That's definitely promising. Here's the key piece of advice: be yourself, but a little better. If she's interested, she's interested because of who you are. Work to be a little more mindful of her, but don't do something you wouldn't do.
Focus on having a good time at the tavern, and her having a good time. You can ask her if she's interested if you'd like, or after we can go over what happened and I can try to help you see.
Stop and take a breath when you get tongue-tied. It's all right, and it happens to everyone. It's not like this is your one single chance to speak with her.
You're friends already, from the sounds of it. Remember that.

I just don't want to blow it, you know? I've never met up with someone my own age like this before!
[Deep breath.]
...but breathing's good. I'll remember that.

May I ask who it is?

She sounds like quite the find. You'll have to tell me how it goes after.

[He's so giddy and excited. A date! With a girl! Who is awesome! It's everything he wanted, really.]
