I have made an arrangement for a lunch date on Monday with a charming young East Indian guy who has lived in Sydney, Australia, UK, Oman, Ghana, the Netherlands, and a dozen other places. Educated at Stanford/MIT but plays that fact down, does not brag. He is totally charming on chat, very very polite and altogether too nice, and I am afraid that there would be no spark because, I am afraid, I get attracted to guys who do not treat me well and he is trying his best to treat me well. He would send chats to me a couple of times a day, checking to make sure that he is not interfering, until I suggested that we meet (because I need to see and hear a person) and he could not believe his luck, so he is not spoiled, which is so refreshing.

I still have not composed a nice, warm "let us just be friends" note to the first Indian guy.
