Meeting my online "friend" in person for the first time?

[Shalyn]

We met through a friend and we've talked on Facebook for over a year, and we skype so I know he's real. When I go to meet him, how do I act, dress and whatnot? I might sound stupid for asking this but this is the first time meeting someone online in person for me. He calls me babe, babygirl and stuff like that, he tells me I'm beautiful he tells me he loves me every day like 4 or 5 times a day. So I know it's going to be awkward but how do I handle that? He's confessed to liking me for more than a friend as well.. Serious answers only, please.

Well if he likes you as more than a friend and you don't like him as more than a friend, i would be sure that you're establishing that you're hanging out AS FRIENDS as clearly and as much as possible before the meeting in person so that he is sure to not get the wrong idea about this meeting. if he tries to make any moves or is super flirty or calls you babygirl or anything like that just shut him down nicely (if you don't like him) by reiterating you just want to be friends and not flirting or doing anything to lead him on (don't let him pay for you, touch you, etc.) as for what to wear well if you don't like him as more than a friend then just dress how you would with any friend. wear something that's comfortable and makes you feel good. if i have the wrong impression and you do like him as more than a friend then also wear something comfortable that makes you feel good but maybe a bit dressier than you would for just a casual outing with a friend. and as for your behavior like the other person said just be yourself! you've been talking and skyping with him for a long time so he knows how you are and isn't going to be freaked out by you in person for being yourself. and most importantly, just relax and have fun. i've met some really great friends through the internet who have become great in person friends and it can be a bit strange/awkward at first because you aren't used to hanging out together in person but you'll get over it quickly and it will become normal. i hope this helps, best of luck!
