Stupidly feeling nervous

[Bertha1924]

I’ve managed to make contact with my first teenage love from 50 years ago and we’ve been chatting through Messenger. We are both single now and planning to meet up soon to catch up and go over old times. I know it’s ridiculous to feel nervous but obviously I look nothing like I did then (and he won’t either) but I’m dreading the initial look on his face when we first meet. I’m really looking forward to seeing him again but would like to feel more confident. Any ideas on how I can do this?

Ask to exchange photos before meet up so you are both prepared for the changes.Just say you are so excited to see what he looks like these days, can you exchange photos. I hope it works out.
I saw my first love recently on a webpage where he works. He was so heartstoppingly handsome in his 20s, I could believe what he looked like, teeth- trouble, sunken face, smokers pall and bald. Me? I look just the same of course!
