First meeting ANXIETY.

I guess this is normal, but I am FREAKING OUT. I know I keep posting about this, but I can't stop talking about it. In 16 days he will be here and sleeping on my couch and I will get to be in his presence! But I have these moments where I get all sorts of crazy anxiety. Like, what if he doesn't like what he sees, or what if his flight gets cancelled, or what if he breaks his leg and can't come!

Every possible but unlikely situation crosses my mind and it's driving me absolutely insane.

Help.

The only thing you can do is try not to think about all of those bad things, yes they do happen...but you gotta stay positive about the visit. The first time I was supposed to meet my SO there was a horrible storm and he couldn't fly out until the following day. It was just a minor set back, but everything ended up being great. So just stay positive and think of all the good times you are going to have together. Just don't over think every single moment when you two are together or it will be a huge disappointment, just let whatever happens, happen I can't wait to hear about your first visit!!

I was just like you, I had all of these crazy thoughts about why it WOULDN'T work out. I had a 15 hour flight and I had never been away from home before. Don't worry, really! I'm a terrible worrier and meeting her was just...

The minute she saw me in the airport, she ran up and hugged me and kissed me and it was amazing. All of my worries were gone.

So yeah. Trust this person. The chances of them not liking you are probably slim. Have confidence!

The only advice I can give you is to just relax and stay positive.
Don't over think stuff cause, you'll just make your self go crazy. lol It'll be fine and probably a dream come true. I had some of the the same nervousness when I went to meet my SO. And when we met it just felt normal. Like we had been together forever. Keep breathing and enjoy every moment!

I hear ya..
I am meeting my man in 50 days and I am really, really, really, really scared!
What helped me calm down a bit was talking to him about any possible thing that could happen and was making me worry too much or nervous. And we talked through every single thing - from the "what if they send me back when I arrive in america?" over the "what if I say something stupid and your family gets offended?" to the "what if you don't like what you see?". He's worried too, I'm sure you can take away your insecurities

I was sooo sooo nervous about meeting my boyfriend for the first time. From the day he booked his flight I was anxious and would feel my pulse race whenever i thought about seeing him for the first time.
The day before I could hardly sleep, I napped on and off all day and in between frantically spring cleaned my house so everything would be nice for his arrival.
Mega nervous in the cab to the airport to meet him, but as soon as I set eyes on him, complete calm. I hugged and kissed him and we got back to the cab and held hands all the way home.
It was completely natural from then on, we're soulmates and theres no denying it
