Alright, so I met a girl online. On Facebook, specifically. We started talking about a year ago now, and she is one year younger than I am, attending the same high school I attended, and graduating as valedictorian.
She also happens to attending the same college I am this fall.
So my question is: How can I make meeting her less awkward? We've talked a lot, and shared a lot with one another, and I just get really nervous when I imagine meeting her face to face, mostly because I know shes going to be different than what I pictured in my head.
I also like her, and am pretty sure she likes me, but I am just not sure how to proceed with the relationship. I'm kind of afraid that I'll disappoint her. Fall short of her expectations or something. I've never met someone in real life that I've met online.
I don't know...it can kinda go the other way depending on how well you know her. I first started talking to my current gf on msn, for a good...3-4 years. When we met it wasn't awkward at all.
While you've talked for hours and hours and know a lot more than most people who just met each other I'm sure.. when you meet take it like you're meeting a new person.
Interpret body language, make jokes, and most most most importantly smile a lot! Show her you're happy to be around her. Don't second guess yourself, I'm sure she's nervous too - especially it's her first year at college. She's probably happy to have you there as an island of familiarity in a place that's new.
I met my boyfriend on the interwebz (this forum actually), and when we met it wasn't awkward for us at all. Just be yourself. Since you've already talked a bunch, go see a movie. If you're nervous, that'll give you time where you don't HAVE to talk (though my boyfriend and I kind of talked through it, commenting on things in the movie anyway), and it'll give you something to talk about when it's done.
If you attended the same high school and you've only been out for a year you should have a lot to talk about.
She's probably not looking for someone who's Superman + James Bond + Dirk Diggler or whatever. She probably just wants a boyfriend who's fun to be around and easygoing and doesn't cause too much drama. Don't think you have to hold yourself to some crazy impossible standard or this chick won't be interested in you anymore.
Invite girl for coffee to 'chat'.
In the meantime, master undoing a bra with one hand outside a shirt.
When she shows up, impress her with your mad skillz.
You should be getting exponential levels of poon in no time.

Wait... she goes to your highschool and you've not met her? Did you hide in your locker for 4 years?
You WILL lose contact with her if you don't meet her in person soon. College is very enveloping, and it's hard to make time for internet friends when real life friends have booze, games, study nights, food gatherings, social events, club meetings, etc.
You've broken the ice long ago, and now the internet mask is becoming a crutch. I'm all about using the internet to meet girls, but you've dragged this out much longer than you should have.
Just ask her if she wants to go do something. It could be anything. You can call it a date if you want or if you don't have the confidence just do it as friends and see where the flirting takes you.
Have you seen pictures of her (normal pictures, mind you)?

2. Yes, I've seen normal pictures of her, and she has seen normal pictures of me. She's also seen a video I uploaded to Facebook, which shows me talking for a few minutes.
3. And yeah, our high school has 3500+ kids attending. Factor in the year difference, plus us being in completely different programs (and therefore classes), and its not surprising we haven't met.
Yeah, I guess I'm just building this up too much. Just gotta go with the flow.

Don't worry about it so much, she probably feels the same about you. :P
Lame advice, but just be yourself.

Have you talked on the phone?
"Son. Let women figure out why they won't screw you, don't do it for them."
hahaha this is good.
Check out my art! Buy some prints!

Cyan'd for (hopefully) sarcasm.

I don't see whats surprising about this if shes in a different year especially considering some high schools have over 3 thousand people attending.
just be like, hey, nice to meet you, what do you think of this campus so far, blah blah blah.
just don't expect anything from it right away. be normal.
