You\u2019ve just met this really cool person and you\u2019re having fun chatting&#8230;but you wonder, who&nbsp;<em>is<\/em>&nbsp;this person?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>StrangerMeetup is an anonymous chat room, but, sometimes you\u2019re ready to step out from behind the curtain and make more of a connection with a fellow Stranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a really exciting part of Stranger chatting. StrangerMeetup sets you up for a blind date. Then you have to actually ask this person out, aka, ask for a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s easier said than done. How do you approach this subject without sounding creepy?<br>Pro-tip: \u201ccn I haz a pic plz?\u201d is usually not the road to success here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how you politely request a photo from a Stranger in the chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #1: Understand You\u2019ll Have to Share, Too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you sure you\u2019re ready? Because when you ask for a picture&#8230;you\u2019re going to have to send one too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a recent, friendly photo of yourself to share? No? Snap one with your webcam or smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth saying: not everybody appreciates shots of your family blessings. I prefer not to receive that kind of photo until I have already seen someone\u2019s face. I usually exit a chat if my partner\u2019s first hello comes from underneath their underwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #2: Do This Before You Click \u201cRequest a Picture\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s pretty simple, really. Ask your chat partner nicely if you could both exchange pictures. Tell him you like to see the person you\u2019re chatting with because it makes the experience more meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to what I said above, err on the side of caution. Send a picture of your smiling face, first. See where it leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step #3: Flattery Will Get You Everywhere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay your chat partner a compliment! Sending a picture to a Stranger can feel a little scary. Let them know they have a cute smile, or really interesting wall art. Where were they hiking when someone took that photo? Etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I strongly recommend NOT saying, \u201cYou have such a good face for radio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that You Know the Etiquette&#8230;Try It Out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love exchanging photos with Strangers. So many interesting people are on StrangerMeetup and it\u2019s great to connect in a deeper way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you find me in the chatroom, Stranger, ask me politely for a photo, and I\u2019ll be happy to oblige.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stranger, have you ever been in chat and wanted to see what your chat partner looks like?
