Ive just started online dating. Im not a walk over or a fool, but in response to a wink, he asked me 'Why no photo?' I replied I had just created an account and he then sent me his number to send him a photo. I declined and said that I dont randomly give out my number and could we chat a bit first?? H then said 'I'm not chatting to a mystery. Upload a photo . What do you think I am?'

What would you do/say??

'What do you think I am?'
My instant response without any thought would be 'an arse. Fuck off'
I'm glad I'm past it, sounds horrible.

And..

I gave you my number now if I don't like the look of you. We block the numbers. It's easy. I'm not replying anymore Without a photo

He sounds utterly charming.

He does! Hes a catch - never married, no kids. Hard to please I think! I don't think I need to go on 'chatting'

I'll say:
Nah, I don't need to boost anyones ego by trying to impress them! I'll give it a 'No Thanks'

Good luck

There must be hundreds of men on this dating site. Why ever are you engaging with this one? Raise your standards, you can do way better than this!

or:-

No don't worry. It all seems like too much hard work. And to be fair, you winked at me without a photo, and I was alright then...

I think he could be a good match for you to be honest.

HellonHeels · 06/10/2015 21:34

Please don't! Just block him and chat to some others.

Oh god, why on earth would you let a complete stranger talk to you like that? Also, you say he's single etc, but actually you know nothing about him. OLD sites draw liars to them faster than jam pots draw wasps. He sounded irritable, aggressive and rude. Watch out for those traits - they don't save them for messages. That's what they're really like.

RedMapleLeaf · 06/10/2015 21:40

Seriously, why did you engage with him at all?

MissApple · 06/10/2015 21:42

I dont know why I did, I just thought he looked nice! But thats why OLD doesnt work - you need eyes across a room. Maybe its just not for me

Intuition is your friend, MissApple. You knew something wasn't right from the start, or you wouldn't have posted here. Next time you get that feeling, you can trust it and walk away/ignore immediately.

I think you should go and put a fake name and address with his phone number into a payday loans provider or three and let the arrogant fucker's phone blow up with calls and texts for the next 2 months.

ILiveAtTheBeach · 06/10/2015 22:56

He wants to know he's attracted to you, before he spends days on end exchanging messages! Perfectly reasonable! For all he knows you could be Dawn French with an extra side of Love Handles!
