I let a petty thing kill my crush, and I feel terrible

Dear Amy: I have met some friends online especially since COVID. One of these friends is a guy I was attracted to.

He makes me laugh, he’s nice, and I have a really good time talking to him. Although we had been friends for almost a year, our communication was only through text messages. He had seen pictures of me; I had no idea what he looked like.

I don’t consider myself a superficial person. I’ve always believed it’s about the inside that counts.

Well, we finally video chatted last night, and I’m not attracted to him at all.

I tried to convince myself that the lack of attraction wasn’t a problem, but I couldn’t.

There’s nothing wrong with the way he looks, he’s just a lot older than I thought and drastically different than I imagined.

I feel like a horrible person and have been berating myself all day. How dare I suddenly dislike this great guy I used to be close to for such a small reason?

Honestly, I’m also embarrassed for involving my emotions without knowing anything about him.

I don’t want to hurt him, especially since the reason behind it is so petty and would be so damaging if he knew.

Am I a horrible woman?

Dear Prospect: This dynamic is exactly why I push for an in-person (or video meeting) ASAP when people are crushing online.

Start by watching every version of “Cyrano de Bergerac” you can access.

You are not petty, you are not terrible; you are human. (Have you never experienced gentle rejection due to a lack of attraction? This is a common and uncomfortable experience for anyone brave enough to swim in the dating pool.)

You are already friends with this man. Now that you’re broken up, you should take this relationship back to the friend zone.

Dear Amy: I am nearing the end of high school. My parents ask about my graduation plans.
