Internet Dating Textetiquette Texting Tip #5 for Singles: TMI Photo Sharing

You might think that I wouldn’t have to mention this.  However, I have encountered this so often I simply have to bring it up.

When the two of you met at an online dating site, perhaps a fun social networking site like MySpace or Facebook, the two of you clicked and had chemistry for an online relationship.

And you’re attracted to each other and have agreed you two want to meet for a first date.  Perhaps you plan to share a glass of wine or a cup of coffee.

You’re both being sweet, mature, and only just that fun little touch of flirtatious.

Tee hee.  Tee hee.  And you’ve exchanged email addresses.  Giggle. Giggle. And have agreed to your first meeting place for your first date.  More tee hee giggles and flirting.

And then it happens.

You’re sharing about each other with each other.  Tee hee.

And you open the email he sent you and you see there is a photo attached.  Oh my, how exciting!

More photos to see and share of each other!  What fun!  Um, but, err, ah, the digital photo he just sent you is not quite the additional image you would have thought a complete stranger where you two are thus far sharing merely only a PG rated exchange would think to send you!

And the digital photo attachment starts to resolve.  You start to catch a glimpse of what he’s sharing with you and your jaw just drops as you start to realize what he is sharing with you.  I mean we are all adults here.  Eyes bug out.  Jaw slack and agape.

So too much too soon way too soon in the online relationship you two have only loosely just begun to establish.

Who knows now if you two will ever even meet.

What is even worse, I am shaking my head in my hands right now, some of the people, because they met at Facebook, even share the same professional industry and some of the same extended professional colleagues.  WHAT were they thinking to share those photos?

Good thing the other single had too much professionalism, tact, and class to DO anything with the photos other than to delete them immediately.  But oye! if you’re wondering what COULD have happened, then just go take a look at the heartache Jennifer Lopez suffered with her former husband in her tape scandal.

Don’t do it!  TMI way too soon!

Happy Dating and Relationships,
