now what?

In my post 'desperation', I talk about the email setup to a guy who is barely my height.  In line with keeping an open mind and not trying to eliminate men from the potential dating pool because they are genetically deficient in the height gene, I continued to email him.

Vivek sounded interesting.  He seemed to also lack a general sense of geography, but otherwise, he seemed nice.  I was excited to see that, unlike many guys out there, he was using full words - 'you' instead of 'u' and 'want to' instead of 'wanna', etc.  It was a nice change.

I had spoken to soon.

Soon, the punctuation and capitalization of letters had been lost.  'You' became 'u'.  Sentences became linked with '...' rather than kept as separate sentences.

I would have to get over it and not be so ridiculous.  He'd admitted several times to being lazy, so I could just excuse the lack of proper English on his laziness.

And then I did the unthinkable.  I asked for a picture.  I should have learned from the past - you don't ask a guy that you have a decent email conversation with for his picture!  It never ever works out.  Either they are good looking and completely idiots, or they are able to somewhat carry an intellectual conversation and are just not your type!

I'll be quite honest - Vivek is not bad looking.  He's just not a guy that I would have taken a second glance at on the street!  It's nothing against him - he's just not my type...

Now what do I write back?  We've done the picture exchange and he liked my pictures.  How do I write back to him?  I know I'm vain to the point where I believe that there must be some physical attraction and I see none in Vivek.

I feel terrible and I'm torn on how to proceed...sigh... I guess I'll keep you posted!
