On Paper

I've been dating a new guy for a couple of months now. He's, well, nice. And that's really the best thing I can say about him.

He's great on paper. Intelligent, articulate, easy on the eyes, and a genuinely nice person. And he likes me, a lot. But as I keep managing to prove, theory does not always translate to reality in even measure. In this case, the man has no Elvis - nothing that makes him interesting beyond, say, the third date. Believe me, I know.

He'll make a good friend, but I'm not attracted to him. Now I just have to figure out how to tell him that.
