How to ease your nerves when meeting a person for the first time?

Im nervous to meet a guy I started talking to over Facebook because I think our conversations made him interested in me for my personality. The first few attempts he made to befriend me were basically ignored as he was a stranger. I was done with dating, done with trying, I was even facing some majorly depressive feelings of defeat. And as a way to distract myself from my sisters moving out of my apartment and me being lonely, I texted him back with no intentions other than to cure my boredom for the day. We FaceTimed the same night. In our first conversation he seemed to be genuinely intrigued by something I said, but I don’t know what it was. I don’t know what caught his attention but he started to call me more often and be more communicative over time. At first I wasn’t nervous to talk to him because I didn’t care what he thought of me. But over time the more we talked the more I felt like he seemed like a real interesting person, and next thing I know we were trying to be cool but then one of us would break and ask if we could talk again and hours would go by of us just clicking on the phone. Suddenly he was sending me flowers and inviting me out to events and I was trying to change my schedule to accompany him. But next week is the only time I actually could make to do that. And my personality is what he liked, I’m sure. Except now that I actually like him I’m nervous and worried. I worry that I might say something wrong or do something stupid if I was to see him so I kept telling him no when he would ask to take me out. I started to be more quiet when we did talk because I was suddenly self conscious about my voice or worried I might say something stupid. And I even started to ask him why he enjoyed our conversations as much as I did. So he told me he just likes talking to me and he feels like we just seem compatible. How to ease my nerves?
