Why won't my boyfriend take a picture with me?

[Anonymous]

my boyfriend tells me he doesn't like pictures so he doesn't take them with me but he takes them with other girls? I don't understand

I had a boyfriend like that. Just ask him to take a picture with you. Not too often. Like if you go to a special place then take a picture but not 30. Tell him you want to have a picture to remember this moment. Stress how much you like other pictures you took with him, put them up in your locker or room, etc. If he knows how much you like the picture he would probably take more. that, or get your parent to take it. Boyfriends won't usually say no to the GF's parents haha!

ps I accidentally put this as a comment to the anonymous girl's answer. This is the first question I've answered so I screwed it up... :/

He probably has his reasons, and I'm thinking he could just be insecure about his appearance. If you think about it, that picture of you both would be kinda important to you. He probably thinks that you'll show it to everyone, your mom, your friends, or set it as your wallpaper. Honestly, he's probably just intimidated by the idea. Also, if you're way more attractive than he is he could just not want to be compared. I don't know your boyfriend, or your age, but he could just be intimidated by the idea of having a girlfriend, or concerned about his appearance.. If I were you I'd ask.

My first reaction was maybe he's embarassed about you.

But then I realized that's silly. I would say take it up with him and ask him face to face what the reason behind the apparent hypocrisy is.

Chances are you just aren't pushy enough and he genuinely just doesn't like the way he looks in photos in which case you shouldn't force him

My first thought is he's distancing himself from you. So that if needed he can just disappear like he never existed. I don't like pictures of myself either, but whatever, I still have pictures of me out there, and I still have (or had) a few with my (current and former) girlfriend(s). Anyway I don't think this is a good sign.
