to Arizona"
. "And I promise never to leave my underwear on the floor ever"

I can draw out people really well and so I've always done well when I've decided to date.Men AND women like to feel they are the center of the universe, 
,so ask genuine questions and not weird ones.Don't focus on your hobbies/traits/abnormalities.At some point they might be exposed to them,but they don't need to be right away.Don't talk about yourself incessantly,my cousin does that all the time,to the extant that my father said to me ,"You have so much more to offer the world than she does." Sometimes people who are isolated,by others or themselves,lose touch with social skills and having an actual discussion.Discussion is not talking about your favorite computer games/obsessions for half an hour.Discussion involves both people and is stimulating,intelligent and enjoyable.Classes ought be given in elementary school...
