About to meet

Ok, so I am going to meet the guy that I have been talking to for 4.5 months in a few weeks. We met on a dating site and began talking in Jan, and we have talked everyday since, and I am nervous, also excited, about meeting him. I am just scared that I have created something in my mind that is not there, or that he will be disappointed when he meets me. I am sure that this is just natural apprehenshion that I am experiencing. Is there anyone else who has been in a similar situation that can offer some advice? Also, what are good things to do, just like going for coffee or something? Thanks!:)

Yes, that's a valid concern. You need to keep firmly in mind that despite the frequent talks, this man is a STRANGER to you, and you need to treat him as such.

Why did it take so long for the two of you to decide to meet?

We both would have loved to have met sooner, and probably would have met within the first month, but I live in Philadelphia and he lives in Los Angeles. We are meeting in June because I will be moving to CA and that time.

BTW: I am not moving there because of him. I grew up there and all of my family is there, just to clear things up:)
