Dick Pic Comment Just Before 1st Date

BrokenWingsCantFly · 17/04/2026 19:34

I have been talking to this guy for nearly 2 months. He does shifts. We had a date planned a few weeks back, but he cancelled due to sickness. Tomorrow is our 1st free day to get that 1st date in. I was so looking forward to it but now I'm getting doubts.

He seems exactly what I am looking for. Good job (as do I), good looking, taller than me, seems to have the same views on many topics, we seem to have the same humour, both of us not really into nights out any more. Both close to family and want to do the same type of holidays.

I also liked that he didn't try to do sex talk. Which I have told him before I am glad about as I like to have got to know someone 1st and be actually physically involved with them before that. He sounded like he agreed. Well a few weeks on, last weekend we had both had a drink at home alone, and we got onto subject about pics. He said do I want him to send and almost nudes pic and he said not dick pics lol. He sent a photo of naked but covered his dick. I could tell it wasn't recent, but by god did he look hot and I told him so. Sent bikini snaps from holidays in exchange which are so PG they are on my Facebook.

Well anyway last night we had chats again as we have had every day, and he got a bit suggestive, we stuck to mild sex chat but nothing too explicit, then I said I need to sleep as had work in the morning. He said at the start of the night he was having a drink that night. I look at my phone in the morning and he had said goodnight, but then tried to continue the sex chat and ended with a message of its own saying he was going to send a dick pic never mind.

This has thrown me, I liked who he was to this point and he hadn't tried this sort of thing before last night. Why wait until just before we meet after all this time. He know my thoughts on nude photos, knew I was opposed. Maybe he meant it as a joke or a disappointment I cut off chat to go to sleep? I'm very black and white about this stuff, think autism contributes towards that thinking, but is this a me being too black and white or a pushing boundaries he knew about sort of thing?

After his cancellation last time, tomorrow was already down as a decision day. My worry now is nude photos are just not what I like. I know some people are into it and that is fine but they would not be suitable to me. If he sent photos to exes he had loved i could just pretend it didn't happen, but if he is sending photos to other girls he hasn't even met, then I don't want to be with someone who does this. Thinking if we got together, then many random strangers would have been having photos of my man. Yuk.

I messaged him back around lunchtime making a joke of it saying haha I don't want dick pics, then changing the chat. He hasn't read it since. But I know you can do preview of chats so maybe he thinks I'm too prude anyway

Hang on, I don’t think you blurred any lines. Pictures of you in a bikini that you’re happy to post on social media is way different to him sending you a dick pic. You told him you didn’t want explicit photos but he decided to push back (doesn’t matter if he was having a drink, that’s no excuse). Please don’t start to doubt your boundaries. If he doesn’t get back to you today then I would be proactive and block him.

JazzyAmbs · 17/04/2026 19:59

I think he meant it as a joke. Not particularly funny. Not sure why men think we need to see this or that they look visually attractive! (Said as a straight sexually active woman - I just think they are fucking ugly - like an angry worm as my doctor friend once described!)

…so he didn’t actually send a picture ?

No he didn't. Dont think he would without my permission. My worry is that Iif i said yes when we havnt even met, he might have. So how many people would have his dick pics.
That thought grosses me out

Hold on, did he actually send a dick pic? I get the impression he didn’t? Seems like he was a bit drunk and just being silly.

No he didn't. I had already said I'm going to sleep. He said a few messages back then said and i was going to send a dick pic never mind. It was at the point of chat seemed to be leading sexual, I give a little around sure we would have fun and maybe 1 day. Not wanting to get involved with it going too far, but at the same time not wanting to seem like I don't think about sex at all. I thought I done it just right. Then followed with the going to sleep now to shit it down. Dont know if the 'I was going to send a sick pic' was a message to get me back into it, or if it was a joke, or if it was a suggestion that he thought maybe i was running away from the mild sex chat, as in I was hardly going to do that but you ran off

Pretty sure, what makes you think that?

Two months and he's not had time to meet up???

logiccalls · 17/04/2026 19:46

Sending such pictures, uninvited, is legally an offence.
However, it was common practice, and a lot of men/boys will have done it in the past. As others have said, you have confused the boundaries by your response.

Are you absolutely sure he’s not married?

Might be alone in thinking this but I think when you were happy with him sending the photo of him baring all (bar his dick) you blurred the lines a bit.

Yeah I'm thinking that, but in the chat around that though I did say I wouldn't be sending anything but a holiday bikini pic back, and he said don't worry not a dick pic and I said Good. But you got me thinking I should have just said no to the almost naked pic too

I would be interested to know if you do end up meeting him OP, given you’ve been talking for 2 months and he cancelled the last time due to illness…

PurpleDiamond34 · 17/04/2026 19:40

It's instantly gives me ick when guys I've chatted to, or not at at all, turn suggestive or sexual. Puts me off and I think it's gross, because they will clearly be doing that with anyone and everyone and I think it's predatory behaviour so early on. You've said you don't like it and he obviously thinks he is an exception to the rule. Massive red flag.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 17/04/2026 19:39

I think I would throw this one back, but you confused matters because you encouraged the first naked photo. He was always going to keep pushing your boundaries.

Periandtired · 17/04/2026 19:38

He's breached a boundary you set. It may be nothing but it could be testing to see what he can get away with. You could still go on the date and see what he's like in person, but you'll need to be careful with this one and make sure he doesn't continue to push.
