Question - (26 October 2014) 2 Answers - (Newest, 26 October 2014)
A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

OK, so I've been talking online to this woman for a month and a half now, she's who she says she is (sent me an email from her own personal domain). She's kind and seems like a good person, lives about an hour from me by road.

However, now she's asking for a photo of me. She sent me a picture of herself, even though I didn't ask her for it, I thought to myself... bit early to ask for pics, get to know her first

I was wondering, is it better for me to send one that's of me in a crowd scene on my local newspaper's site (well, not really a crowd scene as such, more a group of revellers, I'm next to them but was not the focus of the article, even though I was named along with other local residents - it was a 'festive frolics' type article.) than a proper posed picture or "selfie"?

Because it's on a public site, the local newspaper, does that make it any better as a way to prove who I am?

Also, when meeting in person, who is it best to tell first? My parents or a friend? I'm temporarily living at home with them until I move in to my new place in 3 weeks time.

Needing advice from you guys.

IMO - any full bodied pic, fully clothed, of course. :)

Who you tell first, or if you tell anyone at all, would be whom you're comfortable telling.

If you two decide to meet face to face, wishing you luck. Hope all goes well.
