Topic: Some Serious Advice Needed...

Not really sure nor do I really care who gives me advice..
..but I need some outside insight because, well, quite frankly.. my own advice sucks when I try to follow it. laugh

I'll try to keep this short, tho, any who know me..
That's usually a task in itself..

Here goes:

Most of you know, I joined Mingle on 10/10 of this year.
Haven't been here long, but I'd like to think I've made a slim impact on some people..

Well, one of those people I made an impact on was a woman, who ironically, joined the same day as I did. Not sure exactly how we found each other, but that's irrelevant.

Brief ideas about her:

She's sweet, charming, makes me laugh, she's a great mother and could be as well to my own little army, she's also beautiful maybe not to everyone but definitely in my eyes..
She's everything I could have ever dreamed of..

So, with that said..
To my actual question..

We are planning to meet for the first time..
I've never met anyone from the internet in my entire life..

Aside from trying to remain myself..

How do I make a positive first impression?
Is there anything extra I can do to sway her?

I really like her alot..
I want things to work out..
But I'm so effing nervous cuz I've never done this before..

So please.. anything I should know tell me!!!
tears shocked scared

Simple: be your self, as she was clearly attracted to that, otherwise she would not have agreed to meet you...

Then also, it is expected that she is a "little" nervous her self...

Take a walk first, calms the nerves and you do not have to look at each other to much, which means, if needed, you can "hide" your nervousness.

As you talk, both of you should calm down a little and can actually enjoy the excitement.

Be honest and your self, that is all.

We all know butterflies (so I hope) and we all have a goal, namely finding the right one.

Sounds easy ?

It is, as it is the most natural thing in the world - to be nervous and still exited to meet each other...

And if you are not used to "smalltalk" think of 5 open ended questions (answer can not be yes or no) you can ask about her, as she is the center of your attention...

I guess that if she does similar, you will be engaged in a conversation which lets you forget the rest before you know it !

Do not try to impress or give a "good impression" as you will be too occupied with that then what is really of importance: she...

The hardest step is done, agree to meet...

The rest is chemistry and all will fall into place even if all goes wrong, if you two are meant to be...

Like everyone else said, she must like you, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to meet. Just relax and get to know her, no pressure. I hope it works out for you, you seem like a nice guy, I hope you find what you want.drinker

Oh yeah, one more thing, make sure you view each other on cam first, take it from me, there's not much worse than seeing that "extra special person" when you were expecting something else....
