Is it strange to not take a single picture together with the person you’re dating?

[naijagurl]

I just realized that in the four months that we dated, my ex and I didn’t take a SINGLE picture together. All the pictures I have of us together are impromptu pictures taken by our friends.

We aren’t the people in the pictures by the way.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Maybe he just didn't like pictures?
I was the same way with my exes; I can count on one hand how many pictures I took with them. And it was no reflection of how I felt about them at the time- I just really hated taking pictures as I'm self conscious of my looks or how I look in pictures. I cannot even stand taking selfies, much less posing with other people!

Some people don't need a picture to show how much they care about their partner

My ex and I of 5 months never had a photo together, not even any taken by friends/family. It felt weird sometimes. If we didn't have a photo together, especially during some fun days out (you want to keep those memories!), within about 8 months, I'd find it unusual. Unless the guy told me from the get go that he simply didn't like his picture taken or that he wasn't into couple selfies.

I think it depends on the person. I’ve had girlfriends in the past and we rarely took pictures together. I have a girl__friend and we just took a picture together last weekend. ... but she likes taking pictures. I prefer just enjoying time spent together with people.

You think y'all should take photos because its what most people do anyway. You don't have to, its not a requirement, it won't make the relationship any better or worse. Just keep it real. If its bothering you so much and u must, then tell him you want to take pics

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes them things happen , it's sad to think you two was together four months
and not one picture of you two together , the same thing happened with me
and my ex-girlfriend , we was together four months when she broke things off
she did it to please her mother but not one picture of us two together.

[sawno]

I never take pictures of myself, so in my case it would not be that strange.
But if your boyfriend is someone who constantly takes pictures then it would be perculier to say the least.

[MrGrey240]

I always take photos. Not to the point where I have half an trillion photos. If we go out and do something special (trips, holidays, etc.) Then I'll take a few. Another thing is I'll have saved photos of her in random spots. Helps with certain moods.

[Kaneki05]

Not really, if both people see each all the time and don't like photos or ain't bothered about taking them who cares.

[Ac211]

Its not strange at all. The only thing that matters in a relationship if if y'all are happy together.

[morimeme1]

Same, I don't know. I just feel so happy being together that it never occurs to me to take a picture. Plus both of us us find it rather tiring.

[Melshmallow046]

Neither my boyfriend or I are selfie people, or post on social media much. Other people have taken pictures of us but we haven't, and that suits as just fine. It depends on the couple, really.

[GraveDoll]

I hardly do.

I mean I am not one for selfies unless: A new outfit or feeling myself or just left the salon.

[ThereIsWhat]

No. Sometimes we are so focused on taking pictures of the "perfect moment" that we dont really enjoy the moment we are doing. If I am really serious someone, I put my phone away. However, taking one or two pictures is not going to kill you.

[Adam1978]

No that's completely normal for us who aren't stuck in social media.

[SjE78]

no it's not strange, its how we all keep memories we make with those who we share time with

[simplyaramdomgirl]

It's okay. I don't have any pictures with my ex. I guess it's a preference thing.

[StephenCF]

I wouldn’t call it strange, but I personally would have a need to do it occasionally, just for the memories 😜📸👫❤️

[es20490446e]

I won't normally think about it, cause I don't post pictures of me anyways online.

But if you asked me, for keeping them private, I would like it.

[es20490446e]

Why not public? Cause I think you start to worry about things that doesn't matter.

[IreallyhateGAG]

Well for us guys we don't care about things like that that is emotional female stuff I mean who cares about a picture?

[apple24]

No, personally I hate couple pictures. When I was dating someone they kept ask for a pic but I really feel like it wrong in a way

[LonewolfMeme]

I don't know my and a guy are iffy with pictures. I kinda have to plead for it bc he doesn't like pics.

[Sweatyotterr]

No I don’t like taking pictures not sure why girls like pictures so much

[AdrianK303]

Depends on how much each of you likes pictures, i take a lot of pictures when going on a trip or something diffrent happens

[Anonymous]

I don’t think it’s weird, but that’s just me. I hate pictures so I’d be the kind of person to go through a relationship without a single picture.

[El_Heffe]

I've always found it very strange to not take pics or videos of our Young couples.

[mikeylarcj]

No I don’t like taking pics in public i feel like an idiot especially selfies

[LuvAsh]

It kinda is but maybe he didn't like taking pics. Some people don't think they look good on camera

[TITAN-IDC]

All that creepy scary news put their you dont want photos with someone who turns out to be different.. Just saying be careful..

[jeni_ad]

No that's not strange... You are totally into each other that you relish every single minute spent with each other that you almost forget to click photos

[crazy8000]

Not really.
Some people doesn't have the need to show the world or to prove anything.

[outside_Toronto]

I giess it could be strange. Not everyone takes pics though

[outside_Toronto]

guess**

[RosesnPetals]

I dated a guy with whom I never had any pictures with.

[iFarted]

It happens, some people just aren't into taking photos

[jamiesw]

No some people just don't enjoy the process and prefer to enjoy the moment ( :

[josephk1005]

If they aren't really in love with that person or imbassered maybe

[Anonymous]

kind of cringey by the looks of you two

[naijagurl]
