I simply don't know how to say some things.

I am rarely at a loss for words but oh boy, I am so perplexed.  Here is the story:

Last Wednesday I initiate contact with a guy on POF.  He writes back, and there are "sparks".  We do a lot of the same work, have a lot of similar hobbies.  He has heard of the tiny town I grew up in and neither of us want to eat seafood.  I think this is all good.  We "chat" on Gmail chat (typing only) as we work for the next two days.  Then on Saturday we decide to video chat.  He does not live far from me but I am very private.  So, seeing as I'm not going out with him soon, video chat was the next best thing.

A few things struck me odd.  First, he hardly knows about Skype even though he was in a long distance relationship for a year and his kids live far from him.  Why would a man not video with 1)the girlfriend, and 2) his children?  Go figure. 

Being the Scrooge of dating, I was in my yoga clothes and cuddled up (ugly single mom style) on the couch for this blessed event.  Then we connect.  Yes, I had seen his picture before and yes, he had seen mine.  I thought he was a decent looking guy and he was very nice about my photos as well.  But I have to say, there was no physical attraction.  Which is just as well but kind of a let down.  Maybe the camera just doesn't do him justice or whatever.  I felt like I was in a zoo exhibit being watched.  I have done a lot of Skype time in my life and you need to do something interactive or anything other than a good game of "stare eyes". 

I like to communicate with this person and it is flattering to be liked and complimented but did he feel something I didn't?  Is it possible that there could be attraction if we met in person even if we don't have it over video?  I just don't know.  I'm so out of my realm with the dating stuff that I just can't make sense of it.  And yes, since not feeling what I thought I would feel, I am . . . speechless.
