Hello Veralynne.

It sound good you are finally about to meet, also I recommend your hometown.
Take it easy, yes easy to say but less easy to be relaxed, but if you go with what shayna say and you just be yourself I think things will go well.

As for denuseris comments here, I must say I am disappointed. Just because some of us are dominants who actually do this in reality, doesn't mean that we are some kind of uncontrolled beasts. Common sense and the need of consent guide even us.

As for some general pondering and sobering thoughts:

In dating someone you met online, expectations will be extremely high, and that is something you need to look into. I have failed a number of times due to expectations turned into unrealistic levels, and that from both sides.
But even then, you might find that you two are really not even compatible.

A submissive woman I discussed things with elsewhere said that only 1 date in 10 show that much promise that she felt she could proceed.
In my experience I give a little bit better odds, I met my ex in one BDSM chatroom on IRC Dalnet, when we found out we were relatively near we decided to meet. Resulted in 8 quite wonderful years. So things can very well go fine for you.

Another date for me is due next week, so I wish us both good luck now.
