Seeing a lady/gentleman for the first time probably involves some degree of nervousness.
Guys at least, get to read reviews and see pictures that at least give us an idea of the lady we'll meet. Ladies may have some back channel reviews, but not usually photos.
So DO you get nervous or more nervous for first time meetings? Do you do anything different to prepare or try to reduce that anxiety? Such as PM'ing or talking on the phone? This, of course, applies to both ladies and gents.
Ladies, how often do you find that you have to calm your new friend down when you first meet? What do you do that works?
And for those who are more social in nature, do you find that meeting the other party in a non BCD setting first helps? Such as a happy hour or even a lunch meeting before hand?
I'm just curious.
