Met a guy......
for the first time off of the site. I was nervous and scared and anxious and well basically I was a mess....we have talked for a few months and I am known to back out at the last minute because of my nerves....man they get to me. Well anyways it was nice....he spoiled me, which I am not used to, and was sweet, which I am not used to either. I just wanted to find out if anyone acted like me...like a complete idiot.... anyways he lives far away and all so I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with what I am going through..... Just wanted to say.... it wasn't as scary as my anxiety was making it out to be!

Some things that help lessen the anxiety when you are meeting another person is to always tell yourself, "I can only do the best I can and whatever happens can only make me grow stronger from the experience". Anxiety may stem from the high expectations we have of ourselves and/or of others. If we go to see someone with the attitude of "I'm meeting a friend and if it works out, it's great and if it doesn't, then it is also good". Then, then thought of meeting someone, will not be as bad.
I love this quote by Nelson Mandela when he says, "And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
Keep shining and all the best with that person!!!!
