[Blindtlk] Online Dating

Thank you Arielle and Bonnie! Arielle, you bring up a good point about the physical description. I read an article about how a man who was blind  would weave out prospects based on their physical appearance. He would pretty much size them up when hugging them. He could tell how tall they were, weight, hair length, etc. Yes, sight or not, we do have preferences, but it's important not to let that prevent you from getting to know the person.

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!
