I've experienced meeting someone in person who I previously only talked to over the internet and a couple times on the phone.

Each new experience for me was very nerve-racking. I don't know why, exactly, especially when the person I met said she would call me. Who knows why humans react the way we do?

As for meeting in person, the meeting was to take place at sort of the half-way point between where we live, (Niagara Falls). We were supposed to meet there sometime around 1 in the morning. But my friend and I decided we could go to the Cleveland Indians game before. It was a great game, in which our team came back from a 9-1 score to win. But if you know anything about baseball, the more runs that are scored, the longer the game takes. So I was real nervous going up to meet this girl. We had only the address of a bus station to go by trying to find her and her friend....and we ended up getting there at 3 in the morning. They were kind of just sitting on this bench... I felt so bad that they were waiting so long....and it was just... very surreal.

It ended up being a great time, the 4 of us just hung out like we'd been friends for years.... I hope your experience is just as enjoyable...(except I wouldn't recommend making your friend wait at a bus station in the middle of the night for 2 hours!)

Good luck!
