So.......
I just met this really nice guy this weekend. He seems very sweet and IS very intelligent. I'm not trying to be ridiculous here but, I am not the intellectual person that he is. I don't want to blow this and I certainly don't want him to think I am a complete idiot!!
Is there any advice anyone can give me?? I'm praying for something!
I would appreciate any and all suggestions.

If he is REALLY intelligent and not just trying to impress you he should adapt to make you feel comfortable. It doesn't matter if you aren't the intellectual person he is. If you are interesting and have a genuine interest in what he has to say then things will go well. Only a pompous highbrow would make you feel inadequate.

All you can do is show him the real you. I'm sure that you have a lot to offer, so what if your not as smart as he is i think that may get kinda boring. Just be yourself and have fun.

Why would you want to be anyone but yourself!? If he doesn't like you for who you are then forget him. Would you rather pretend to be someone your not, end up in a relationship with this guy and then have to continue to be a different person only to fit some crazy ideal your not even sure he's looking for? Sounds like too much work! Dating is supposed to be fun. Have a little faith that your own personality is wonderful enough not to hide!
