Hi Steve,
A few thoughts:
That would be a long text to send. A character counter puts it at half the length of the Gettysburg Address.
“I just…” may not sound interested, authentic, or confident. I know what you mean about being honest, but you might be taking the fun out of dating by describing rather than being.
How about something different! You said something about a sense of humor. Perfect. Use it. Invite her to something fun.
Be easy on yourself. Be yourself. No matter what, take it slow. It will be easy for you to move too quickly in any dating for a while. What else are you doing besides looking online for dating?
