Long Distance Relationship help please?

[xPowder Blu Lolipopzx]

I don't really need help, so much as just some re assuring words.
I'll be meeting my boyfriend of 17 months on thursday
He'll be crashing at my place for 2 weeks
And I'm really really nervous
I'm anxious, and self conscious, and worried, and BLAAH'

EDIT: Incase you're wondering I didn't randomly meet him online
A friend of mine that used to go to school with me moved across the country
and met him at her new school
she thought we'd get along so she gave him my screan name
but even from the start we mostly talked on the phone
so we talk on the phone, web cam, pics, send stuff in the mail
as far as knowing he's really who he says he is, i'm good.

I just need some calming words..please?

Hello there,

Well I understand that your anious and all that but you don't need to be nervous or worried. Just when he comes threw your house doors you can hug him to death and tell him how much you miss him and love him. Then offer him to sit on ur sofa and watch some romantic movie together and cuddle with him, and ask him how was it when he was gone for 17 months.

or before he gets to ur house make a specail dinner for the to of you and after your done go to your room and do romantic things together does that help?

awwwwwwwww.
Don't worry. It will probably be alright. Just make sure you are safe if you have never met him before.
And you will probably be nervous at first, but the longer you are in each other's company, the easier it will get. n_n I went through this same thing, and my boyfriend and I were both so nervous, we didn't say anything, just hugged .. for HOURS. But it was a nice kind of excited nervous.

Be careful. I know you've been going out for a while but you don't know all his habits in person. You're bound to see a few of them, even in two weeks. Consider that some day you could be staying in a home together, evaluate how you feel about the things he does.

That being said, if he really loves you, he's not going to care what you look like as long as you're groomed. I met my first boyfriend after 2-3 months of dating him. It was nerve wrecking! Just take it slow, you don't need to jump right into physical attention if it makes you nervous. Simply ask him to let you get used to the fact that he's there. If he's wanting to be with you, he'll be willing to respect your requests.

I met my (then) boyfriend four or five months after we started talking. It was kind of awkward, because the distance inevitably robs you of some aspects of a relationship, but we got along just fine. If you're anything like we were, you've talked to your boyfriend constantly, you know his voice, his expressions, his reactions... you know who he is, you're just not used to being able to touch him. That's something you should be excited about - concentrate on that kind of nervous instead! Of course he knows you and is in the same boat as you, so he'll probably be nervous, too. Seventeen months is a long time. Don't psyche yourself out - just have fun! This is an opportunity, not an obstacle razz

If it's anything like when my friend met his online girlfriend of four years, it'll be a really happy visit. He'll most likely be nervous, as well. Just remember that he's your boyfriend, and that he loves you. There's really nothing to be afraid of.

Go you?

I remember when I first met my boyfriend in person. We had only been together a month xD. I told him I was going to pick him up from the station (he's in Los Angeles, I'm in Las Vegas, no point in wasting a plane ticket). Instead, he headed straight to my house in a taxi.

He didn't know if I was a 50-year-old man with a girly voice who was planning on knocking him out and then dragging him to a private property where I would turn his genitals in wind-chimes (waiting for Michael Jackson jokes) or really what I had told him which was a then 18-year-old with a bit of an issue with setting s**t on fire by "accident". I ended up not being the crazy old man, so he was fine. Been a year now and I wake his a** up almost everyday for work and plan to move closer to him sometime this month hopefully. (or next)

Don't do what my boyfriend did XP. Meet him in a public place, and don't do too much extravagant s**t. Otherwise, you're just going to give him a false impression of your everyday life. Whenever I go see my boyfriend by myself we just end up hanging out in the hotel room and I end up making him food while he's relaxing from work. Just normal routine things and one day special. When I take my family though, they always make sure we end up going to like 9 million places while he still has to go to work the next day. See? Big difference. Do something special, but don't forget to get to know the normal sides of each other.

As for words on encouragement, it'll come out a little weird. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Just in case, make sure you both have your phones near each other at all times in case the cops need to come by and ward off the weirdness. After the first time, you'll likely begin to get into the habit of seeing each other regularly like I did with my boyfriend.

I felt the same way when my boyfriend first came out here to visit me. When you meet him make sure you are in a public place. I would also recommend having a friend come with you. It might be a little awkward at first but just relax and be yourself.

i've been dating my boyfriend for 3 years in an LDR and i still get nervous when he comes home to visit.

Oh, I didn't randomly meet him online or anything I'll post it in the OP

Bump~

Its good that you're anxious, you dont have to be worried at all. You've talked to him on the phone, IM's, you've seen him and whatnot. If you do feel like you're getting scared just think of it as talking to his picture and work up from there. If you cant look eye to eye then think like you was talking through a clear phone.
