Alright, this is a really common problem that I usually see on the first night of program...
You get comfortable approaching girls, but after 2-3 minutes, the conversation winds down and you don't know what to say.
The thing that you have to realize is... If you are running out of things to say/worried what to say, you are coming from the wrong frame.
It comes from the idea of "Who is impressing who?"
When you are worrying about what to say, or what you are doing... You are worrying about the impression you give the girl.
Instead you should be coming from the higher value frame of, "Who are you? Justify yourself? What do you have to offer ME?"
It's coming at it from the other side, YOU are the one screening HER to see if she is up to par.
Just like when you are talking to a 5 year old you don't run out of things to say, you shouldn't run out of things to say when you are talking to her either because you don't know if she is even suitable to talk with...

As a beginner I understand it is hard to internalize the frame of being "higher value". Some techniques that work, and others have mentioned here...
-Speak with statements not questions.
-LOWER your bar for what is acceptable to talk about. -Women speak on an emotional level, it's about what you are subcommunicating through your touch, body language, eye contact, vocal tonality... that counts, not the words that are coming out of your mouth.
-If you are INTERESTED in the topic, you will be INTERESTING. -she just wants to know what you are interested in, it doesn't have to pertain to her or some bullshit about dresses or relationships...
Also, realize that getting physical early on helps give a sexual charge to the conversation, and makes it less likely to stale out.
And for overcoming it... Just STICK IN THERE. It's just new uncomfortable territory, and just like opening, you just need to stick at it until you feel comfortable 30 minutes into the conversation.
Thx guys. Brad, I'm great when it comes to DHV. I put myself on a high pedestal. That's my character. My problem is regular conversation. Even when I'm with friends at times, I don't have much to say. This problem is a general problem. Do I have to read interesting things, is there sites to get interesting facts? Is this something I have to do? Any advice?
