I recently got in touch with a girl who I knew back in grade school. She emailed a picture of herself to show what she looks like now, but the picture is two years old and is taken with her ex-boyfriend that she has been broken up with for a year and a half.

Does it sound like she could still be hung up on him?

Thanks for your help.

I think it depends.

IF she sent you the photo and said "oh well this is the only one I have, my dumbass ex is in the photo, just ignore him" then ya know, probably good to go!

BUT

IF she sent the photo and was like "this is when me and Wally went to this amazing dinner, the moon was full and omg it stays with me forever" then uhhhh you may have a problem.

LOL!

Seriously, she may have just sent that one photo to you because in her mind it was the best one of HER it may have nothing to do with the ex or trying to give you any hidden message.

I would probably ask her about it in a casual way.

Does it sound like she could still be hung up on him?

No. Sounds like you are.

It was probably the best picture she had. I was always wary of people that sent me such old photos. Maybe she's gained some weight?

More than likely, she thought "Ooh! This is my thin picture" and sent it.

Or maybe it was just the only picture she had on her computer... not everyone has a digital camera or scanner.

I dunno ... but sounds a little odd to me. Even if she didn't have any other picture on hand, she could have cropped him out. You're just not supposed to send pictures of ex's to people you're interested in.

Was the ex a GQ model or something?

The guy is attractive, but not a GQ model. He is really good looking though. She didn't say anything about the guy except "this is me and my ex, M***." No positives or negatives.

It could be the only one she has, but like wolvesbaned said, I would have cropped my ex out of the picture. Maybe she is too computer illiterate to know how to crop?

I appreciate any ideas.

Sad, but this is likely true. Tell her to send you a current pic.
