Iris, Loved your post, so sweet, so can relate.
Iris,
I know what you are saying. Even though I have been an active member on the TMF for five years and even though I haven't made many posts and just now am up to 131 posts now; I must say that I am still very fairly new to the tickling community and to the TMF and still very fairly new to when it comes to when it is time to meet tickle buddies to be honest. I mean I did have a very positive and happy experience-that experience was when me and my husband ticklebear 2 met tickleshotel-immediately right after we met-3 of us hit it off instantly-became instant friends. It was a bit scary and it was nerve-wracking to think about what the first time would be like finally meeting tickleshotel in person-but I must say it was a very positive and great experience. We have become great friends with her-she is a close friend and she is also our roommate and lives w me and ticklebear 2. She is really nice and great to have as a roommate. But I know what you mean-first time before meeting her I was extremely nervous and anxious, excited but nerve-wracked a bit too.
So I can relate to what you are saying Iris. However it turned out to be a really positive and great experience. Let me say getting the chances to tickle tickleshotel is awesome and really great!! A once in a lifetime opportunity I never dreamed would ever come true and never dreamed would be possible to be truly honest w you.

If you would have told me she would someday be living w us- I would have chuckled and laughed and said yeah sure she will and totally not believed it. However here she is-a close friend of ticklebear 2 and me and our roommate. That was a surprise we were never expecting. I mean yes I had hoped someday to meet her in person and so did my hubby-but never imagined we would get the opportunity to do that so soon.
Yes, I know what you are saying-always a nerve-wracking thing when something new and unfamiliar happens-especially a unfamiliar social and emotional setting. I can totally relate to what you are saying there. I also soon am going to be dealing once again with having the nervous jittery butterflies and bundle of eager nerves-and anticipation and excitement about meeting another person who is a great friend and means a lot to me. I am soon going to be meeting my real good friend tickleteasing-really am eager and looking really forward to it -be meeting him for the first time at NWOT 2008 this July
11-13 Anyway gonna be meeting him first time there and I am eager and excited yet bit emot. anxious and nervous and bit jittery all at the same time the closer it gets.
Make sense?
I am excited about getting to meet him for the first time.
Because we are really good friends and close-he also is a real good friend of tickleshotel and my hubby ticklebear 2.
We all 4 are real good friends, looking forward to all getting to spend time together and chat and tickle and all be in the same room coming up soon. Yet I know what u are saying when you talk on anxiety and bit of emot nerves about meeting someone for the first time-tickle buddy of yours-not sure how the first tickle encounter will go and play out and not sure if he or she will like you or not, always something that plays in the back of your mind.
So I know what you are saying Iris. But I am happy and really glad and relieved to hear that your first tickle encounter meeting your tickle buddy-turned out wonderful and great-turned out to be a very rewarding and great positive first, great experience for you, that is wonderful to hear-great news Iris. I am very happy that was the case.
Great experiences always make you wish to come back for more-that is wonderful. Really enjoyed reading your post, keep your posts coming. You seem like a very sweet and nice and great person. Hope we can become friends. Have a great week.


Hoping we can be pals,
TickleBunny 2
