Would it be weird to ask your first date for a selfie?

[jessicake]

As a first date, me and this guy were going to go hiking. Would it be weird to ask him for a picture together with a view in the back or should I just ask him to take a picture of me? For the guys, would you be weirded out if a girl asked you this or the opposite and be happy she asked?

Yeah, kinda weird

No, I wouldn’t mind

[rjroy3]

Depends on how I know her and how well it was going. If it was at a point near the end of a good date, then taking a selfie to send to me as a way to remember her better when she texts me again in the future. Then yea that's cool and makes sense. If there was some awesome shit that would be perfect to take a selfie with in the background and it was fun, then yea that's cool too. Mostly because it makes more sense to take a group shot, rather than play her photographer on the first date. But if I don't know her really and she just randomly asks for a selfie I would think that's kind of weird. Would be wondering why she wants the selfie and if I should be concerned about her getting too attached too soon.

[DanielOfTheNorth]

I don't like taking any kind of pictures, and I don't like sharing much, but I could never really turn down a kind request for a selfie from a girl on a date. It's actually kinda cute and any anxiety I would have over taking a photo would go away.

But be kind about it, and don't pressure him into taking one, but I am sure you already know this. And I would be happy she asked, but I get nervous easily so it stops me from doing a lot of things I want to do or wouldn't mind doing

[CHARismatic110]

Depends. On the setting and the person. For you, your setting is good. Your hiking for a first date. Plenty of views and reasons to take pictures. If I were on a date like that date, the selfie thing would seem normal because of so many photo opportunities. The setting is right. Just depends on if he's that type of guy. Now if it were say, a dinner date or a movie date, it might be weird. There's no real reason to snap a picture in either of those settings, although again, I don't mind taking selfies. Other people find it weird. That's why I said it depends on the person.

[aicarg]

If the date is going well and you care to capture a memory, I dont see why not. Plus, a hiking date is a reasonable date for one to capture a selfie together. However, if it were at a restuarant... it'd be a bit awkward.

[PrincessPie]

I've done it before if we got on well!

[Desconhecida]

Not at all. Its a friendly act

[Iron_Man]

I was going to tell you please don't do that until you told us you're going to go hiking in the woods that would be acceptable you can take a beautiful picture of the trees and streams and that would be cool but don't do that kind of stuff going out to a movie or dinner that's like desperation. Even though I met a girl one time at a cemetery when on vacation and we ended up at a photo booth later on that evening taking pictures

[LittleSally]

It would be weird to me - partly because I'm not a huge fan of them...
But I guess it could turn out to be cute...
But if you post that pic on social media he might get freaked out and think you want something more serious since he's amongst your pics now.

[lumos]

Depends how well you know each other. If it's literally the first time you're hanging out, I think it would be kinda weird. Might give off some clingy vibes and some guys tend to be sensitive towards stuff like that. Even if you asked him to just take a pic of you it would be kinda weird, unless the moment was right for it.

[neidabakedd]

I don't think id be weird, it's only weird if you post it and make it seem like it's something when it's not. I've asked guys for selfies, they don't seem to mind. Plus I don't add captions or nothing I just post :) if he likes you he definitely wouldn't care

[The_FallenOne]

Kind of weird because it's only the first date and don't even know if they actually want to stay in your life.
Unless it's your first date with someone you've known for a while, it's not weird to take a selfie. But if you just met the dude and take a selfie with them it's a little bit weird.

[Necdump]

"Hey the view is great! Let's take a picture! Come here" sounds very casual and playful. Would definitely like the reaction as it would mean she was enjoying herself

[bubble_tea]

No. You want a memory of the hike and a nice spot. I'd prefer to be asked to do a selfie together than asked to be his photographer.

[KAF87]

Not at 19, but normally yes.

First dates are usually just a meeting, no romance yet, if it feels right I will kiss her good night, but in general you aren't even dating.

I would save pictures, etc, for when you are an actual couple.

[Czdrkd]

I'd be flattered. Unless you were using it to make fun of me later with your friends. Then I would be honored because I like making people laugh.

[TripleAce]

ya I don't like being asked for selfies... especially on the first date... feels rather strange...
but you can make it natural, take a picture of you two with the hiking area as the backdrop...
that works yes... and feels ok

[Kandy-Kane]

Send me a selfie lol

[BrittBratt2416]

I think that's okay but if you guys don't go any further than that then you'll just end up with a picture of you and a random person you went on a date with lol

[Naruto_Uzumaki]

I think it's kind of weird to do it on the first date because who knows if things work out? I'd only take a selfie if I know things will work out between us

[Paztelcat]

Taking a picture together kinda means ur making a memory of it... which might seem like ur being desperate cause.. a first date is to get to see if someone is worth making memories with.

[polnikovza]

unless you are sure about the person.
i would do it no problems

[Jesslin412]

It’s a little much for the first date but then again it would be a memory of the first date! If you guys end up together you’d always have that cool first date memory pic! Do it!

[Astoriana]

I think that's weird. I wouldn't go hiking on a first date anyway. What if he turns out to be weird and/or boring? Then you're stuck with him all day.

[catharine]

I believe a first date is only a one time deal with that person and it could possibly end up forever so why not snap the first photo on that date.

[Browneye57]

What, to post on facebook? Yeah, tacky. For a lot of reasons. Facebook is all fake, the narcissists playground. You you get there is LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!

[HereIbe]

In days long gone, many a public space had the "photo booth", and it was not uncommon for dates to take a paired photo at the booth. It's not weird to ask your first date for a selfie. It is weird to ask your first date for a baby.

[halfbowsey]

Yea it could be. It's understandable if you've spent a long time on the date and had lot of fun. Weird if it's just a standard date

[Finchie40]

Not at all , I would just laugh and think of it as a memory of the first date

[Paris13]

You're Both Backpacking, I see no Harm in A... Background Together. xx

[donnny2367764]

As if going hiking on a first date isn't weird enough as is... sure, take a selfie together... at least the location will be tagged in case "anything" goes bad

[wanderingeye]

I'm a heavy believer in energy, and when you're starting a foundation, taking a picture and posting it, everybody is looking at it and therefore putting their energy on it.

[Cammy137]

If you've clicked them there's no reason it would be weird

[pixie_xoxo]

I've done it before.
It's nice to have in case you guys get serious

[estoydorado1]

It would be kinda weird.. Especially if he/she isn't sure that they want to continue seeing you.

[ImSoSquishy]

i don't mind, why would i mind when i don't even mind taking pictures with friends? lol

[spartan55]

Depends on how the date was going, but generally speaking NO.

[spartan55]

No meaning yes I think it would be weird.

[happyhippo]

I don't think in that case it would be weird. It would be weird in a restaurant, but not when it's hiking.

[Caaarl]

I don't understand what's weird about talking a selfie together. Maybe it's a bit early if you just met the guy.

[Outofthegrey]

I don't even have a facebook account, so I'd think it was stupid.

[xTom98]

If it was in a resturant it would be a bit weird, but Id agree to take some whilst hiking 👍🏼

[slatyb]

Totally normal. Even if it's the first and only date, it's nice to have the memory. Good luck.

[Jemini_Crocket]

Missclicked. I don't think it would be appropriate.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't call it weird, just kind of unusual or even suspicious. I would only accept a picture of me by myself at first.

[LawShark]

Only if the date was obviously going bad then might be weird. Otherwise it's ok

[Celtero]

I'd be annoyed because I think selfies are stupid in the first place.

[Ana_Moonsong]

Okay your problem dude

[Ayer93]

I guess it's not common, but I definitely wouldn't mind. It would make me feel like she's comfortable with me and all.

[blondfrog]

Yes that's too weird. Unless your first date is with that person who you have been friends with for a long time.

[JohnFrost]

I wouldn't expect it and that makes it kinda weird but i wouldn't mind. I think i would like it but kinda depends what you are planning on doing with the picture.

[IlyaTheImpaler]

I wouldn't mind, I would likely keep the photo because I like to chronicle my life

[ultimega]

A little, especially if you haven't known each other for that long. Maybe after a few more dates? :/

[Anonymous]

It’s just a first date...
Why are you saving the memories via photo? Because it will never happen again?

[Prof_Don]

That's a funny way to ease the tension! I say do it. :)

[Anonymous]

I'd be annoyed. Hiking is about being apart of nature. Taking selfies destroys that feeling completely. It's artificial and materialistic.

[Opinion Owner]

This is also why women aren't allowed on our camping trips. We know they'd ruin it.

[jessicake]

Wow that reply isn’t sexist at all, you’re giving me little dick energy

[Opinion Owner]

When in doubt just attack the size of a mans penis I suppose. That says a lot more about you than it does me.

[jessicake]

It’s a meme but you’re probably older and don’t understand so it’s okay. I was perfectly fine with your original reply, second one wasn’t necessary man

[Opinion Owner]

I mean it's the truth, The boys and I go camping at Yosemite every few months and our rule is no tech and no women.

[jessicake]

good for you and the boys

[Anon-ymous1]

Yes, it would. I'm not sure who the crazies are saying "no," but they're wrong and apparently haven't dated enough. Don't do it.

[Decentguy]

sounds too weird to me, if i was on a first date with any women, and she asks me for a selfie on our first date, my first thoughts would be that she's mentally ill

[LeilaLeilaLeila]

I hate selfies so if it were me I would just ask him to take a picture of me.

[TacosRAwesome]

A bit weird unless you've known each other for a while and you're already a couple.

[Wifflesnoofer63]

I would assume you were planning to send it out to all your friends for their opinion of me and if "we" make a good looking couple.

[PrettyRegular]

I wouldn't mind, but I usually don't look too good in a selfie. (That's the main reason why I don't take 'em) ☺

[sayitaintso85]

She works two jobs to make ends meet; at least, that was her reason for not having time to join us.

[jessicake]

What?

[sayitaintso85]

Sorry wrong question whoops
Apologies
I read you question
Seems sweet
perfect first date.

[Anonymous]

If the date is going well then I’d like a cute photo taken

[YHL6965]

I hate selfies so I would probably say no and find here super shallow.

[ryryryan]

Some in this situation aren't shy about sharing more than that

[Anonymous]

Why would it be weird? -- as long as you both have no problem with it.

I mean, this is coming from the same generation that seems to have no problem sending each other nude selfies?

[Likes2drive]

No I wouldn’t mind, it means she is actually having fun and into me

[Anonymous]

I think that if you're going on a hike, he's trying to get you away from your electronics. That's what I would be thinking, if I invited you on a hike but, I'm not him
