I like to chat.
It’s easier to write
than it is to talk.
That is why dating online
is perfect for me.
A while ago, I was chatting
with a guy named Henrik.
We wrote to each other every day.
He was funny
and he wrote nice things to me.
One day he sent me a sexy picture
of himself.
He was naked.
He wrote that I should send him
a sexy picture of me.
I took a few selfies with my phone
and sent them to Henrik.
He said I should
take off more of my clothes.
I did not know if I wanted to.
But it still felt
kind of exciting.
So I did it.
In the end, I was naked.
When I sent the pictures
Henrik wrote
that he wanted us to meet up.
I thought things were moving too fast,
so I said no.
Then Henrik wrote that he would
post the pictures online
if I didn’t meet him.
It felt like a punch to the stomach!
I didn’t want it to be like this.
The pictures were only supposed to be for Henrik.
I had thought he was cool.
I didn’t trust him anymore.
My friends helped me
write a text message to Henrik.
We wrote that we would
report him to the police
if he kept writing to me.
Then he stopped writing.
I want to continue dating online.
But I want to know more about the person
before I send a picture again.
You get to decide
if you want to send
nude pictures to someone.
If someone spreads nude pictures
of you against your will,
you should report it to
the police.
If you want to send pictures,
send them to people
who you know and trust.
If you are unsure,
you can wait
to send a picture.
