There's nothing as exciting as finally seeing someone you've known, whether it be through letters, phone conversations, electronic correspondence, or through friends for the first time. This even holds true upon seeing someone again for the first time in a long time, or getting together with someone you once spent a brief period of time with.
The details of a person's face, their expressions, and their gestures all thrust themselves upon the vague impressions and suppositions you have in your mind. What do this person's mannerisms (inflection, pitch, moods, etc.) look like? Will the immediate, and granted much more sensory-rich, experience of being around a person eclipse or replace the things you've come to know? It's an extraordinary experience.
And no, I'm not e-dating. Not yet at least.
