He hasn't said whether he means a rude one or a regular picture, so i'm assuming he means a regular one. Do you think i should send him one? I think it's kind of an unusual thing to ask. We have spoken on the phone so far, and we are going to meet up soon. Reply to this Question Share |

He also wants to be my FWB, which is why i am wondering why he has asked me to send a photo. But, as i said, he didn't ask for a naughty picture. He knows a lot of people that i know too.

Do you know this guy personally and have met him before? I don't understand why he would request a picture, I suppose he wants to see if you still look the same as before. That's the only thing I could think of it. A rude picture, do you mean a naughty one? Now if he's requesting one of those, that sounds a bit perverted and tacky. I would send him a regular one on your desktop, and leave it at that.

It isn't unusual at all for someone to ask for picture of you when you have been communicating. It gives one a better idea of you being able to match a picture with a voice. I am speaking of a normal photo though.....for a guy to ask for a more x-rated picture of you without you really knowing him or being involved in a relationship is just being disrespectful to you and towards any kind of relationship you might ever have thought that you both were heading towards. Make sure you send a recent picture as well. No one wants to see a photograph of someone that is 5 or 10 years old and misrepresents how you look now. It would also be appropriate for you to ask for a "normal" picture of him in return.
