    We're Meeting!!

    I know a bunch of people wait a while before they meet, but we aren't really doing anything traditional. We met on an online dating site, talked on there for several weeks then slowly started texting each other and then started talking on the phone. Now our two month anniversary is on the 13th, and I can't wait it feels like we have known each other forever and yet we just started talking. We've been planning on meeting for a while, but it always seemed like it would never come. He came up with the idea to meet in St Louis under the arch because its the halfway point for both of us, its in a popular area, and as he says it will be "romantic." Both of our families are very supportive, and his friends are very supportive. We really aren't taking any of our relationship slow, but it feels natural and we are just letting it happen. I'm nervous. I've never been nervous about meeting any of my ex's before (I've met several of my ex-boyfriends online) but I'm really nervous about meeting this guy. Both of us will be completely heartbroken if it doesn't go good, and I'm terrified that it will end badly. I know there is no reason for it but I'm still nervous. We're meeting this Friday (the 15th) at 4:30pm under the arch.

    Sorry for the rant...my mind is going a hundred miles a minute.

    Yay! Congrats on meeting soon! I would not suggest what you say is "traditional" and wait a long time to meet. Me and my SO have been talking for just about a year and are just going to meet for the first time next month. Not fun. Also meeting under the arch sounds so awesome and romantic! Have fun!

      I saw your post too. Congrats!! Where are you meeting at? We definitely didn't want to wait a long time. I understand about your nerves in your post I've been driving myself crazy waiting for 5 weeks!!

          Of course you're going to be nervous, you really like him! Don't worry about it, just go with it and have a great time. Meeting under the arch sounds awesome, and I think it's great that you get to meet sooner rather than later, I would have done the same thing if my LDR wasn't international and a little more tricky to work out the logistics Have fun and try not to worry too much!

            Oh my gosh how exciting, I'm so happy for you both! It does sound romantic meeting half way, and as for traditional... more than 76% of traditional relationships (meeting the 'normal' way) end with in the first 2 years, and 52% of traditional marriages end in divorce, so traditional is almost a guaranteed death sentence to a relationship. Let us know how it turns out!

            Everything I know, and anywhere I go, It gets hard but it won't take away my love,

              We're actually meeting at the airport in Salt Lake, where I live. And then we're flying together to California. He's from England.

                    Good luck!! So excited for you!!

                    Just to be on the safe side, in the very, very unlikely possibility that something goes wrong, I would have an "escape" plan of sorts set up. Of course, since it's only a weekend, I'm sure you'll be fine!

                    If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion...love actually is all around

                      Good for you! I've only known my SO for (nearly) two months as well, and if I could go meet her tomorrow, I would. As it stands, I've got to wait until December. But I'm damn well doing it. I know it might look odd to other people - "You've only known her two months and you're spending all that money and flying 5000 miles to see her?" - but when you have to, you have to. As it stands, by the time we meet it will have been four and a bit months, and I'm sure that still sounds like a short time to a lot of people. But to me it sounds like a very long time indeed.

                      So good on you, and here's to you having a wonderful time!
