If you have been dating an overseas girl online, meeting her in person is one of the most exciting things to anticipate.

Exciting and anxiety-inducing.

After all, if you’ve been seeing this person for a long time and have only decided to go and meet her in real life, of course you have some worries. Trying to establish and build a legitimate relationship isn’t something so easily done by just showing up. Talking to them online and talking to them in real life aren’t the same, as the human factor increases exponentially.

You have your expectations and your partner has hers. But remember, it’s a process.

You’re meeting your potential wife, not a business partner. And maybe for some that’s a little more nerve-wracking, but at least it’s a more enjoyable experience than business.

She’s meeting YOU as well.

You aren’t the only one that’s nervous about your meetup. You might be out to meet a foreign girl who got interested in you online, but remember that she is meeting a man from the west and any ideas she has about you are from movies that stereotype everything.

It’s nerve-wracking for the both of you. You’re both just two human beings trying to find a partner overseas so relax. You are both like-minded here. Ease up on being nervous and just make sure you’re being your true self when you meet her.

Don’t pretend to be something you’re not

If you don’t want to screw things up early, you shouldn’t “catfish”. Don’t be someone you’re not in hopes of impressing her. Not only will she be able to see right through you as soon as you two start to talk, your facade will also quickly crash down in the long run.

After all, you won’t be able to keep that up forever, especially if you two are going to stay together for a long-term relationship.

If she adores you for who you are, then you know she’s a keeper.

She might not be who you think she is.

Depending on the situation, this could either be bad or good.

On one hand, she could be the one catfishing you. She might not be the person you thought she was while you two were talking online. A lot of people pretend to be who they aren’t on the internet since it’s easy to do. If she isn’t, you should still be prepared.

While on the other, she could surprise you by being an even better person than you thought she was. Or maybe she could be the unexpected change that you didn’t know you needed in your life until you met her. It’s all really up in the air. Love is like that.

The good news: Most dating sites have their women thoroughly registered and investigated. What you see in the photo is sometimes what you get (minus the filter, of course). If they have any questionable background or criminal record, then that is usually made transparent. This goes the same for you, of course.
