A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hello! I just wanted to ask for some outside advice on a guy that I recently met. I'll start at the beginning. I work in retail,and he was at my work for a couple of days selling subscriptions to our customers. Pretty much every female,including myself,thought he was the most gorgeous thing to ever walk the earth.

First day,he asked how my day was going,and a few other things. Just very short conversations because I was working. I never thought anything of it,except that he was gorgeous. Second day,another worker was there with him. I noticed them looking my way a lot of times this day.

I went outside for a cigarette break,and 2 seconds later they came outside too. The guy from the first day asked if my day was going better today,and they both kind of started talking to me from there. They said they were going to this local sports bar tonight and said I should come. I Said that I couldn't because I had to pick up my kids after work. So after some more small talk,I told them I had to go back in. And the guy from the first day asked for my number. I of course was dying,because I felt I was completely out of his leauge. I mean,he's just so good looking,and I'm not ugly,but in my mind I would see him with one of those perfect looking trophy women.

So I gave him my number. He left before I got done working,and texted me about an hour after leaving. We have texted the last couple days since then. He says we really need to get together sometime,which I definetly would like to...but he hasn't said when yet. I'd go now if he asked! He lives an hour away though,which makes it complicated to just hang out I guess...but I feel like we should strike while the iron is hot,so to speak.

Yesterday though he asked me to send him pictures. Not naked pictures,but just asked if I would mind sending him a couple pics. So I did,and he sent me a couple of pics of himself as well. I don't really understand why he wanted pics? I mean yes,he told me that he thinks I'm extremely cute,and I admitted the same to him. But what would make a guy ask for pictures,from someone he really doesn't yet know very well? This is all weird to me because it's like this guy just kind of fell into my lap almost,and I can't help asking myself if it's too good to be true. He seemed very nice,mature,and well mannered when we spoke though.

He's the exact type that I always visioned in my head,like he's MY TYPE 100%. It's unreal. Do you see anything strange in all of this though? I don't know,my friends seem to think he's completely into me,which is great. I just don't want to get my hopes up in case things arent as they seem,but it might be too late for that....

A male reader, doublejack United States +, writes (12 July 2011):

I've done the same exact thing in similar situations. I'll meet a girl I am interested in, get her number, start conversations via text or calling, and then ask for a few pics. The reasons I do that are first so I have pics to show my friends. My friends are always interested in seeing the women I'm talking to and seeing. The second reason is so that I can set a pic in my phone with the contact - it adds a face to the name and number. That helps me look forward to receiving calls and texts.

It sounds to me like this guy is truly into you. Still, since you did just meet him you should be careful about setting expectations too high. You don't know what he's about yet. I'd take his request for pics as a good thing, though!
