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.
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
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.
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.

s I've done it before if we got on well!
Not at all. Its a friendly act
u 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
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.
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.
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
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.
"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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
