Letter writer feels “terrible” because they don’t find their online crush attractive after meeting him on video chat.
Well, we finally video chatted last night, and I have no attraction to him at all. I tried convincing myself that the lack of attraction wasn’t a big deal, but I couldn’t do it. There’s nothing wrong with the way he looks, he’s just a lot older than I thought and drastically different from what I pictured. I feel like a terrible person and have been berating myself all day.
I really do not want my reluctance to go to the graduation ceremony to escalate this into “a thing” and cause more conflict. Am I being petulant? Should I stick to my guns, or just suck it up?When given the choice, I always vote for “stick to your guns” — unless the other choice is to “suck it up,” when doing so is a possibility of a relatively brief duration.
If you perceive that they do care, then decide: Are you able to give your folks this little gift? If so, then throw on a cap and gown and walk the walk.
