So I emailed a photo of me to the guy I have been emailing. He emailed me one of him. In the email I sent after receiving his photo I complimented him by saying "look good in that suit". HE NEVER SAID one thing about my picture. Don't you think that is odd? I mean usually you say something, especially when someone compliments you.

Did he not say anything, as in no reply? Or did he reply but not mention the picture? I wouldn't read too much into it. He might not know what to say because you are talking in email and whatever he wrote sounded funny. I never knew what to say after getting someone's picture. If I liked the picture, I just kept talking to the person. If he's still wanting to meet after seeing yours, take it as a good sign. Have you talked about meeting yet?

To everyone: Don't forget about the OT folder, I have a post down there :)

He wrote back, but did not mention anything about the picture. Which I think is weird. I'll try not to read much into it. He has not mentioned meeting in person yet.

Yeah, I guess I'd feel a little weird about it too. But like the other poster said, if you're interested in him, try not to let this ruin it by reading too much into it. Men are rather thick skulled at times (which we all know) and can be rather dense about returning compliments or even remembering to give them.


Let us know how it goes!

If he wrote back that is good. Try not to take any of this too personally - if he asks you out that is great and if he doesn't - too bad for him.

A lot of guys just don't know what to say when they get a picture so they say nothing. Also, they have funny taste and if you don't do it for him that is not your fault.

Yeah, I know all about that. I tell Shane all the time he looks nice when he leaves for work. But he is hardly ever telling me I look good. I try to remember that he loves me and that's he's just a guy. The other night, NYE, I went out to his aunt's ahead of him so I could have more time to spend with the cousins I never met and to eat some dinner and I dressed in a nice burgundy button up shirt and black skirt with my black knee high stretch boots. (yeah still wearing those heels) and everyone gushed over how cute I looked when I got there. The Shane got there and came over for a kiss and said, "You're wearing a skirt?" I thought that was kinda weird and his cousin's wife, Lisa said, "yeah and she looks amazing tonight, I think." THen he said, "Yeah, she looks damned good, I was just shocked to see a skirt." But would he had complimented me if she hadn't first? Maybe....maybe not. We'll never know.

Men are weird!

LOL!!!


OFTEN, I will go somewhere with J, dressed up. And he'll say NOTHING (unless I specifically say to him "you look nice") and I'll get compliments from family/friends/co-workers as soon as we go through the door. And they get a very gracious happy "Thank you SO much!" from me...moments later, J will usually lean over and say "you do look wonderful, honey" LOL

LOL! My ex was a doornob when it came to compliments, even if someone asked him if he thought I looked nice, he'd reply, "yeah, I guess." LOL

My new guy however, tells me I look nice if he thinks it, so it's a big change for me, and taking a while to get used to.

I have done some online dating in the past, and maybe I'm weird, but I always hate it if the guy comments on my picture. Actually, it's only if he seems too impressed by it. I just worry that he's viewing the photo the way that he wants to see it and I'd rather he not build his expectations so high.
I don't make a huge deal over photos in those situations because of what I've just said. If I like the look of him, I'll usually try to give him a subtle compliment. I might compliment his tie or make a comment about a dog or a child who might be in the photo with him, or maybe just ask him where it was taken. I guess I've always felt that it was obvious I like the photo...I'm still talking to him!
Ok....I know that this might not be the popular thought, but that's my opinion. Maybe that's how this guy feels too. I wouldn't worry about him not complimenting you too much. Wait and see how things go.
Good luck!
