How about i tell him that I'm not really into bald heads (not shaven but completely bald) or guys wearing school shorts for work, sitting in a local pub with real ales available and the most unappealing bit to me - he's in his 50's!!!
Now that may make me a bitch, but thats me and he might just get the message

(but i'm not that heartless

). The hard bit is he's deaf so communication is strained to say the least, but he's just not my type at all!
Anyway, enough about my little issue and back to halycon - its his thread
