    well that part could be taken two ways -im taking it to mean its the first date with the same guy in a while when posting this. If im wrong ill edit later accordingly ;) . As youve already met the guy before you dont have to worry about makeing a good first impression! I know it sounds cliche but its true -be yourself and youll be fine.

    Best of luck
    :)

    Actually i have never met him. we chatted on an online date site. I always vowed never to go down that road but he does seem very nice. Just worried cos he has a masters degree and has travelled alot whereas i just went to college and havent travelled much. i think the 1st few minutes will be the worse, how do u greet,do u hug or what!!??

    Don't be nervous.If you think it's gonna be akward,then it will!Relax before you meet up!
    Don't play on your unexperiences of travel or whatever.
    Play on your good points.
    Talk about stuff you know alot about!
    And when he's talking about something you don't know alot about,just listen.Don't get embarresed.

    As for greeting,
    it all depends on how comfortable you feel with him.
    If very comfortable give him a quick hug.
    But I always find a nice handshake is good with meeting someone new,whether on a date or just someone you've meet in town,pub etc..
