Wow, I’m Nervous!

Help.

So, I’m going to visit my girlfriend in Ohio over Thanksgiving break. Not only will I be meeting her family for the first time, but I’ll be meeting her for the first time as well!

We have been dating since June and I’ve been looking forward to this since we started dating of course. I’m not going to flake out and not go or anything like that, but is there anyway to ease the nerves. I don’t want to get there and be a stumbling mess, you know?

How do I ease the feeling?

it’s just life, don’t take it too seriously. they are just people. people like all the other people you know. the obviously trust you enough to invite you to their home.

I would suggest a drink of etoh … but, that might be the wrong advice. you could end up drunk and blow the whole thing!

just be yourself. it is normal to be nervous. they already accept you. and also remember that THIS is the most difficult part. this space right now, you’ve committed and now you have to go … the unknown … it’s frightening.

When you get there, it will be different. i will bet you will be at ease.

I know. I know when I’m with her, it will be a relief, but I still have to face her parents on my own and the rest of her family. It’s really stressful, but exciting at the same time.

Yes, and this time right now is the worst. Her parents will try to make you feel at ease. You are invited to their home. If they did not want you there, you would not be invited.

You are WANTED at their home for Thanksgiving Dinner. Relax. You will be fine.

Absolutely. I’m very respectful and honest. I do NOT tolerated men treating women disrepectfully. I won’t pressure her into situations where she feels uncomfortable or unsafe. I’ve spoken many many times with her parents and we get along just fine. Her mom loves me. Hell, I even text her mom during the day. Lol.
