I need a good way to ask for a better picture.

I'm thinking about meeting up with this girl online. She looks sexy but her pic is from the shoulders up. This makes me suspicious. how would the pros fix this?

Ask her if she has any bull body pictures...

One of the number 1 rules of meeting girls on myspace... ALWAYS leave yourself an out. You NEVER know if the girl is actually attractive... just an educated guess.

There are two ways you can handle this -

1) Ask her to send you more pictures, and if she says that she doesn't have any, then

2) Just go meet her for coffee. It doesn't have to be a long date, so if you don't find her attractive, you can go your separate ways and get on with your day. There is really no harm in this - you'll never know what she looks like for sure until you see her in person :)

Several ways to go about it...

Go straight up...

"You have got me really nervous about your pic...I can only
see shoulder up."

Go cocky / funny...

"You know...I'm gonna need to see at least 3 more pic's
before I decide to date you."

Go funny...

"You need to send me more pic's...think bathing suit...2 piece."

I could go on and on but any of these will work.

The great thing is...if she's into you she will jump thru this qualification
hoop or she will give you the reason (however weak it may be) why she
doesn't have / send more pic's. So you really can't lose...she sends you more
pic's and you find out what she's workin' with or you find out that she might be fat etc at which time you decide if you wanna continue.

Ultimately a quick 30 minute coffee isn't that bad. I have had meet and
greets to where LITERALLY they hadn't even gotten out of their car and I was
ready to run the other direction BUT I stuck it out...put in the 30 minutes
and heck..it's less than 10 dollars in coffee anyway.

I use "Surely you can do better than that!"

If you can get a better pic, great, but to be honest it doesn't mean a whole lot until you meet in person. You can get on well online and think each other looks attractive in their pictures, but you really don't know for sure until you meet up how you will get on. It's as simple as that. With any luck it will be a natural enough continuation of your online rapport. Be positive but be realistic, it's not always the same face to face.

The truth is that no matter how well you get on with someone online, all it really does is give you some additional conversation topics that you can discuss when you meet. You just don't know how the person will come across face to face and no amount of online chat will substitute meeting up.

Like the guys in the thread have suggested, just go for a quick coffee or something. It's low pressure and while you may be nervous, it's a short meeting and you can both go your seperate ways once you've finished, if necessary. I've met three girls from online dating sites and in each occasion it wasn't a case that each person felt differently. We either were both interested or both weren't interested.

yeah, just ask her for a better pic...the suggestions above are good ones. But it makes you look good to ask for a better pic so don't be shy about it...it makes you look discriminating and not desperate.

And I ALWAYS meet a chick just briefly for a quick lunch or coffee to start out. This is good if you aren't feeling it for her and can make a quick escape OR if you isn't into you and you don't have to suffer a few hours of rejection like on a dinner/movie date.

If you are having fun at the quick lunch, you can always invite her back to your place or go to the park or do something else. I've f'closed chicks this way many times...but it's worth it to meet them in person if they live close just so you can see what's up....always an adventure...
