Before I share with you the missive I've got lined up for a girl on OKCupid, I have to admit that I am rather struck by her. Her profile says "smart" and her pictures say "cute as a button"- in short, the type of girl that routinely turned The mooncalf youth of my yesteryear into a tongue-tied, stammering amalgamation of every character Hugh Grant has ever played. I blame Hollywood for making me believe that this is attractive.
As follows:

…But then again it may not, I just wanted to open with something other than “hey, u iz r8 peng”
It’s like this, I don’t really hold with this type of thing but you seem to be an interesting person so I had to talk to you. Your profile is peppered with self-deprecation which I know some people affect to come over as cute but you strike me as being remarkably honest and open-minded, and although you say you’re not too good at describing yourself you make your profile very personal which is refreshing after so many stunted biographies on dull profiles where the focal point is a bunch of photos of the person in various degrees of undress…
Now I have a confession to make, I don’t know the capital of Peru but I do have a Peruvian friend who looks like Dora the Explorer which is much better and if it’s really important I’m sure she’ll tell me what I need to know.
So, has this changed your life?
I'll append that the bit about Peru is a refference to her "message me if..." section and to be completely honest that's where most of my doubt lays, I'm worried that from that part onwards I just seem weird while I actually had an angle towards funny.
So, what's the verdict?
