Meeting someone for the first time - how can I avoid being nervous?

I recently went on to an online classifieds website (like gumtree) and asked for a friend who would be able to hang out with and teach me another language.

Now im meeting them tomorrow, and i only know their name and their gender. I'm really nervous going into this and its really bothering me. Luckily we're meeting at some open area so nothing funny should happen. I'm just wondering how i can not be nervous. Sorry for asking such a lame question. The more i type about it the more stupid i find myself! HAHA!!

The less you know about him/her the more "nervous" you will feel, because the risl factor is greater. Tough to trust the unknown. If you can delay til you know more, it would be advisable. gender and name isnt much. You don't even know their age? Where they're from what they do for work? Feel free to back off and wait til you feel more comfortable. I have met two people who I've met online but I knew almost EVERYTHING about them before we met. Trust me...wait.

There is nothing much you can do. Just take a breath and be yourself.

If it doesn't work out then there will always be many many others.

Good Luck!! xx
