Is it normal for having a fear to meet people?

Okay i have this fear of meeting people. I always have an excuse for not meeting people. The only people i feel comfortable going out with are the one's i have known for a long time.
For example I made a friend online and we used to live in different states. Now he is coming to my state and will be there only for few hours. We have been talking since 3 years now and obviously he wants to meet me. I agreed to meet him but now i have this thing going in my mind like making up an excuse so i could say no to him. I still like talking to him, he is one of my closest friends but i still don't want to meet him. It's not only with him but with anyone. I tried to date online. Met few genuine guys, but i always find myself making an excuse for not meeting them. Even people i have met before, i always make an excuse. It's like there are selective set of people i am ready to meet when they want to, like 4-5.
Is it normal and if you have any views on that please do comment.

    Tell them to arrive at your house, you can't cancel after that.

    Real Friends are few and if is what you look comfortable more with I would not search online for a real deep relationships. You re not alone, lot of people keep it suoerficial today then i have that too, i prefer to save my time for me or people who go deep but are few. For me you are totally normal.

    It sounds like social anxiety and it's completely normal to have it.

      Maybe if you are a little scared, because it's a person you haven't known for that long, try and meet at a cafe first so you can be sitting down and in an environment that makes you feel relaxed.
