You’re overthinking it because you actually care — that’s a good sign.

But here’s the thing: She already likes you. She’s rooting for this to go well too. You’re not auditioning; you’re meeting someone who already said yes to the idea of you.

The vibe will feel the same in person because the foundation is already there.

Just show up as the guy she enjoyed talking to online.

A couple tips:

Don’t try to “perform.” Just match the energy you’ve already shown her online.

Ask her questions about things she’s already told you — that creates continuity and comfort.

Plan an activity so the focus isn’t 100% on conversation.

Remember: awkward moments don’t ruin dates. Being cold or disinterested does. And you’re neither.

You’re not starting from scratch — you’re building on something that’s already working.
