Meeting someone I met online...FREAKING OUT!!!
Hoookay....so I've met this guy online (this was almost a year ago) and we've decided we are going to meet eachother in person for the first time...(We're meeting in a VERY public place, and I'll have someone with me and such) However, I think it's possible that I might really, really like this guy! I know I won't know for sure until I actually meet him, I'm still scared...though he's seen my picture and told me that I'm pretty, I'm still not entirely confident about my looks (Particularly my teeth...) and I'm worried about saying or doing the wrong things, yadda' yadda'...so I guess what I'm asking is for advice from anyone who has met someone online and then in person...thoughts? Suggestions?

I'm sure this guy likes you. If he didn't, he'd have no interest in meeting you in person (unless he was a pedophile). Good for you for meeting in public & bringing a friend with you just to be safe. Keep your cell phones handy as well.
I think you have every right to be nervous. But, remain confident. If you show any hint of being insecure, it could be a turn off if he picked up on it. It's okay to be nervous, but try & keep your cool. You'll be fine.

I met my boyfriend online and we have been together for 8 months and are very very happy! I talked to him for 2 months before I met him in person. I would definitely say just be yourself and relax, it's supposed to be fun! Since you have been talking to him for a year you already know you get along and your personalities match so the very worst thing that could happen is that there is no romantic chemistry and you made a very good friend! Good luck, I am sure it will work out great!

I,myself, have had this same experience recently. Meeting someone face-to-face for the first time is always scary but I decided I was just going to be myself. Being who you truly are is a whole lot easier than putting on a front to begin with and secondly you should be nothing other than honest with this person. In my situation I went into the date being exactly who I am everyday, unfortunately the person I talked to on-line was not the person I met for that date. You actually are in good shape I think. You stated that you've been talking for almost a year right? well basically you already know this person so it's just the initial physical meeting that's an issue and I'm sure whoever this guy is he's interested in you for more than your looks. Otherwise I don't think he would've stuck around a whole year. :) I know it's nerve racking, but just be yourself and what will be...will be!! Good luck and have a great time.

Meeting people whether they're online or not when you're insecure about yourself is nerve racking. If you are yourself, and the guy likes you, great. If you don't act like yourself, he will find out your true colors eventually and he will not appreciate not knowing the real you. Just be you, im sure it will be fine.
