Has he gone off me because of one photo?

[Wingingit2047]

I've just gone back on dating sites after 6 months of being single. I was talking to this guy for a week loads, he asked for my number, we were getting on really well. Then I changed my WhatsApp picture to a normal photo I thought was nice of me and he's left me on read since last night. Normally messages back within half an hour. Has he gone off me because of a photo? Be kind please. Also should I message again? Last message didn't really have much to reply to but he could have asked how my evening was as he knew I was going out. I have the film "he's just not that into you" in my head. P.s I know it's only been a week of talking and if he doesn't message by this evening it'll be thank you NEXT

Maybe he has and maybe he hasn’t, maybe he’s been hit by a bus, maybe he’s on his way to yours now to propose, literally no one can answer this for you.

You shouldn’t be obsessing over an issue like this so quickly in to something, that way madness lies.

The whole “my text didn’t have a question in it” is nonsense - if he wants to reply he will.

Step away from your phone, have a bath and kindly, stop making up scenarios in your head!

Unless you look very different in the new photo then surely that's unlikely? Just best not to get too invested in someone when you don't really know them, so try not to focus too much on it. He'll likely be back in touch at some point and you can see how you feel then.

No one here can really tell you either way about if it's put him off.

But step away from your phone, don't message him. If he wants to speak to you he will. If he's so easily put off something from one little photo on WhatsApp he's clearly not worth wasting any more headspace on.

I wouldn't think it's to do with 1 photo. If it is then he must be pretty shallow! Just don't think too much into it and he'll likely reply. If he doesn't it's his loss. Sunday nights and Monday mornings can be quite hectic too.

Maybe.

None of us know.

But, tbh, I have definitely been browsing on line and people have one or two photos up that are extremely flattering (not necessarily filters, just photos that are absolutely best angle/light) and then another which is more actually representative.

It could easily be because of the photo. It could also be because he’s busy or something has happened or he’s ill.

Unfortunately online dating does tend to make people treat each other as disposable, as if they’re selecting an item from a restaurant menu rather than engaging with a human being with feelings and emotions.

Definitely don't message again
Men love the chase psychologically speaking...let him chase you - never seem too keen (I made this mistake many many times in my dating years and learned the hard way) appear busy, not like you are sitting waiting for his messages 😉

Was the previous photo more filtered? If he has gone off you based on a more realistic photo of you then I would be glad, better now than when you turn up for a date, keep your more true to life photo up and the right person will come along 😊

If you really think that one photo change could make him ghost you then I think you e had a lucky escape.

This a million times.

What do you mean changed 9t to a normal photo. Is there a big difference between the old photo and the new one?

Oh zombie thread

Zombie thread but yes he completely ghosted me 🤣
