Hiya Niko A lot of people have already given you some very good advice and I can't add much more to it. Putting myself in your shoes in reference to communicating with someone without a photo, I would be skeptical with meeting them. The bottom line is, you should follow your instincts.
Whether ocal or long distance, you should bea ble to see a picture and have a name. Then Skype with the person. You are fightig the want to throw caution to to caution to the wind. If things check out the the fun can begin. If not, there are plenty of other women that are honest.
Nikogas: Okay, I have been here long enough to know better but I think I need to be reminded. What do you think is a reasonable series of events before you meet in person or the chat deal? One for long distance and another for someone that is close enough to just meet locally.
I don't want to even begin but I will put my ideas up as well. Things like what if there is no photo and when do you give out a phone number. maybe this will help others too. But I am asking for myself. Thank you everyone. Niko
Nikogas: Yes, Kid always has good advice. But it is this one situation that has just made me wonder what the heck. If I was talking with you and we were living pretty close but everytime you asked me to post a pic just for fun and later out of a more stronger curiosity and I told you that You have nothing to worry about because I am confident in myself and you will like my looks. Now, I know that in the past you and I don't always see things the same but would you feel a bit odd in this person making that choice for you? Granted you have no obligation to meet them at all except maybe you are hoping there might be a spark on your side as well. And just for the record, I have met many women in my salon days that are very confident but as far as attraction, I had none for them. So for me I still like to make up my own mind. Maybe it is even a strange control issue where the person seeks to make up your mind for you. Or maybe they do not want their husband to see them LOL....I dont know. What do you think Jac?
This makes me suspicious Niko...It has red flags all over it. There is no reason in this day and age NOT to send a pic. Try suggesting skype thats impossible to fake. If you have been talking for a week or so, suggest a date face to face...Good luck sweetie! ;-}
langleygirl: Dobe I was thinking that you had written this drivel and then I realized that you were quoting another! I was thinking to myself OMFG does she really think this way?
Langley sorry - l am glad you caught that. No, l certainly don't think that way. I only wish a woman will appear and put him in his place. He is not a friend to women and l doubt he even knows of our power.

Well for me 2 of the options are easy to answer.
I dont answer mail from guys with no picture up and my profile says so. I dont believe on long distance relationships, so thats not going to happen.
If I am chatting on here to someone and we seem to have things in common I prefer to meet up sooner rather than later, that includes exchanging phone numbers and texting and calling each other. The quickest I have met someone in person is 48 hours, I woudlnt be willing to wait weeks.
Just want to say thanks for people giving their feelings on this issue. As for me I think I will be adding a few lines to my profile. Either that or simply extinguishing it for a bit. LOL, but then that is nothing new. Hopefully no one was too upset by what some members said, I know that in the areas of Love concerns many people have had different experiences and though some are quite optimistic others have become bitter or sad. But for this thread I am glad to see everyone as long as no one got hurt. If any bad hurt than I will sooth your pain. LOL, yep, a real angel.
