I'm going to be hanging out with a guy for the first time and I'm really nervous, how can I not be awkward?

He lives like a block away from me and we thought that we looked familiar to each other so we decided to become friends over that. I'm a super shy person and get really nervous when hanging out with people for the first time as I think I'm going to be awkward or it's going to be boring. I need some reassurance.
