Nervous about meeting... me?
This is something that is beyond me.
I mean, I am the most every day unassuming person you will ever (or never given that this is the blog world) meet. My first college roommate swore that I was the type of girl that guys "take home to mom" because I am the perfect hostess and home maker (ah, if she could see me now... no husband, no hostess duties...). Recently I commented to a friend that I worry about the Diva as she strives to make her friends comfortable. My friend commented that she is like her mom. I was stunned. Do I do that?
And if that is the case, then why would anyone be nervous to meet me?
I promise not to bite, talk about nuclear weapons or the effects of radiation on the human body. I will be completely in control of all my different personalities. I will not mention my kid unless asked and will not discuss parenting issues because, well, even I need a break from the topic from time to time and I have other parents with whom I can discuss those things - they aren't really date material.
I am the person little kids talk to about bad words and such. I am the one tourists approach for directions (and then summarily ignore, but... still).
Bottom line, I am the most unintimidating person I know!
And I am rarely nervous about meeting anyone... seriously... unless it is a guy who might possibly be interested in me... and then I am a wreck. We are not talking butterflies, we are talking pterodactyls in full flight!
The professional me has no problems meeting people; the female me is a wreck. That is just... weird!
So really, this guy shouldn't be nervous about meeting me at all; it is me that should be nervous about meeting him!

Just remember its not all about you. Enjoy.
Mike - So very right. It will be fun!
Each of us have our "stuff" — he obviously has his. If you are your charming, natural, savvy self, that nervousness won't last long ...
Kat - I have a feeling it will be a very fun time!
Nerves are just a reminder of anticipation and excitement. Focus on the feeling you'll have when you get the thing you want. (I sound like "The Secret") Another way to look at it - some single parents rarely date, so they don't get to have all those butterflies. Have fun
