To think these messages from my friend is bonkers?

My friend will send me pictures every couple of days, like a picture of her face captioned 'tell me how good I look' or a body picture captioned, 'what's that runrun, I'm looking rather skinny?' Or a selfie saying, 'isn't my skin positively glowing'. It actually is making me laugh writing that down, I'm not even kidding 😂

This is very odd right? What do I respond to these? So far I ignore.

This whole thread has me crying with laughter - the Amanda clip has tipped me over the edge 🤣 but the thought of a grown up woman sending those kinds of messages to someone she barely knows is hysterical.

I'd be tempted to go with thinking it's a come on and asking her of she wants a FWB type relationship.

@Hugoslavia

I would be tempted to tell her that, whilst you are very flattered that she is sending you flirtatious photos of her body and inviting you to admire her, you simply do not want to get into a relationship.
This. Or ask if she’s having some kind of breakdown.

I, too, instantly thought MLM. She'll offer to tell you her secret soon. Be sure to come back and tell us if she does, or whatever happens?

MimiDaisy11 · 10/06/2021 23:36

I'd ignore them. If it's someone you don't know I'd think they were having some kind of crisis and breakdown.

Send her this.
Please send this! I beg you.
PastMyBestBeforeDate · 10/06/2021 23:38

Get in first. Send her a Younique or Aloe selling picture saying "I love you take care of yourself. This product would compliment you so much!" Etc.

BlowDryRat · 10/06/2021 23:39

'Looking well sexy hun. Do you want to come + party with me & DH? WinkWink'

Prinzy · 10/06/2021 23:41

Send her one of just a close up of your face and ask ‘can you tell I’m doing a number 2’

@Whythesadface

Send her a photo of your foot and say worship my almighty foot.
This actually made me lol! I needed that, thank you! 🤣
MustardRose · 11/06/2021 00:14

Send her a photo of a fruit cake.

Ifeelyougirl · 11/06/2021 00:45

How about ‘yesss you’re looking incredible, loving your confidence today!’ And then send a picture back of yourself when you’re feeling good and show yourself some love too, friends are supposed to hype you up not tear you down😂!

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 11/06/2021 00:57

I want her to be my friend

User1357 · 11/06/2021 00:58

Maybe she’s just being jovial?

lotstolose1 · 11/06/2021 01:32

Tenner says she sells Avon / Body Shop / Juice Plus Blush

maybelou · 11/06/2021 01:58

@TwoBlondes

It sounds like she's channelling Amanda from Friends!
This is exactly what I thought!!
GertietheGherkin · 11/06/2021 02:17

@Bluntness100

Send her this.
Genuinely lol at this! 🤣
interest12 · 11/06/2021 02:17

Send the meme! Blocking or ignoring would be such a waste of meme

ApolloandDaphne · 11/06/2021 02:41

You definitely need to respond. I can't sleep and this thread has cheered me up.

OneMamaAndHerGirl · 11/06/2021 07:02

Or a selfie saying, 'isn't my skin positively glowing'.

'Actually, I think you look a bit tired and washed out. Is everything all right?"

Whythesadface · 11/06/2021 10:57

Next photo just tell her this.
Hey girlfriend, umh have you got my number mixed up with your dermatologist?
As your photos seems a bit weird.
