I've met a guy through Yahoo personals and we've been messenging for while and decided to meet up this weekend. The chats we've been having are pretty casual and flirty and I'm afraid I won't live up to expectations because face to face I'm pretty shy when I first meet people but on messenger I'm confident. Any tips from personal experience etc would be grateful!

Well, realize that he's going to be just as nervous about the date, and take your time with it and just enjoy as much as you can.
Make sure you follow all safety guidlines though. Make sure you have his name and phone number left with a friend. That you call your friend when you meet him, and then about an hour later. Tell him blatantly that you are going to do that. If he's got a problem with it, don't see him.
ANY time you meet someone for a date that you've only known online, there is those first few awkward moments of, 'will they really like me.' Just be yourself, and realize that if He doesn't like that. Too bad for him.

I had a blind date through a friend once, and it was a nightmare (only the bit before it though) once you get past the first half hour you should be ok. Its the nerves that are the worst, go somewhere you can talk but has music or something that can be used to start a conversation if it dries up. Just because you're shy in person and confident on computer doesn't mean you wont live up to expectations it is to be expected you are going to be a bit shy when you first meet, just try to relax and above all enjoy yourself. rember you've done the hard bit, he likes you already if he's willing to meet. GOOD LUCK!!

I met someone last october and would not have gone on a date,but because it was a let's see how it goes meeting it made it easier for us both to meet without fear of rejection or awkwardness if we didn't fancy each other. We had messaged each other for about a month before meeting. if you make it clear it's a friendly, no expectations type of meeting, it's easier to be friends and not feel rejected if one of you isn't interested in a relationship. It worked for us and took the pressure of as we're both quiet when we first meet ppl, now we chat and laugh and go for meals together.

Don't panic about it.
He's probably just as nervous, it's a first date, everyone is nervous on first dates :)
You click with him online yea, you'll be fine.
Try and think of a joke, or something to break the ice, so to speak. Catch up on the news stories that have been going around, just incase he brings something up, be prepared.
And the biggest tip? Be yourself and have fun :)

be careful while there are some very genuine people on yahoo personals there are also some not so nice. tell some one you know where you are going or take some one with you they can stay in the background and you can have a signal to let them know you feel comfortable. good luck have a nice date

You can't be that different on the computer than in real life. Chances are things will be fine - I bet he's just as nervous. Just try to be yourself like you are on the computer.
