my bf (m21) and i (f20) met online near the end of 2024. in the early part of 2025 was when we started taking things more seriously. around march. we talked about meeting for a whole year constantlyyy and were finally able to make it happen on the 18th of sep. heres how it went!!

so my bf literally lives over 1000 miles from me, and i don’t have a vehicle atm so he drove allll the way to me. genuinely the sweetest thing someone has done for me. he made it within 2 days.
before he got here, i was soooo nervous. i chugged a beer rq to hopefully calm nerves bc i was very stressed. but surprisingly, as his location started getting closer and closer i wasnt even scared anymore, i just started feeling so excited and relieved.
definitely surreal experience for me, im such a non social person, and very awkward, so the fact my anxiety wasnt even bad is a miracle lol. but just shows how much i love him and wanted to finally see him.
when he pulled up, he called me and i ran outside to hug him. i nearly fell trying to hug him bc i wasnt paying attention lol. but he got me my favorite flowers otw as well!! he got to meet my family and my cats, and then we travelled to our airbnb. it was nearly an hour drive (way worse than we thought while booking) so we just got to talk. tbh i dont remember much of it now. i was just so happy to be sitting next to him. we held hands the wholeee way, and once we finallyyy got there, he opened my door for me (forced me to wait for him to loll i love that man) and then we hugged and he picked me up and we kissed for the first time. then he carried me all around the place, so we could look at everything. then we just cuddled. that night he grilled burgers and we chilled in the hot tub.
we genuinely couldnt stop touching and kissing eachother and smiling ofcc. it was the cutest thing ever.
on the second day, we laud in bed until nearly 2pm just cuddling. then eventually, we got up, got ready, and went to see a movie. while he was driving, he just started crying because he didn’t wanna leave. and it just made me so sad. there were these random moments where i would remember hes only here for a week, and i would get so sad. several times we just cried together about having to be apart again.
on the 6th day, we were going to go to the store. but as soon as we got down the long drive from the airbnb, his car broke down. im still not sure whats wrong, but we were waiting there for like an hour or 2. thankfully, he got it towed to my house, and my mom drove us back up to the bnb. so we got the whole night and few hours next day like we were supposed to. he ended up staying at my house until monday. his parents insisted on driving here and towing his car back home for him, so i got to meet them.
i feel awful ab his car, he had already spent way too much money, and he hadnt even had the car for 2 years. im glad it got us 3 extra days though. we definitely needed them, we were so emotional abt leaving eachother
but anyways now, were trying to figure out our next meeting, and by the end of next year, me and my kitty will hopefully be living with him!! i love him so much. and even more after meeting him. hes exactly how i thought he would be. i genuinely miss him so much it hurts. it hurts not having him here, but to anyone whos going to be meeting their partner and is scared, just dont overwhelm yourself. it can be the most beautiful thing ever.
