okay, met a guy last week on match. We went to dinner last Wednesday and have since talked several times on the phone and exchanged emails, blah blah blah...same ol' stuff. Well, I'm his first date from match and he seems to have alittle self esteem issue. He keeps asking me if he should change his profile. He thinks his picture makes him look huge, etc. I also made the mistake of telling him that my profile has been viewed over 4500 times (over the past 9 months or so). He says it'll be a long time until he reaches that, etc.... We really do get along and have alot in common and I really, really want to see him again. So I joked with him that I wasn't going to help him tweek his profile to get more hits...he didn't really say anything. He's away on business until Thursday and left me a voice mail that he'd shoot me an email and to stay in touch til he got back.
Should I say anything else to him or just wait and see what happens??

Ok...in that case, I'd keep his tackiness in asking you how to improve his profile FIRMLY in the front of your mind and see how he behaves on the 2nd date. But for me, at least, he'd really have to turn things around to overcome such a huge faux pas.

Exactly. He has a lot to make up for with that. I'm sorry, but that would have probably been a deal breaker for me. If you are willing to give him another chance, just be careful and be on the lookout for other red flags and inconsiderate behavior.
