First encounter and general confusion

You obviously want to make the best possible impression when you first meet in a long-distance relationship. A word of advice: be natural! Do not dress in your 31 if you are scruffy the rest of the time. Of course, a little styling effort doesn’t hurt , but you don’t have to dress up either. Don’t overuse make-up or artifice. Stay as natural in your way of being : do not try to be someone you are not , and keep the same character as in normal times. After all, it’s the character your partner has come to love!
Virtual love, real feelings
So do n’t put too much pressure on yourself for this first meeting .

Go for a walk in town , or go home to share a hearty breakfast after the trip. And your love, “virtual” at first, will soon resurface.
