Is that a joke about my 5'4 height?

But really, thank you for the compliment, but I think "lucky to date me" is a [i]little[/i] bit of a stretch.

And don't worry, I like foreigners.

It really wasn't. You're right, 'lucky' may be a stretch since this whole online thing is pretty shady overall, but it makes me sad to hear someone who would be considered a great catch (devout Catholic, nice guy, well-intentioned, etc) to refer to themselves as anything less, even jokingly. Maybe it is because I have a little brother. Antigonos is braver than I am though, for posting her thoughts on the matter first.

And you will grow. Promise! I grew 3 inches between when I was 13 and 19, and I'm an average-height girl.... The odds are for you!

[i]I'll tell you a story. When my son was about to be bar mitzvah, at age 13, his AUNT said to him "Happy Birthday -- you're 9 this year, right?" He's now about 5" taller than his father. If your current avatar is a picture of you, then you definitely won't remain the height you are now. And in the event that I'm a lousy prophet, just look how successful Dom de Vito has been! [or Ronny Barker, if you follow British TV shows]

SERIOUSLY...as others have said, don't sell yourself short [terrible pun, I know][/i]

I think what I highlighted has way more to do with your not going on a date than your face. I don't see anything in your avatar that would turn anybody away.

The camo however might be working against you. I'm not saying you need to go girly girly which is totally not your personality - but I don't see why, if you were modestly dressed to flatter, and if you made friendly chat (and smile) why you wouldn't be able to find yourself on a couple dates.

[Antigonos]

To me, judging by her avatar, L'il Mon looks attractive and intelligent.

And yes, being a short Franciscan Friar isn't a bad thing. Saint Francis and Saint Anthony were short, actually.

Oh, I was just joking about the short thing. Don't worry.

Well, it just seems prideful for me to call myself a great catch. It may not be, perhaps embracing this would be good. It reminds me of the time when I called Father Gabriel of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal last September. He told me that I was a good person and to embrace this fact, and not to be afraid to say it out of humility. Perhaps this applies in this situation as well?

I am the last person who should be giving you advice about humility, but it seems that the answer is 'neither.' You don't need to proclaim yourself a great catch, yet you also don't need to say that you [i]aren't[/i]. The easiest thing would be to just not mention anything about your catchiness (?).

So, if we were re-enacting Antigonos, "Annie, FP, milkshake and movie, eh? EH?"* Then you could just say, "That sounds like a genius idea, but there is an age gap, which is somewhat large for our current ages."

The only time you need to tell a girl you are unworthy of her is if you forget her birthday or your anniversary... Or if you call her mom fat.

Yes, Miles, I think it does. Humility is seeing things as God sees them. God creates things that reflect beauty, wisdom and charity. We tend to forget that and then try to say that God creates junk. Not very flattering to God, is it. On the other hand.... overflating yourself tends to say God didn't know what to do by creating you in the first place.....

Lil' Mon,

I think your avatar picture looks a lot like Meryl Streep... and that ain't bad. I'm jealous! (She's older than either of us... but that just gives you a clue how fantastic you'll look when YOU get older!)
