[Blindtlk] Online Dating

[robin.beautifullyblind at ymail.com]

Good evening everyone,
    I am just writing to give you all an update. I decided not to meet the man to whom I initially asked the question about. However, I did end up talking to another man, who was in the same line as work as me. He lives out of state, and as a result, we talked for a couple of months before meeting. Since we built that connection, it was natural and comfortable when we met. I know there are two sides of the coin regarding pictures, but, yes, I did have his described to me by a friend. Actually, interestingly enough, when first talking, he was the one to ask me about my pictures, and the meaning behind them. So, this gave me the opportunity to ask him to do the same.
     I stand by what I said, you can tell a lot from a picture. In fact, 50 percent of communication is nonverbal; which includes body language. Anyway, I had a great weekend. Thanks again everyone for shedding insight on this topic.

Robin

Someone  to whom I have been talking to for a week and a half wants to meet for coffee. The problem is that he has no pictures on his profile and I don't know his last name. I am trying to play it safe. A picture says a thousand words about a person. So, my question, how can I ask him for a picture? Thanks in advance for your help!
