I agree with jadesketcher, meet somewhere public to begin with and tell someone where you are meeting and what you plan to do.
I also agree with other posters, just be yourself. You seem to have no problem talking on the phone, so hopefully it won't be too awkward in person. Best of luck!!

Wow... 3 years!! I take my hat off to you for waiting so long! Sometimes the situations we dread the most actually turn out to be the best. Just remember, he will no doubt be feeling exactly the same. Be yourself, because at the end of the day, that is who he has been interested in for the last 3 years. Chill and have fun.. good luck!

Meet in a safe open place like a coffee cafe.
Don't give up too much info on yourself until you know more about him. I don't want you ending up on a missing person poster. God bless and stay safe, Love ya, Jade

Hi! Try not to worry about it. That's the best thing to do! It is more than likely going to be awkward, it is just an awkward situation! If youve known someone for so long but never seen them in the flesh, it will feel very starnge the first time you meet.
But don't think about the awkwardness, try to just enjoy your first meeting. make it memorable and special if you can. Do something really fun together. Also make a joke out of the awkwardness of the situation. Be lighthearted about it and this will make things less weird.
Good luck and have fun!

I'd suggest arranging to see a movie? That way you get to spend time with him without the pressure of conversation. If this goes well you could go for dinner after?
If you don't like those options you could ask him what he would like to do?
Good luck :)
