Hello everyone, new member here~ This is my first post on LFAD.
My SO and I first met around July last year playing the same online game. We (among others) frequently hung out on the same voice chat server and before we knew it people started to ship us. I didn't really believe in meeting people online back then so I didn't really respond to it or maybe I was just being oblivious. Either way, for at least a good three months our group spent almost every night together discussing both game and non-game-related topics and eventually she started to flirt with me. But being kind of a slowpoke it took me until Christmas to realize that I liked her more than a friend and it wasn't until mid January that we confessed to each other even though we've clearly liked each other for a while already.
Long story short, ever since we've been in contact almost every waking second of our lives via texts, voice chat and Google+ Hangouts and we're going to meet each other at the US East Coast this summer, just in time for our dating anniversary (even though it's very hard to put a date on it). We're both incredibly anxious and excited about this, especially since none of us has been traveling alone before. I haven't even been to the US before and I'm not exactly sure what to expect honestly. In fact I've heard quite a few horror stories about nitpicky American customs officers...
We're most likely going to spend two weeks in Boston, MA, a city neither of us has been to before. We thought that exploring a new city together, away from friends and families, would be a proper way to celebrate our first time meeting in person.
Now to my actual question: Should we go any further than that?
By that time we'll have been dating for almost a year and who knows how long it will be before we can organize another meeting. If the meeting goes really well I might consider attending a college in the states so I feel like I should learn as much about her as I can before taking such a major step. I'm debating whether - before my return to Germany - we should travel back to her hometown together and possibly introduce me to her family and friends as well.
I think that's pretty much it for now.
Do these plans sound reasonable or are we being overconfident? Looking forward to your opinions.
See you around~ Perhaps I'll be coming here more often now.
