Well, that's another painful time in my life behind me now, but what I learned from that experience I believe made me a better man for my next lady... that is if I ever find her, or she finds me... what ever happens will happen in it's own due time.. so until then I will just keep on keepin on.. yep..
I would like to wish you every happiness in your new relationship.....may romance blossem and you both become best friends......it´s always nice to hear the sucess stories......help´s me keep the faith in humankind......
Have a wonderful new year....2008 is already looking up for you....

It will most likely be magical for the two of you..and once you give each other that first kiss and hug there will be no more nervousness!
I met a guy last year on here and we had lunch but then nothing more...he never called again..he wnt back to his ex..but he was much better looking in person!
Then Wednesday I met Erickissesdeeply..we are just friends but meeting him after talking to him was truly amazing..he is much better looking in person as well but he was still the nice sweet guy as always..didn't have much time but he was sweet enough to drive a bit to meet me and southernbrat! Have a friend for life now I hope, in both of them!
So, just relax .. be yourself..don't drink too many whiskeys! You want him to know the real you! Which he already adores!

I have been exactly where you guys are. Before I met Suzy, I was very nervous..that is natural. I was lucky enough to get to know her through e-mails, phone and web cam 2 months before I actually met her. Just rely on the fact that you guys already know each other...it helps with the initial jitters. I had all kinds of scenarios running through my head...what to say, how to even greet her. But I walked into her house and after she got ready, we embraced. We held each other...we were in awe of each other and held onto each other. It was very comforting!
Just do what feels natural...be yourselves. Suzy was more than I expected..she was stunning in every way. And don't worry about awkward moments of silence. That will pass...Suzy and I are no longer together, but I will aways remember our 1st meeting as incredible and special!!
One more piece of advice...listen to each other. Try to focus and that helps with the nervousness. In the end, my 1st meeting with Suzy was one of the best weeks of my life!! I went in with alot of nervousness, but came out with reassurance! Good luck you guys and have fun!!!
For some reason women seem to get more "tensed up" than men, I think? I've seen women have their hands shaking from being so nervous. Remember, you're not meeting God...just another person.
When I was doing "meet and greets" on a somewhat regular basis, my attitude was; either they will like me or they won't. The next thought was...what's the worse thing that can happen..... "nothing".
Might walk away with a good friend though...if not, the world doesn't end.
Exactly, that attitude is the right one to have! You really are just meeting another person, who either will or will not like you. So I'm like you, I just go with it, and if she doesn't like me, that's her problem!
Men don't understand, sometime to us you do seem like a God......I think that I would be less nervous meeting God in person, after all he's seen me do all my bad deeds as well as good ones, and he loves me for who I am Can't say the same about men though.
As for the op, I'm sure that you two will be wonderful! I have no doubt about it.
I almost met someone on here, but I got to know him too well over the net and found out that he wasn't my cup of tea
alright, I lied.......I was afraid he wouldn't like me....... so I bailed. Now he hates me what's a girl to do???

All I can say is be yourself, relax, enjoy and it will be fine. I've met a few people from this site and they have all (with the exception of the first) been absolutely wonderful.
Enjoy the anticipation and excitement leading up to the moment you meet. I can assure you, you will both be too excited to worry about moments of silence.
We had been *speaking* on-line for MONTHSS.. BUTTTT.. only a few times one the phone.
I HAD *made plans* with him.. and I flew to Chicago (tho he was a Brit) to meet him..
and the split SECOND I clapped eyes on him at the airport. I knew I had made a huuuge mistake. (I don't mean looks)..
He was FILTHY... not work dirty.. like filthy stinky DURTY.
His house was a DUMP... mess and crap everywhere.. he had known for MONTHS I was coming.. and he couldn't even pick up the 50 (I kid you not!) crushed Malboro packs (and tissues!! Eww) off the floor around his Pc.
He ALSO had BIG blown up pictures of me all strewn over his bed. (Yeeeash)
He was TOTALLY different to how he had come across on all those months.. seeing him walk talk and move.. was soooo *wrong*... not at ALL what I had *Imagined* him to be. He was Staggeringly in debt (which He didn't tell me about).. and his utilities were being cut off one by one while I was there. (SO *I* was paying them) He didn't even have ANYTHING to feed his dog.
But I really do think... that part of the KEY to that mistake was NOT spending more time with him on the phone.. I'm sure I would have backed out waaaaaaaayy sooner.
Anyhooo.. that's what happened to me.
I am farrrr more suspicious of meeting a potential 'Partner' on-line now. I even background and criminal records check them. As well as everything else I can find out to make sure they are being honest with me.
Aww, that's awful! Next time, I'm sure you'll not be so worried about if he likes you or not. He either will or won't!! (And I'm sure he will, as you're a cool chica!)
