It's weird that you talked about how you're scared you're going to be a letdown... or that he's going to be disappointed when he hangs out with you. Because the other night, Niki and I were talking about how she was scared before we went on our first date. She had convinced herself that she wasn't going to be good enough... and that she'd be a "let down" because maybe I wouldn't think she was as pretty as I had expected her to be, or as amazing. But you know what? We had already fallen in love before we even went on our first date, kinda like you and Gabe... and the moment I saw her for the very first time, I thought she was absolutely beautiful. And as she walked towards me, I knew that her and I were going to work out, because she was everything I knew she would be, and more. The first thing I said to her was, "awe, you're beautiful", and it was so true. My point that I'm trying to get at is... you might have already convinced yourself that you're going to somehow not live up to what he's built you up to be in his mind... but that's only because you're scared. And you're allowed to be. But honestly, I know that the feelings you both have for each other are real... and you're not going to be a "letdown". You're going to be everything he believes you to be, and more. And even if you're nervous and act kinda closed off when you first hangout with him, that's not going to change anything. He's still going to see you as "this smart, pretty, and awesome" girl that he has fallen for. And if the distance hasn't stopped you guys, I don't think anything ever could. So stop worrying so much... because the way I see it, you guys are meant to be. All you have to do is let things happen.
