A while ago now some boy (or man, he's 18 so uhhh young man, lad, whatever) from college added me on facebook. I don't know him but he recognised me because I used to have brightly coloured hair. Well, the last couple of weeks or so we've been talking to each other, I've commented on a few of his statuses. And now I've just got a pm from him that said "yo, you seem like a pretty cool and level-headed person, how do you fancy meeting up in town one day?"
Oh shiiiit! I haven't replied to him yet, but I shall soon. I would like to see him, but at the same time I'm just shocked and caught off guard. For ages now I've taken the safe route, just seeing the same few old friends and staying within my comfort zone not planning on changing it. Now, suddenly someone from college on facebook wants to meet me in town. I'm sh*****g bricks now, I want to make a good impression but how the hell do I do that? He says I seem pretty cool, how do I seem pretty cool IRL? I'm not pretty cool, I'm a quiet nervous reck usually. Usually resorting to silly sarcasm when there's nothing else to say. I just hope to god he'll bring some others with him so I've got less pressure put on me.
Now he, he is cool. Not one of the popular kids, but he hangs around with rockers and metal heads and that. And he's more like a middle of the popularity ladder kind of person, and has a large social circle with friends and friends of friends that all know each other. I know some of his friends from primary school, but they remember what I was like back then and I was anything but "level headed" or "pretty cool". Of course I've changed A LOT since primary school, and you wouldn't think I was the same person but they would still have old memories tainting their expectations of me.
tl:dr, some guy from college I don't know personally wants to meet me in town. WTF do I do? How to make a good impression and at least nearly live up to his expectations?
