The Lincoln meet is fast approaching and I have my name down to go but now I have started with the worrying! LOL I know at my age I should know better but what if nobody likes me?????? Its all very well chatting on here but when I get nervous I tend to be a bit brash and put people off. Does anyone else get nervous? Julie xxx

I was very nervous before going to my first meet, but it was fine, and I'm absolutely, 100% positive that you'll be fine. Unless you're completely different in real life to how you are on here.

Yes Yes Yes my first proper one yesterday but was very good, ok I had met Jess, Gwynne and Iz before but not Sheila, Claire or Christine. You will be fine, arrange to meet someone outside or nearby and go together. Enjoy

Of course we do Julie! It's only natural But I have never been to a meet yet where I haven't got along with everyone and had a thoroughly good time. Then I wonder what all the fuss was about! LOL

Yes Julie. I've not been to a meet yet, but I know that if I do ever get to go to one I shall be very nervous - like you, in case people don't like me. Stella

Most of the people I've met I know from on the boards so I wasn't nervous. I was worried whether people would find the venue, though. It's lots of fun. But there are one or two people I'd be a bit afraid of meeting .......... lol Gwynne

No, not you, Stella. But there are some people who scare the living s*** out of me from the way they post. I can't deal with aggressive people, I'm an old hippy. Gwynne

Claire - I'm driving up from Berkshire in the morning but not coming back til the Monday - but if you wanna meet somewhere beforehand and come in the car with me you are welcome - I tried to PM you but it wouldn't let me!! ;o( Where do you have to change trains? If Reading is a stop i could collect you from there - will save you time but you'd still need a return ticket!!
