You should ask for a picture as soon as you feel the need to.
If you have been chatting with a girl on an online dating site who doesn’t have a profile picture, there is nothing wrong with you asking her for one if you feel the need.
If you have a profile picture of yourself on the dating site, you have demonstrated an openness to show what you look like.
You may have not cared so much that this girl that you are chatting with on an online dating site didn’t have a profile picture initially.
Perhaps, you liked what she wrote or included in her dating profile so much that you just decided to chat with her anyway, even without a dating profile picture present.
However, if you are beginning to really wonder about what she looks like to the point that you are thinking about how and when you should ask her for a picture, there is a good chance that you need to have this information now.
It wouldn’t be wise to delay the need to ask her for a picture any further.
The longer you continue chatting with her on an online dating site without knowing what she looks like, the more invested you become in someone that you may not even be physically attracted to.
Being that you have already been chatting with this girl for some time, you can go about asking her for a picture by simply telling her that you would love to know what she looks and would like for her to send you a picture.
Be polite about it.
Again, if she already knows what you look like because you already have a dating profile picture, it would only be fair for her to also give you an idea of what she looks like.
It is not like you would be asking for anything that you haven’t already shown a willingness to give or present.
As long as you are respectful in your request and she is a genuine person, she should acquiesce to your request and send you a picture.
The time really is now.
You shouldn’t allow yourself to spend much more time chatting with this girl that you met on an online dating site unless you get her to send you a picture of herself.
Again, continuing to chat with her without having a picture of her may make you invest even more time and effort on someone who you may not even be physically attracted or who may not even be who they have led you to believe that they are.
When you ask for a picture, make sure that you ask for it right then and there.
In other words, don’t make the mistake of telling her that you would love to see a picture of her sometime.
This is too vague and it allows her to procrastinate in providing you with a picture of herself.
Instead, be more definitive in how soon you want that picture.
Ask her to send you a picture of herself as you are communicating with her. In other words, in real time, right there and then.
This is not a demanding request.
After all, with the smartphones that we all carry these days, she can simply find a photo in her phone that she can send you or take a quick photo of herself right there and then.
Asking for her picture in this way helps you protect yourself and your time.
If, perhaps, she tells you that she will send you one later and you happen to go for days without receiving it, you would know that she is most likely playing you.
At this point, it would be best to stop chatting with her and move on.
