hey! i'm meeting dan and phil at boston tatinof, and i was wondering if you had any tips for meeting them? i had met then in November at their book signing and i was not ready to see them irl then. any tips? tysm!!
Hi! Neither of us have actually met Dan or Phil, but I have read some tips on that around tumblr so maybe this will help?
I would suggest thinking about what you want to say. Whether you want to be funny, or you want to thank them for being the awesome humans they are, or whatever it is really think about it and then practice a little. Just go over it in your head, maybe write it down somewhere in case you draw a blank in the line, whatever will help calm you down a little, because let’s face it you’re gonna be so super excited about this omg.I know it’s kind of hard, but try thinking of them as regular everyday people! Because they honestly are, they just happen to post videos on YouTube that tons and tons of people watch lol but think about them as someone you could run into at a supermarket or bump into on a train. Hopefully that helps with nerves and all that as well.Also, I’ve read that Dan is super awkward about the whole thing (cause the boy’s just awkward, we all know this lol), so when you walk up and you want a hug from them you have to initiate it. Don’t be afraid though, I guarantee you they want to hug you so say what you want, open your arms for two of the best hugs ever, then get them to sign your things and get a great selfie!
And lastly, just please, and this goes out to everyone, don’t bring up phan okay? They don’t like it, so respect them and leave it alone.
We hope you and everyone else getting to meet them has a great time!!
