Any other guys get this problem?

I get loads of girls liking me after i speak to them for a while on msn and see them in real life and what have you, but when they suggest meeting up i got all nervous and anxious about what they will think of me and i always think ill dissappoint whatever they thought i'd be like.Because of this i usually make the excuses even if i really want to meet them too, the only time im comfortable is when ive had abit of booze down me so im alot more confident.

Anyone else have this problem?

i think everyone gets nervous about meeting the opposite sex. theres not really any advice i can give other than bite the bullet and just go for it. you need to push yourself and once youve done it once it will probably become easier.
plus dont forget they want to meet you, you must be doing something right :smile:

oh yes mate, always kicking myself about it to, don't worry, just find the perfect opportunity, and try it.

confidence is the key, I would build it through face to face.

By the way,do make sure they are who they say they are.

meeting them in real life first would mean none of this potential awkwardness..

everyone gets nervous meeting up with a potential romancey person. the only way to overcome it is to force yourself to do it. she'll be nervous too. and if she writes you off on the first date because you're a bit scared then she's not worth bothering with!

I'm sure the girls that want to meet you,will also be different in real life......

You don't always have to meet one on one,you could just say that you'll be out and about on Friday night with your friends and if she's free she can text you and meet up in a bar/club.

its always nervewrecking meeting someone in real life after you've gotten to know them on the internet.. cause theres always gona be that feeling of 'will they be disappointed? will they be expecting something better?' etc. just go for it is my advice. if they like you then great, and if they dont then.. at least you know and can stop talking to them! but its better meeting people in real life first :smile:
