First Date Shyness
I have recently met a girl through online dating. We’ve been sending messages for while and now want to meet up this weekend on our first date. The chats we’ve been having are casual but flirty and now I’m afraid I won’t live up to her expectations. I’m shy when I first meet people, I’ve always been more confident sending messages and writing, than face to face. Would like to hear from anybody else going through same personal experience.

Don’t worry about it.
She’s probably just as nervous as you, it’s a first date, everyone is nervous on first dates
You’ve connected with her through your messages online so I’m sure you’ll both be fine.
Maybe try something funny to talk about to break the ice. Mention things from your messages that you’ve talked about. Catch up on recent current news stories, just in case they come up in conversation, be prepared.
And the biggest tip? Be yourself and have fun
You can’t be that different on the computer than in real life. Chances are things will be fine – I bet she’s just as nervous as you. Just try to be yourself like you are on the computer.
Just try to be yourself and to feel at ease. I know it’s easier said than done but you will feel fine once you start talking. Good luck! x
Once you get past the first half hour you should be ok. It’s the nerves that are the worst, go somewhere you can talk but that has music in the background so that can be used to start a conversation if it dries up. Just because you’re shy in person and confident on computer doesn’t mean you won’t live up to her expectations. You will both be a bit shy when you first meet, just try to relax and above all enjoy yourself. Remember you’ve done the hardest bit and she likes you already because she’s agreed to meet you. GOOD LUCK!!
