The first time I moved to London, Nick met me at the airport. Which I kinda felt bad about the time we were meeting in Australia after our 4 mth stint of just emailing. We only knew eachother for a week. I didnt meet him at the airport. In fact, I gave him directions to my friends flat in Melbourne coz I was to scared. He showed up at the flat and I was sitting on the steps watching him look for the flat numbers. I didnt even get up. I kinda just stared at him until he was in front of me. It was pretty awkward for the first 2 hours.
First time I saw him at the airport in London, he looked completely unfamiliar to me. Esepcially when he gets a haircut. He always jokes about it being awkward so I think its just me. I never know if I should kiss him or how long we should hug for and Im always really shy. Even if one of us has only been away for 1 week. Even after 2 1/2 years of knowing him, I still felt awkward at our greeting.
Is this normal!?!?
Only time it hasnt been awkward was when I met him this past March. He came to Canada and as soon as I saw him, his face was so familar, even after not seeing him after 3 mths. My Best friend J has assured me this is normal and has also suggested that it might be whosever turf we are on. Coz the only time it wasnt awkward for me, was when it was on my turf. My airport. My country.
So...its been 11 mths, and once again, Ill be on his turf. Is this gonna be awkward or what? Im really nervous. He even asked me if its ok if Kim (older sis) can come (coz she has a car) to pick me up as well. Im thinking..."would it be less awkward?" Thats so stupid! This is the only thing I am worried about. Oh yeah, and I might be due for miss aunt flow the day I fly out!!! Damn birth control...or lack of.
Yikes!

Z girl: don't feel bad, after dating yer dad for more than a year (and incidently being pregnant with yer sis) i bumped into him on a bus in vancouver after not seeing him for 4 months (another long story) and it took me about 5 minutes to actually recognize him. i finally recognized his eyes (which are beautiful, like yours) and i think the people on the bus were starting to get a little anxious at my confusion. they settled down when i handed him the keys to my apartment.

I was thinking...maybe if you just hug him and then not let go for a long stint of time. That way, A. you get to hold each other, and B. If you squeeze tight enough then you won't have to stare at each other awkwardly at least until the hug is over. The hug may be what you need to balance the tension in your heart and make your world balanced enough to resume life as normal :)
I was just thinkin about that
