Creative?

I have to give this guy on a dating website credit, he's trying to be creative and cute:

Hey there, I am a little shy,so i came up with a code for you!Won't be tough for a smart,cute girl like yourself! If 1=a and 26=z 9 20+7+9+14+11 25+15+22 18+15+3+11

Either I'm really tired, or he can't count and/or spell (or I can't?)? Someone, anyone? I mean, it would be cute if he at least got it right. But really I was just wasting time counting out the alphabet in my head, for a misspelled fragmented sentence, rather than just reading a normal email.

I'm cranky.
