She might be totally different in real life, without the security of sitting behind a computer. She may or not be a 55 year old man, but she may be quite a bit different in real life than how she is on the Internet.

Yes, I am a lot cooler on the internet, which may come as a surprise to people here who wouldnt say I was very cool at all, but I am even less cool in real life.
And, kind of an opposite point to the one you made, is that she thinks I look like someone else (yeah, pretty low I know - I didnt show her a fake picture, but my whole internet persona was a totally different person and that is who she thinks I am, some random picture of some jeans model I posted as me... I mean, the whole person was a joke, just this kind of hyper arrogant guy I pretended to be...)
Anyway, that is the whole thing that even if I wanted it to, stops it going any further, cos I would have to admit who I really am and she would probably think I was a lying piece of shit (and quite rightly so)
I dont think she is a dude, but I take the point, on the basis I am not exactly who she thinks I am, I cant really assume she is who I think she is
And despite all this, the whole idea of "dating" someone who I cant actually ever meet is too pointless even for me.
