sunflower89 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Hey everyone, Just looking for...I don't know really. Support? Advice? Other first meeting stories? What to expect? HELP! We've been talking for over a year now--Developed feelings for eachother and decided to arrange a meeting. That was 126 (So sad for counting!) days ago and now we are at 4 and I'm anxious! I feel so strongly for him now but I'm worried I wont feel that way when he comes over. But then again, why would I feel any different? We know everything about eachother, have seen eachother on cam every day..I just don't know what could go wrong, I guess. Also--We've arranged to meet in a bar at the airport because I think I will literally die of nerves if I have to wait at the gate. How did you guys do it? How were your first meetings?
SuburbanOblivion Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 LOL..I feel for you, I really do. I was such a bundle of nerves getting ready to meet my SO. Wretched, horrid, "OMG I'm going to puke or crap myself" kind of nerves. I'm betting it will go brilliantly for you though. In an online relationship you get to know someone so much better than had you met in person first, simply because you spend so much more time talking, and the physical stuff doesn't get in the way. That said, should we start taking bets on how fast he gets you into bed?
Author sunflower89 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 Haha, we are not sure we'll make it out of the airport!!
SuburbanOblivion Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 LOL! Unfortunately they have laws about that sort of thing, but I know SO and I weren't in the room more than 5 minutes before...*ahem*... after we got back to the hotel. Sexual tension is *definitely* part of the LDR dynamic, so I am pretty sure we get a Slut Pass on the 'no sex on the first date' rule.

I had all of the same concerns as you, worried that I wouldn't like him as much in person or vice versa. What helped was that we both agreed to have no other expectations except for meeting as very good friends. When we finally did meet at the airport, there was definitely a hug and a kiss, and it felt like perfection just to be with him. *sigh...*
Carm Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 LOL. I can also relate, I met mine at the airport 3 years ago after talking for over 5 months and I was so nervous wondering if the chemistry would not be there BUT it was fine. He was the same guy that I came to know over the internet and phone. Good luck, but I'm sure it'll be fine.
hoping2heal Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Well, I have only met one person from the internet in person. He was a guy but he was just a friend, we had talked for several years and neither of us were meeting with the intention of a relationship. It still made me kind of nervous because here is someone I've never been around physically; that said yes it was a little "weird" at first..but after an hour or so it was like I had known this person several years. I didn't feel at any bit like I was with a stranger or someone I didn't know. So, expect there to be a bit of awkwardness, but know that it's natural and normal and it does go away rather quickly.
SomeGirl Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 This is a great question, I was actually going to ask myself two weeks ago when I was in your position. (I never did cause i'm too shy hehe) My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 6 months. We met for the first time August 11th. It was awesome Things to know: 1) You will probably be more nervous as the minutes get closer. 2) The feeling that you may not click is 100% normal. 3) Things will be ackward at first, it basically depends on how long it takes for you guys to get over the nerves. 4) Remember that the person you've known all this time and have fallen for is the exact same person that will be with you at that bar Everything will be just fine i'm sure you are going to be very happy.

But in our first meeting in this March, we had an humorous event that helps alot! For some family reason that i needed to arrive shortly later. I asked him to wait in the Airport Mcdonald but he looked everywhere and found that there was only burger king. Then when we met, we kept laughing at this gag and we then feel the other ongoing so smooth. We hug, held hands and started our love journey to the hotel.
