I got chatting to a bloke on a chat site. We seemed to have things in common. Whilst I am not looking for someone to marry, he said he was. He said he really liked me Naturally I wanted to see what he looked like so I asked for a photo. He said he did not share his photo. After some persuasion we swapped photos. He said this is the only photo of myself i have and I usually look a lot better than this. I did not find him that good looking so i said can you take a selfie and send it to me if you dont have any other photos. He said no I do not take selfies. I began to get suspicious and thought that the photo he sent me was not of him so naturally he could not send any more and was lying. I did send him one of me which he liked. He then said to me I will make an exception because I like you and if you send me another one of you I will do a selfie and send you another of me. I said ok when. He said it will take a few days. I said it does not take a few days to take a selfie. It only takes a few seconds. He then said oh i do not have a smart phone so cannot take a selfie. So you will have to wait a few days before i can do it. I responded by saying I dont believe you you are just making excuses. First you say you have no photos and then you said you dont take selfies and now you say you cannot because you dont have a smart phone. He may genuinely not have a smart phone because I actually have a friend who does not have a smart phone but i find him very suspicious so i ended up by saying I think you are a scammer and not at all genuine. I also said if you are genuinely looking for a wife you would join a date site where you will find women who want marriage because you wont find them on a chat site and he said oh yes that is something i can do next year. he ended up by saying i have feelings for you and you are so nice. I said but you hardly know me and we have only chatted for three days. i then said I do not wish to speak to you again.

Okay

if the photo was genuiene he would have sent me another one. Another bloke ent me three photos of himself so you see if you get just one and they refuse to send any more then the one is not of them simple
