Hi John!

My advice is tell her the truth about you, but also tell her why you have told her lies about your age and weight. I'm sure she'll understand, because everyone wants to make a good impression first. I think, she wants to make a good first impression, too. Though she might really be both beautiful and intelligent, she can hardly be perfect. No one is. If she really is interested in you she'll go through this with you. And if everything is fine, then go and see her as soon as possible. I've found also a good advice by Frederick S. Perls for you, this is for the mating game: I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations. And you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful, if not, it can't be helped.

With all my best wishes for you and her!
