    Advice about partner visiting for the first time?

    So my boyfriend is officially coming in 21 days, and I'm kinda nervous. Any advice from experienced couples?

    I don't really have advice other than: remember you already know each other. It might feel a little weird at first because you're not used to his physical presence but it's not like you're meeting a stranger. Think of it like the continuation of a conversation rather than the beginning of one. Just relax, be yourself. Everything will fall into place!

      Thanks! I know that I shouldn't be nervous, but I really am! I guess I'm just a tad bit insecure ;x

          Okay I know that's what he's been telling me, to relax. I just dont wanna say something wrong or be shy.. and I'm not when I'm talking to.. but I just am scared real life is different.

            It's normal to be nervous but you've already known him for this long, and he knows you. You're not going to scare each other off. Just try to remember that



            Met online: 1/30/11
            Met in person: 5/30/12
            Second visit: 9/12/12
            Closed the distance: 1/26/13!!!

              It's definitely different to meeting a stranger.

              Just enjoy the experience . You only get to meet each other for the first time, once. It's something that you will never forget.

                I remember I was extremely nervous while I was at the airport waiting for his plane to come in. It took a few hours to even really believe he was finally right next to me. But we got comfortable with each other really fast, because we already knew each other, and we already loved each other. He's one of the few people I've ever been able to really be myself around. It'll all be fine, don't worry(: It's okay to be nervous, but remember this guy knows you and really cares for you. So be yourself and enjoy his presence(:

                    I'm a nervous person too. Everything makes me anxious and nervous and scared. But when I was finally in his arms and my hand was in his, I was fine(: It felt right and I knew this guy was the one for me.

                      I think that's the way I'll be. He just seems so confident about it and not nervous. ]: I wish I could be that way, but it'll eventually subside

                          I was more nervous that we wouldn't get on when we first met lol Like the chemistry might not be there in person. But it was I'll be closing the distance in 21 days

                          I still get butterflies when I see him for the first time after months apart

                            Just remember now that you'll be together in person it's okay to have silent moments, it's not like talking on the phone where you have to keep up a conversation. You can totally just enjoy being together without constant jabber, it makes it a lot easier than if you burn through a million topics a minute.

                            I remember the first time my SO visited I was so nervous I couldn't sleep like 3 whole days before he came so as soon as we got comfortable enough around each other we both went to cuddle and fell straight to sleep. xD

                              I wasn't too nervous waiting at the airport, I was being entertained watching some guy drive around the airfield chasing after a flock of pigeons in an attempt to scare them off, lol. I wasn't nervous when I first saw him either, I said hi, we hugged, all good. Then we sat down to wait to be picked up. That's when I got really nervous, sitting there across from him, most nervous I've ever been in my life. Had to keep my hands constantly busy spinning around a drink menu thing on the table, surprisingly, it helped. So if you can, keep yourself busy, while you're waiting at the airport, give your hands/mind something to do. Should help.
