ExpatInItaly Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Eh, it is hard to say without more context. For some, it's a significant signal that they want to get more serious. For others, it's just to remember a fun time. My cousin (46, male) has just ventured back into dating after his divorce and has shown me pics of him with a couple women he's casually seeing. He isn't serious about either one of them, and not looking for a relationship (and yes, he's been clear about that with them) It could go either way. Which way do you want it to go?

Daisydooks Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I see no harm after 6 dates! Ask her and go for it. 1 1
Blind-Sided Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 on a first date with someone you don't really know yet... yes that's strange. But 6 dates... I'd say you are heading to a point that is good, and it shouldn't have been a issue. With that said... the blind date I was set up on a couple months ago... my friend wanted a group pic. Even though it was my friend doing it... it felt strange to me. (Only met the other girl an hour earlier) Honestly... that may have been a point that put me into my issue. The next one is this 27yo I've been hanging out with. She, and a friend of mine decided I needed Snapchat on my phone, and after they got it set up, she pulled me close, and took a picture of us. She even labeled it as "It's us", and then sent it to everyone in the group. That one had mixed feelings. She was young, and cute... but since I'm out of a 20 year relationship... I was still unsure about it. Just wanted to throw out my feelings since I'm just getting back into the dating world.
Fletch Lives Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 LOL, it's perfectly natural to take pictures. People take more pics today than ever before because we all have a phone with built-in camera. As a matter of fact, it would be a good test - if she does not want a pic, either she does not like you or has issues. 3
alphamale Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 have you two had sex yet? if so then by all means snap as many photos you want 1
Ruby Slippers Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I think it's fun, cute, and sweet. In my experience, a man initiates photo-taking when he really likes you. One of the things that totally endeared me to my boyfriend is when we went on our first big vacation together over the holidays and he took LOTS of photos of me hiking in the mountains and other things. I generally don't like being in the spotlight, but he kept insisting on putting me there, and he took some really good pics of me. Very sweet 3 1
clia Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Seems okay on a sixth date. You can ask her casually "Do you want to get a picture together?" and see how she reacts. If she doesn't seem into it, then just move on. You didn't ask about posting the pictures on social media, so I assume that's a separate question you aren't asking about. 1
smackie9 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 6th date...photos....must be getting serious. 1
Miss Spider Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Sounds like a cute date idea Edited February 18, 2020 by Cookiesandough
Happy Lemming Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 When I first start dating my girlfriend, we had a similar "Botanical Garden" date, I took my digital camera along and snapped quite a few pictures. Later that week, I was getting some pictures printed by "Shutterfly" for a real estate project I wanted to document and needed a few more pictures to get to the next price break tier. So I included a few pictures from our Botanical Garden date. When the "Shutterfly" order arrived I gave the Botanical pictures to my girlfriend, who wrote a little description on the back of each one and mailed them to her mother (who was in a Nursing Home) You would have thought we sent the mother "gold", she was so excited to receive them. After that, I took my old digital camera everywhere we went, snapping pictures of my girlfriend at all manner of venues. We did a "Shutterfly" order every two weeks or so, when the order arrived, we attached labels on the back with date, description, etc and mailed to my girlfriend's mother. Her mother looked forward to receiving the package and spent hours each day going through the collection over and over again. The pictures brought her much joy. In conclusion, I vote for taking pictures, have them printed, share some and store some. A lot of people still enjoy receiving snap shots and store some for that "trip down memory lane"!! 4 1
Interstellar Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Get one of those cheap disposable film cameras as well. There’s something fun about waiting and anticipating how the pictures would look. Edited February 19, 2020 by Interstellar 1
Malin889 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 What is your reasoning for taking the pictures?
princessaurora Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 i'd say it's perfectly fine since you've been out 6 times already, plus you're going to a scenic place so it's only natural you would want pics 2
JTSW Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 It's perfectly fine if she is cool with it. Go for it.

Take a couple of pictures of the flowers. Then get her to pose for a picture. then take some selfies. It's all just part of living in the modern world. Stop over thinking it. If you would take pictures with a new platonic friend you can take pictures with a date. 2 1

I might just ask her directly - wanna take a picture? I think she'll be delighted by the suggestion.
Gr8fuln2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Eh, I can take it or leave it. I typically don't, but if I do, it's just for fun. Nothing that I am going to post on FB or any social media until I am absolutely certain she is the one. Just have fun with it!
