As someone who flew over 3000 miles to see his girlfriend... I can say this.

As long as you are yourself, things will work out the way they are supposed to.

It is nervewracking, but trust me on this, it will be a fun 3 months. That's actually kind of lucky for you, since I have only gotten to spend a short amount of time with my own girl.

But these 3 months will be pretty important for finding out whether a long term relationship is feasible. It's one thing to date over the internet... it's another to live with a person.

Regardless, I wish you luck.

legacyme3 : I am always myself around him, I can't not be.. I've tried that just because I was curious and it didn't work, at all. lol And yes it is very nervewracking.

Like leggy said, I think that you will be just fine. And as for what to do, as long as the weather is good I am sure you can have all kinds of fun, even if it is just showing him around. Remember, what is old hat for you is completely new for him because not only is it a different town, it's a different country.

I advise taking a deep breath and let the happy side of it all take control. It will be an awesome visit, and I hope you two have the best time possible.

Oh yeah I am sure we will have lots of fun and enjoy our time together, I'll be showing him around as much as I can and taking lots of pictures with him. This will be his first time coming to Canada so I want him to enjoy it. But thank you Leggy, and Elara.

I personally could never do a long distance relationship like that but everyone's different.

BTW That's VERY understanding of your mom to let someone come stay with you for 3 months that you and her have never met in real life.

Just not to be too nervous though. As long as you both just act like yourself everything should be fine I mean you have gotten along this well over the computer for so long I would think that you would be able to do something similar in person.

Being in a long distance relationship is actually not as hard as a lot of people think, I thought I wouldn't be able to do it to be honest but I've made it six months so I say I'm doing pretty good. It all comes down to trusting and having faith in yourself and the other person. 
And yes my mother is very understand, I talk to her about pretty much everything so she understand how much I love Ian. Thankfully. 
I am worried about my family around him though, my brother is a friggen idiot and so is my uncle which I live right beside so that part is going to be hard. I'm hoping everything goes as planned and all is well, there isn't much I can do now but wait and see.

My boyfriend traveled from the US to Canada to see me for two weeks the first time we met. So I've been in this situation before. I know the feeling you are describing. Meeting him for the first time was really exciting, and in some ways it made me anxious and scared. But it was wonderful, and he was just like is online... I don't think you have much to worry about seeing as you've been dating for 6 months already.

I recommend going for walks, go to the park or the forest together, go see a movie, go out for dinner, explore your neighborhood.

Then again, you don't really have to be out doing things constantly. During my fiance's second visit to my house, I was perfectly content to sit around at home, make food together, listen to music... Basically just enjoy being with each other in person without any other distractions.

I agree that long distance relationships are not as difficult as some people make them out to be. There's so much more (at least, for me) to a relationship than physical contact. The emotional and intellectual connection is what's truly important to me. Obviously I hate to be apart from my fiance, but by no means does it make loving him impossible.

Sorry iam a newb!! and was thoroughly entertained by this thread...How did it all go? I believe in, you can make what you want of life...So if you both want it to work...it will.

Love to know what happened>?

Gordiniho : It hasn't happened yet, his flight comes in on the 30th around noon my time. So I have no idea how it's gone, not yet anyways lol I''m sure when once he's here my brain will finally stop doing backflips in my skull... which would be fantastic. Today is the day where I go get my hair cut and start cleaning my house before his arrival, one more week to go!

Bless you my fellow Vizzer!! I hope it all goes well! and you get what you want from it all - I would love to know how it goes...Updates needed please
