I've been chatting, emailing, talking on the phone for about 3 weeks with a super nice guy that I felt very comfortable with. We're getting along great and I'm excited that I've found a potential partner. We've planned on meeting next weekend and were exchanging new photos last night. I wake up this morning to see that my buddy has sent me a picture of his penis. I was immediately uncomfortable. I thought he was a great guy but what was he thinking? What, if any, should my response be? I'm so disappointed.

Block his email address and move on.

Always easier said then done though.

Isn't that lovely! I would send an email back to him. Saying flowers would've been nicer. I'm sorry but I just don't think it's a good idea to meet.

It will not do you any good to block his emails since he has your phone #.. unless you want to block him all around.

I'm sure you'll get some crazy response with a ridiculous story, so if the picture didnt make ya laugh maybe the story will.

Wow! I'd definitely close, block and move on. Sorry for your disappointment.

I think 3 weeks of communication is only enough to see part of a person's personality. It's not long enough for a lot of aspects to show up.

Could eH have an appropriate close message for this situation?

Reason for close:

I want to pursue other matches at eHarmony who haven't exposed themselves to me.

I would rather not see my match's privates before we've even met.

Based on pictures sent to me, I'm not interested in this match.

Thanks for the advice. I'm still in shock. I like your statement Capt Crunch "Isn't that lovely". I had to laugh. He has since written and apologized and he's extremely embarrassed. Ha, too late now. I will always think of him as the one who sent the "not so lovely" picture of himself. Thanks Ya'll.

These are a riot! If eH doesn't have one of these, they need to get it!

I'd block his email and notify EH of his actions, if that's how you met him....
I'm sure that they'd want to know about it.
He's probably sending it all over the place.

Hmmm islandrain.....just how magnificent was this penis ?

Tragically, some men are morons. I am frequently embarrassed by my gender.
