Dear Friend:
I am thrilled that you and your new beau are interested in helping me find a great guy. I am sure this prospect is a wonderful person, but the physical attraction on my part just isn't there. Thank you so much for thinking of me, and let's get together soon.

You missed my point - she can meet for coffee - doesn't matter if it's a blind date from a friend or OLD.
And for the record this bald guy blew me off with no explenation to me or my friend's sister.
You are absolutely NOT being too picky if his photo doesn't do a thing for you. Physical attraction is very important.
If in doubt, ask yourself this. Could you picture him naked, or would that be too revolting?
There. You have your answer, sister.
I totally know what you mean. Before I met E, my cousin (who's my mom's age) was trying so hard to set me up with a man who is best friends with her step son. I was considering it but through my job as a school photographer, I saw him at the school he teaches at. OMG - ick ick ick, not only not my type, but he seriously needed a shower. I was not only surprised that she would set me up with him but I was somewhat offended that she thought that being clean and presentable wasn't something that was important to me in a date. I told her that I saw him from afar and didn't feel any attraction toward him and I returned his call and said I wasn't currently dating. In the meantime my cousin was mad and called my grandmother to ask her if I was only willing to date someone who looked like Brad Pitt - how insulting! I guess her feelings were hurt that I wouldn't even go out with him once and honestly I considered it but I figured I'd have to tell him after that first date/meet that I wasn't interested so why even bother?
