Asking for a picture?

[Anonymous]

So a while ago I tried to talk to this girl on whatsapp who I met on FB. But it wasn't a girl. The person asked me how I was doing and the second thing they asked me was for a pic of me which I did send even though I had bad feelings about it. The person did bad stuff to my photo and tried to blackmail me. So now I met this girl I hope on a dating app and she asked me for 2 pics. Now my question is do girls usually ask for pictures or what?

I feel sorry for what happened to you with the photo issue, I hope sincerely you’ve solved it. I sincerely think you don’t have to send photos, usually it can be an exchange of photos between two persons but it happens when there’s a minimum level of intimacy and trust. I don’t think sending photos to someone just known is a good idea. Try propose to the girl a brief video call or something like that, or send them via WhatsApp with the temporary functionality.

my rule is: I never ask for pics and i never give them any...
and I recommend it to other people...
if you give some then there could be a lot of problems with it, what you are writing right now.

I never ask for pics as they always want one in return and after that it never ends.

Yes, often. I block people who try to blackmail me.
