In Love With My Profile

Most often, the online dating process is frustrating because of a lack of interest from suitable men or from men who are expressing interest by simply writing "Hi", "How's it going" or "Beautiful".  So I guess I should be grateful for the exceptions to that.  In the last few days, I've gotten messages from two different men who are the extreme opposite.  Based on their messages they are completely enthralled by me simply from my profile.

"tiergarten" sent me this message yesterday:

Hi,

I was in shock when your picture first showed up on my new [dating] page. After reading your profile, I knew I had to get to know you. 

Now, since I think you must be getting lots of messages on here, I am not nearly expecting a reply. 

But I thought you should know that even if only a fraction of what you said is true, the world around you (as far as I'm concerned) is a much better and lovelier place because of someone like you.

hey gorgeous..... i look at photos straight in the eye ball, and got mesmerized like a spell. Your profile, haha...., my instincts tell me you are the one...I already love you before meeting. So i wonder what does it takes to 
be with you?? is is a mountain or sea? well i will cross that....Hit me back and lets get this going.....

Okay, I guess it's nice . . . but really?  In love before meeting?  I want to find love, but I'd like someone to fall in love with me, not just some words on their computer screen.  And I mean, I know I'm a good catch, but I'm human.  Any real relationship would be built on love, knowing the other's flaws.  When I get such strong messages, I feel like I've been put on an impossible pedestal that I just don't want to be on.
