Meeting Net Friends- First Time

[Cupid]

A hug is always a good place to start


The best, and only advice, is RELAX!


You've been talking with this person for a long while, getting to know each other. It will be a shock at first, because no matter how hard you try not to be, humans are visually oriented.


Try not to immediately dwell on her/your physical appearance, voice, and all those other things you haven't had to deal with in your relationship.


Don't greet her like a stranger: a hug is always a good place to start! Get onto the ground you are both familiar with... your words. Bring up an old topic of converstaion, and try to explore some new ground.


In meeting net-friends for the first time, just remember that they are probably as nervous as you are! It's always a shock for me to finally SEE someone I've known "online" for ages, but it will pass quickly.


Enjoy!!



Your fear comes from your expectations


Let go of your expectations - the expectation that she will like you (and the corresponding fear that she won't), and the expectation that you will like her (and the fear that you won't).
