18 Okay, How Do We Plan A First Meeting? How Do We Plan A First Meeting?
I recommend picking a safe, neutral spot, and just sitting down
over coffee, or perhaps light dinner at a casual restaurant.
Emphasize that your first meeting will be for just that, MEETING.
Don't expect much more than that you'll sit down, get used to what
the other person looks like, maybe have a bite to eat, then go home.
For guys, you may want to invite her to bring along a friend. This
will make her feel safer. The point is, make it somewhere public,
safe, and neutral, and done in such a way that either one of you can
bow out gracefully if things aren't going well.
And if it doesn't work out, or the other person decides at the last
minute not to meet you, hey, that's okay! It happens to practically
everyone! And who on Earth said you're the perfect someone for
everyone you meet anyway? Who said that everyone you meet is the
perfect someone for you? At minimum, you should have made a new
friend this way; maybe more will develop, or maybe it won't. Stay
calm, don't expect much, but be open to whatever might happen. And,
enjoy your new friend!
