Need some advice : What's the best thing to do......

haha ^_^ NO matter how much the 2 of u like each other, just a hand shake or maybe hug will do.. But a kiss, may scared him away.. hehe ^_^ 1st dates are often exciting, and i guess he should have planned some programmes after meeting ^_^ hehe.. BUt are u meeting alone?? it's always best to play safe by meeting in a crowded place too ^_^

A hand shake or hug would do in the first meeting. Spend more time and try to figure out what you both want. All it takes is a little time and effort to find comfort in each other's company. After finding that comfort, you can pretty much do what ever suits you. Well, that was based from my experience that is. I don't usually try to do something intimate the first time even if we like each other. ^^

i thik start with handshake. i have a feeling not all the person you meet online, are so nice in real life. i am not discouraging you. so be alart before committing. May be at good bye time you can give ahug. see how things go.

well if you already know his face then it wouldn't be that edgy once you meet. but i guess you couldn't really throw away the excitement you'll feel, i've been there too and the shaking of your hands or the beating of your heart is really like normal but just try to act normal. do not overdo things. say what you want to say and answer questions like you're talking to an old friend. and don't forget to smile. that's a plus and he would feel at ease with you if you're smiling because he'll think that you're glad he's with you.

LOL! Ahhhh this brings back memories. This is how I met my husband. Only I didn't get to fret about a meeting, he called me out of the blue one day and asked if I could get away for a few minutes...he was in town and YOU BET I could get away! When I saw him, I have to admit, I practically ran into his arms. We hugged and talked, and it did lead to a kiss. Or three. ;) You do what you feel comfortable with. You may not even know what you're comfortable with until you actually see him. For me, it was like seeing someone I'd known and waited for for lifetimes. Good luck to you!

I have gone through this several times, and it is the most exciting and scary situation all at the same time. I think it depends on your online relationship, and his reaction to seeing you for the first time for how you should react. If you are close, a kiss on the cheek or a hug is appropriate. I am guessing that if you weren't close, you probably would not be meeting him, so a handshake probabvly will not do. Take is slowly and be safe about it. Make sure you are meeting in a public place, know where the exits are and keep your next few meetings in territory that you are very familiar and comfortable with. Good luck!

Internet is the best place to interact with many people online. But, its not the safe one. Knowing the person online is never the same as knowing him personally. In ur first meeting, give him the best impression you can. Dont go for a kiss which is not a suggestible thing most of the times.Know him the best before giving him a chance. In ur talk, u will be planning wat to do next. So, dont worry abt it now.

Well the best way to start is with a handshake. U can talk to each other as it would help you in understanding his intension's as well as how he would behave in real world and not on virtual. As anything said in virtual world may not apply in reality.

Hi there. I think a handshake will do. A kiss and hug can come later when you guys are more sure of each other. You have not seen him face to face before so I don't think you can be 100% sure you will still like him after you see him. Sometimes, a person can behave quite differently virtually. He might turn out worse or nicer in real life. Let's hope he is the guy you imagine him to be. Good luck

i would give him a big hug and say How are you, did you have any trouble getting here. you have been talking to him over the internet for a year so you should not have any problems talking now to him. it willall go very smoothly I am sure.

a hug is fine.... thats what happened to me before although through the course of the evening, we were flirting already and...... you know what happened next. but I'm happy to say that we are now 8 years married and we have 3 wonderful kids.

A kiss? It is only exists between lovers in our country. Maybe it is different about the custom in your country. I still remember the first time several years ago when i met my friend who i knew on line. I thought there is love between us before we met face to face.But this feeling disappeared soon and i realized there was no love but friendship . We had lunch together and went to fly a kite in a park . It was embarressed for me to have a talk face to face.

Maybe we are more conservative over here, so most probably we would just greet with a handshake. ANd do meet in a public place - just be careful. Have fun, and let us know how it goes!

A hug would be fine it says "Awh its great to finally meet you and I feel something for you that also depends on how passionate you make the hug.

Desierra1004, Relax..relax take a deep breath and exhale. LOLAs long as he is a human, you don't have to be scare and eliminate "what if" on your toughs. Enough worrying. What happen will happen. And the first meeting, is enough with a warm handshake! Good luck my dear! OoXx~dian

most important thing, meet him at a public place that always has ppl around. even if you feel like you can trust him, just dont hand him the opportunity to turn out to be a bad guy you know? just smart to be safe. i would give him a hug, a handshake is a bit formal considering you've been talking to him for a year, and like you said, a kiss might be a bit forward if he doesnt feel the same way. if you've been romantically inclined in your conversations a light kiss might be just fine, but if you've just been talking like friends, then i wouldnt give anything more than a hug.
