I've defiantly had some problems along the same lines as yours.
To be perfectly honest, it's never really easy meeting somebody irl that previously you had only spoken with over the web.
It's important to be yourself, and not try to be somebody you're not, that can only lead to problems down the road. It's also important to realize and accept that the first greeting can be awkward, just accept it and from then on it will only get better. Wasn't it a little awkward talking to her for the first time? Now look how far you've come.
Another thing that can help is to talk via webcam. That can get you more used to instant dialogue ( you don't get a few seconds to think about your response), facial expressions and just general face to face conversation.
Best of luck to you bro, keep us updated.
