    Nerves are getting to me today.

    Help. The nerves are really getting to me today!!!

    I have 34 days left before I travel to USA to meet my lover for the first time. I am so scared that I'm gonna be too nervous and not be my normal chatty self!

    What if he doesn't like me? I'm bound to have bad skin just before I travel. I don't sleep well in strange places and I'm going to stay with my sister near London the night before my flight so I'm gonna look like a zombie. I get a rash when I get nervous and I know it's gonna flare up. I'm looking forward to this so much but it's been a tremendously long wait for us both, I just really don't want to be a disappointment to him!

    Are these feeling normal? I'm so freaking scared!!!! I love this guy to death, I hope I don't end up being a huge let down...

    Your feelings are normal. Of course you want to make a good first impression, and you will, so try not to worry too much about it.
    You could show up with the worst skin of your life, under eye bags down to the floor, zombie breath, and wild hair, and he'll still be thrilled to finally get to see you in person and spend some much-needed time with you. You're not going to disappoint him at all.

      It's so hard though. I can see me being a right pain in the bum over the next few weeks haha!

        The more you worry, the more likely you're going to let something silly like rash ruin your whole trip. Think of this whole trip as a "take what happens and run with it" trip. Most of those things you can't do anything to fix so there is no reason to worry. It is what it is and you have to be prepared to brush off those silly things in light of what is actually happening: you're meeting your SO!!! Don't let this amazing, special time be overshadowed by the few things that are bound to go wrong (not to be negative, but the best plans are often the ones the go the most wrong). Try to appreciate the experience for what it is and go with the flow as much as possible and it'll be an amazing trip!

          Perfectly normal. . And I bet he is going through the same feelings. Our first visit after we started our ldr, we both freaked out cuz we both didn't think the other would still feel the same. Relax, enjoy....and if he sees you at your worst, it will only get better! Xo

            Yep. First visits are scary. We've all be there. But it soooo worth it!
            It'll be ok, just keep busy and distracted. Focus on the positives.

              Technically, it's the first time you are meeting "in person". But you've skyped, right? Talked on the phone? The only difference now is you will be 3D. Relax and enjoy......he will love you!

                Yes we FaceTime at least 3 times a week, speak on the phone daily and text a lot.

                I'm still hideously nervous though!!! This is huge thing for both of us.

                  I was a nervous wreck coming off the flight and going onto the greyhound that first time. I broke out in huge zits one of which was right on my cheek and couldn't be hidden. It happens. I bet you if you tell him how nervous you are he is probably just as nervous as you. It'll be fine, it's easier said than done to tell you to calm down because everyone said it to me and I didn't sleep for 3 days strait when I went the first time (the night before and then on the flight and bus). But it was perfect. I hope my experience can help ease things a little but I really would just tell him how nervous you are, my boyfriend told me he was nervous to and that helped a little.

                    Looks like we're both going from the UK to America the same week, ha! I'm starting to feel the same, but I'm sure she's getting the jitters too. At the end of the day, you have to focus on the fact that you're finally meeting them! Once you're both in front of each other, none of that will matter, because you've both waited so long, it'll be the last thing on their mind.

                              Unicorn your flight is so easy! Hahaa. Birmingham → New York → Pheonix → Salt Lake City. I leave at 8:45 UK time (1:45 her time), and get there 7:30pm local time. Kill me now, haha.
