- You don’t have to respond to a guy’s picture. If you’re uncomfortable, not sure what to say, or not interested, you can ignore it to get your message across.Thanks
- If a guy won’t stop sending explicit photos and you identify his behavior as sexual harassment, block his number, report his profile to the dating app he’s using, or take appropriate legal action to put a stop to the behavior.Thanks
