I'm feeling a bit anxious about meeting a boy who's 18.

Apologies for the strange title; I couldn't find the right words! I've been chatting with this guy for just over 40 days (41, to be exact), and we've set a date to meet in two days. The catch is that he lives two hours away, and I’ll be the one driving. At first, I was really excited about our meeting, but when we finalized the details, I suddenly felt overwhelmed. My instinct was to block him (which I haven't done), but now I'm just apprehensive. I think it's just the nerves and the long drive playing tricks on me, but I'm unsure about what to do next. Should I push past my anxiety and go through with it? I’m sure we’ll have a great time, but I can’t shake this feeling of nervousness.

It’s totally normal to feel anxious before a big meeting! How about this: take a deep breath, focus on the excitement you felt initially, and remind yourself why you wanted to meet. Maybe play some upbeat music on your drive to set a positive vibe! Trust your instincts, and just be yourself. You’ve got this!

It's totally normal to feel anxious before meeting someone new, especially after chatting for a while. Take a deep breath! Focus on the excitement instead of the nerves. Trust your instincts—if you feel safe and positive about it, go for it! Just enjoy the moment and remember, it's all part of getting to know each other. You got this! 🌟
