SJC2008 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Been messaging a woman online and has transitioned to text. She offered her number first and said I can text her. We've been texting a couple days and tonight she asked for a picture for my contact info. Would this turn you off? I'm thinking we haven't even been on a date yet and my pics gonna pop up on her phone when I text her. Given she offered her number and asked for this pic I'd say she's clearly on the rebound. Thoughts?
ThaWholigan Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Seems fairly inocuous - I don't think I would think anything of it.
Author SJC2008 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 If you haven't already, get her pics first. Yeah I got her to give hers first.
ScreamingTrees Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I don't think I'd think too much of it either. Can't really harm you.. I mean, do you have public photos on your facebook? Do you think she's going to somehow use your photos for illegal purposes? If you're not worried about that, why would you care what she truly wants them for, then? Can't hurt you.

Right it's nothing that could hurt me but it seems forward. I try to flip things around to guage my judgement and there's no way I'd ask a woman I haven't met yet for a pic for my phone. We don't even know if we'll want a second date.
c57dood Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Well in that case if she already sent you hers, it's only fair you send her yours.
Author SJC2008 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Well in that case if she already sent you hers, it's only fair you send her yours. I did... Of course I took up on the oportunity to flirt! 1

Thoughts? This exact thing happened to me 2 days ago! We're doing our first meet up tomorrow. To answer your question, it wasn't a turn off at all. I sent her a pic and she sent me some. No harm no foul.
Author SJC2008 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Mabye I'm too jaded from OLD? I was a rebound for the last woman I dated (partially my fault though) and she gave her # first and initiated a lot of contact. This one has already initiated twice since my first initiation last night. I just don't want to be attention for someone.
Lani Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Why does it make you say she's clearly on the rebound? Jumping to conclusions much? As a woman, I probably wouldn't ask this. But, many women are obsessed with their phones these days, and this sort of thing is pretty normal. Don't overthink it.

Thoughts? hahahahaha! I know this one!!! It's so she doesn't get you mixed up with the other guys she's chatting to You put their pic with their no so it is always there when you text/ring. Saves dramas when you inevitably say the wrong thing to the wrong guy I do it all the time!! 5
Author SJC2008 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 I don't know guys? I initiated the first text Saturday and she's initiated first ever since. Daily contact before a first date? I'm going with rebound or stage 5.
creighton0123 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 A couple of days of texting? Why? Pick up the phone, do some voice to voice, and plan a date. 1
ltjg45 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I don't see any harm in this. I would just give it to her. It's no big deal.

Author SJC2008 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 A couple of days of texting? Why? Pick up the phone, do some voice to voice, and plan a date. Yeah but I'd rather meet on the date first before talking on the phone. It's practically a blind date already given we met online and for me talking to someone I've never met (dating wise) is awkward.
ForeverHopeful1 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I am having a hard time figuring out why this means a woman is on the rebound. She wants to know what you look like. It seems harmless and I would give it to her. When I am speaking with someone, I would much rather put a face to a name. Go for it, Buddy!!! This doesnt scream "Im in rebound mode." Or not IMHO 1
Video Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Sounds like shes just interested in you. You must be doing a good job. Keep it up!
Archgirl Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Nice projecting your own social inadequacies to the OP's question. No wonder why you are still single. Ummm? WTF? That's random. What social inadequacies? Who said i didn't want to be single? Its pretty awesome. Actually, how the hell did you know I was single... That's kinda creepy

Star Gazer Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Why would this make you think she's obviously on the rebound? 1
Archgirl Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Nice projecting your own social inadequacies to the OP's question. No wonder why you are still single. Oh wait. I got it. It's you again Capt. Still breakin my heart I swear OP all my friends do the contact pic thing too. If we're not serious with anyone we are usually mildly flirty texting with a couple of guys before we decide which one we like best and actually want to date more. But guys hate that and they get really cross when you send them a message meant for someone else. So you add their pic to help avoid mix ups. So don't everyone get all pissy at me, I'm giving you the girl secrets.
Author SJC2008 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Why would this make you think she's obviously on the rebound? She offered me her number two days after messaging her on the site. After I initiated the first text she's initiated ALL contact since, the aforementioned pic in the OP. We haven't had a 1st date yet. How does this not scream rebound/I need attention?
Author SJC2008 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Reverse the roles ladies. You meet a guy online, haven't had a date yet. He texts every day and asks for a pic for his phone. Sometimes I think people here just want to go against the grain for the sake of it.
