Re: Just stressed and unsure..
If you are planning to meet in May then just take it one step at a time. You may have gotten close through phone and chatting but you won't know them until you actually get to meet them. And even then it will take time. Just think of it as meeting some on-line friends for the first time and try not to have any expectations. Whatever chemistry you may have felt in the electronic relationship, you will feel entirely different when you meet in person. It may be wonderful or not so much. Just relax and enjoy the time of fellowship and meeting other like minded believers. If you can, have someone go with you to the first meeting so you don't feel like you are on display.
A meeting is not a committment. Just remember that they are probably as nervous as you are.

Re: Just stressed and unsure..
Andria,
All I can suggest is "trust your gut".
As Lissa said; take someone with you if possible. Meeting online is quite a bit different than in person.
Remember it's not a commitment. Your just meeting, not getting married in May.
Oh, and I'm not sure I was active when you were last here, but welcome back anyway.

Hi Andria -
I'm new to PM, but I've been a Christian, and a husband and father, for a long time. I agree that when you meet this couple you should take a friend with you. Meeting people face to face is often scary. Relax and pray about it. Remember that a meeting is not a commitment. If they do push for a commitment then and there, the best option would probably be to turn and walk away. The coolest thing about being Christian is that we often feel we've wandered far from Him, only to turn and find He's right there. He is always faithful and true. I will include you in my prayers.
