If you don't have a single outdoor pic then forget about okc and dating for now, you'd habe bigger issues to solve first.


I do, but none of them are at angle that faces me, there all pics of the side of my face or the back of my head.

Although it's honest, a girl is going look at that and think "baggage" before she even gets to know you. I'd also try and come up with a few jokes to replace some of the generic answers in "you should message me if" and "I spend a lot of time thinking about."


I must somehow have skipped those parts or something, but now that you mentioned it - Yes those should def be deleted

If you absolutely must use that particular photo, you should at least crop it to reveal as little of your surroundings as possible:

I've cropped it for you to show what I mean.

It is now not quite as obvious that you are taking a self-portrait in a public toilet. 8O

I hope you don't mind me posting the cropped photo here. If you do, let me know and I will remove it.

^^^. Yes, cropping is a good idea. If you crop it a bit more, it looks much less like a public toilet.

I ended going with this pic it's one of me and my sister's dog. It was either this or one with me and my nephew.

The one with the dog is MUCH better. I can think of few worse places for a picture than a public men's restroom. Actually scratch that, I can't think of any worse places at all.
