If a guy says something about the pics you post on the first date is that negging?

He’s not ready for a relationship but he’s trying to make me feel bad about some pictures I post and he already knows about them. Is this because I wasn’t offering sx?

If he SAYS something, no.

If he INSULTS you, he's just f-ing rude. Don't know why "negging" is considered acceptable flirting mode. It's something guys do to girls they think of as conceited or needing to be "knocked down a peg" for some reason. Don't engage. Just walk away. Those guys will do that for the entire time you're dating/whatever.

I don’t understand why he said it in the first place?

[DishLady]

Because he’s a dbag.

You’re probably pretty and he’s an insecure prat who negs girls as part of his “knock them down a peg” flirting approach.

But he knew how I dressed before we went on a date so it wasn’t a surprise… he didn’t even compliment my body. He complimented my face. So I’m just a bit hurt but I think maybe he felt some type of way bc I wasn’t going to sleep with him.

Are you asking if he’s reacting to your first date in a negative way because you didn’t offer to have sex?

If that’s the case then no, that’s not negging
