[Blindtlk] Online Dating

You make a valid point Ray, and I have talked to him on the phone, but I feel a picture is a necessity too. Is he frowning, looking mean, or is he smiling, like his persona is portraying. Just trying to take as many precautions as I can :)

Believe me, you can tell way more about a person just by listening to what they say:  and, much more importantly, the way they say what they say.  As a vinyl record I once heard in my childhood says,

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!
