Meeting for the First Time

umbraticalba
I'm meeting bf for the first time next week and I'm super excited and nervous. I've first met him by chance when I was jumping around in Discord servers and gradually fell head over heels for him. I am going to be spending a long weekend at his house which is kind of scandalous lol... But thing is, this is like my first time going into a different state and actually going on a date and sleeping over at a guy's house and well, doing anything with a guy. Like, what do I do? What do I not do? What do I even bring? I did buy him a gift already tho, nothing extravagant. But I'm at a lost with being a romantic in person... I'm really too shy and quiet to do anything. And I'm pretty sure he won't push me into anything I don't want to do. Which brings me back to my first question lol. Any advice or tips are very appreciated.

Well you just need to try and relax and hang out. I bet he's thinking the same things and isn't sure what to do either so you'll both be a bit awkward. I've traveled to meet my first gf and we just hung out basically. But we were with her family the whole time so we couldn't get too close.

In terms of what you shouldn't do: Be very adamant that he knows your boundaries if it looks like he's going to cross them. Some people act like their online selves offline, but some people also seem completely different. I want to be clear how important it is that you recognize the risks of meeting someone offline for the first time. It can be a positive life-changing moment, but it can also wake you up to other harsher realities. This works both in the short term and the long term, especially as your first time being with a guy. THAT SAID, I say to be cautious and have your guard up, but definitely, definitely have fun. There are no rules aside from the fact that you'll be his guest and you should respect his household. Just be confident in what you want to do and do not want to do, and you'll be fine. ^^

There's nothing you can do about the anxiety and nervousness at the beginning. That will go away on its own in time tho. However, for advice... just make sure people know what you're doing and where you are. Friends and family. Don't make this a covert operation! edit: Also, Juno's post is spot on, especially the first part.

Awe! I suggest not overthinking it and trying relaxing. It's going to be awkward at first, but try take things slow. Also, plan a schedule on what your going to do once you get there such as maybe taking a walk around the neighborhood or go to a movie! But make sure your family or friends know where your going. I really hope everything works out!!

Make yourself at home, go with the flow, and as someone who has spent the night at several female dorms, rooms, and houses, Just focus on having fun, not trying to get something out of the situation. I feel laughing together with someone really helps them overcome shyness and anxiety.
