Meeting an app crush for the first time

As the headline states, I’m about a week out from meeting my crush for the first time. I’m nervous because he’s newly out, barely, without a lot of dating experience. on my end, there’s the whole status-disclosure thing, which is enough of a worry. but on top of that the “equipment” only works sporadically so that’s another “performance” stress layer on top of the already existing one.

maybe I’m worrying too much. he is a wonderful soul, kind and understanding, but he also “has needs” and is leaning more bottom (as am I). anyways, my goal for the first meet is to establish intimacy and see what the vibe is. have any of you been in similar situations and how did you handle it? ftr I was a 99% top before the equipment failure. thanks for any/all advice!
