    This is really happening

    We booked our flights a few weeks ago, but today we booked both of the hotels. Everything is booked. I've purchased everything I felt like I "needed". All that's left to do now is wait and then pack. 39 days. This is really happening. We're really going to meet in just over a month after talking for a year. I feel overwhelmed with excitment... and the nerves are creeping in. This is really happening. I keep telling myself I need to chill out. 39 days is still a ways away... sorta. But still! I don't feel like I should be freaking out this much yet. I'm going to be a mess when we get to the twenties... less than twenty... a week. Oh god... I shouldn't be freaking out this much already. I'll probably drive myself crazy within the next month. This is REALLY happening!!

    How do/did you keep calm when a visit or first meeting is coming up?

    When you met in the airport (or where ever you might have met) was it terribly awkward?

    If it was awkward, how long did it last?

    I was only a nervous wreck when I was pulling into his neighborhood looking for his house. My stomach was hurting so much from the butterflies and then it was THE worst when I rang the doorbell waiting for him xD I saw him through the screen door coming out and I was like "omg he cleaned up so nice for me, he looks so cute.....HOLY S**T HE'S TALL!!" XD
    The whole first night was awkward lol Which only lasted about maybe 3-4 hours before I had to leave to go back to my hotel. We are both shy, mostly me and I've never had a boyfriend before him, so I didn't really know what to do or say. We just took a walk and held hands, talked a little to warm up to each other and I was starting to feel more comfortable. Then when we got back we watched a movie. Then at the end of the night I had my first kiss ^^ So it wasn't TOO awful xP hehe
    Don't worry so much, it will be ok :3 I hope you guys have lots of fun and romantic times together this visit!

      lol you sound so excited yet and even more anxious/ nervous :P Take a deep breath lol
      When I first my SO I was really excited and nervous on the plane but when we first met in the airport I wasn't nervous at all! There was no awkward moments or anything. Even now when he visits or I go there I don't get nervous just anxiousness and excited to see him again.Just remember he is probably just as nervous/excited/anxious as you are plus I'm sure it won't be awkwardness ( I thought there would be too but surprisingly it goes away fast!) Good luck and enjoy your visit.

        I was INCREDIBLY nervous when I first met my SO. He came to see me. Your feelings are so normal lol you'll probably feel still like this even AFTER you meet each other!
        I was absolutely panicking when he was walking up to the house but I sucked in a deep breath of air, thinking, "here we go! this is it!" For me, I was nervous that he wouldn't like me as much as he had over the phone (we met prior to webcams so we only knew each other from pictures and phone calls). You will get through it though I still get butterflies when I go to see my man or when I know he is going to come down the stairs from his flight.

        GOOD LUCK! Try and breathe until then lol it'll be hard! You'll have to let us know how it goes!!

          We're having our first meeting soon. Luckily, things have been really busy work and family wise which helped keep us distracted. The closer the date gets though the more exciting it is. Keep busy and distracted is all I can say.

            aww you sound so cute and happy! haha

            anyways don't worry.. the nerves are totally normal! i freaked out the minute i knew i was really going to meet him in real life

            it wasn't awkward at allll when i saw him for the first time! i remember i was shaking like crazy, and my hands were sweating! but the minute he walked into the airport door i ran into his arms and we were hugging and kissing.. it was so natural, i felt like i had known him forever! i remember that day like it was yesturday

                I am so excited for you! You are going to have a blast! When I first saw my SO of course I was nervous, but once he hugged me all my nerves went away everything seemed to flow naturally

                  LOL!! I felt just the same way about a year ago There's not a lot you can do for the next 39 days, but enjoy the feeling of anticipation. It really will be awesome! There will probably be a slight bit of awkwardness at first, but it goes away fast, so don't worry about that. You're gonna do great.

                    5k, that's so awesome. I'm so happy for you.

                    For Lisa and I, it was never awkward. But we did both have this surreal feeling. We even talked to each other about it. It was like an amazing dream. You know those dreams that you have where you are disappointed when you wake up? Like say you find a stack of money under your bed and it feels so real that when you wake up you check under your bed? That's what it kept feeling like. Lisa is my dream come true.

                    But anyways, just try to let things happen as they will. I'm sure that everything will work out.
                    I'm carrying your love with me.

                    Carrying your love with me.
                    It's my strength for holdin' on,

                    I'll have everything I ever need.

                      I'm so excited for you!

                      So, when we met it wasn't super awkward, but we were a little more restrained than we thought we'd be. LOL. We held hands all the way back to town, and once we started kissing in the hotel room, well, it was all snuggles.

                      Don't be surprised if both of you are nervous and end up bickering a bit. Give yourself some more space and understanding, because this will be a big deal for both of you.

                        Awwwwww I remember that feeling! What made it worse for me was that no-one knew I was going to see him so I had no-one to talk/vent to when I was panicking and nervous!

                        It's impossible to say whether or not it will be awkward but even if it will be it won't last for too long I'm sure - it's bound to feel a little weird at first to be able to look and touch the person who's been behind your screen for a year. It will be amazing though

                        Try to keep yourself busy, like you said it's 39 days still (even though it feels like a day after a year lol) and you'll drive yourself mad if you keep thinking about it non-stop until it happens.

                        I'm sure everything will be great, you love him and he loves you and there's nothing like the feeling of being in his arms for the very first time ♥

                          I think that the 40- to 10-day countdown amounts to psychological torture!! It's close enough to be on the horizon and to get REALLY excited about it, but not quiiiite close enough yet to be able to touch it or say "This is it!!". It's hard to sit still, but there's nowhere to go... yet! Once I get under 10 days it's bliss because then he's practically in my arms
                          I end up talking to him more during that extended countdown, because I feel like I can't bear not to, I get so excited. I end up working more to distract myself/eat up the days until the visit. The more things I do, the more the days slip by. Also I end up writing about him a lot during those last weeks, sometimes poems and sometimes just my feelings in general, to help let off some of the energy.

                          The first time I saw him, he came to visit me at a Bed & Breakfast I was staying at in Scotland... I sat in my room waiting to hear a knock on the door downstairs... just sitting there, my stomach was too knotted to do anything else. I felt so sick, but the knock came, and I just threw my arms around him in a huge hug, and held it- and all the knots were gone in an instant. It was the BEST feeling, ever

                          It wasn't too awkward, I mean there were silences where we didn't say much and just kinda looked at each other, where we were both thinking "oh my god he/she is really here and it's even BETTER in real life!"... but if you share what you're thinking and laugh about it and about the quiet moments/awkwardness, then it diffuses it and replaces it with closeness.

                          I think there is an adjustment to being with your SO in real life rather than over the phone/Skype. It's not quite the same, and you learn to interact with each other on a different level than what you're used to- it's something you kinda learn together, and it's amazing- it's the same as you have been doing on phone/web, just in a more comprehensive, more fulfilling way!! I suspect you'll have an easy time with any adjusting since you'll both be travelling together once he's here, there will be things to do & places to see... you'll have a purpose. That will automatically give you things to focus on & talk about, and you'll be creating memories together as you get to know him on the 'real life' level.... it will be perfect
                          We collided and fell out of nothingness... scattering stars like dust
