I 43m matched with her 40f in hinge.

After a few messages we exchanged phone numbers and I messaged on WhatsApp.

Her first reply was "hi, I can't see your picture"

Me: "cause I don't have one. Never had"

She: "weird, like talking to a ghost, hehe '

Now, I have no problems with putting a picture on WhatsApp but I don't like her attitude. It's my business if I don't have a profile pic in WhatsApp.

I didn't know what to reply. After a while I replied with

"Yes, this is my ghost haunting this phone πŸ‘»πŸ‘»πŸ‘»πŸ‘»"

Hoping a joke can change atmosphere and topic.

She: "I can't believe that, hehe"

Me: "you never saw someone without WhatsApp picture? I know people who have it and people who don't"

She: "100% of my contacts have it "

Me: "I didn't believe it was such an issue"

She: "not an issue. It's strange, hehe"

That was really annoying me but she's foreigner, from a not so developed country and mentioned she felt more secure in the UK than in her country. So I thought she was just not sure whether I trust me and no picture maybe was something dodgy for her. Plus she's an incredible hottie.

At the end I thought she's not asking for so much, just a WhatsApp pic. So, very reluctantly I added a picture.

Then said: "better now?"

She: "definitely. You're a handsome guy. Why hiding that?".

Me: "cause they would be thinking I'm showing off 🀣. Joking aside, no hiding, I just never thought about it"

The atmosphere shifted to a more relaxed tone and we started talking about her dog with cancer.

It really lasted 4 or 5 more messages, then she stopped replying. Since yesterday I still have to have a reply.

After she didn't reply for a whole day I asked "are you up for that coffee then?" We had talked about on hinge. No reply.

Honestly it makes me mad I went out of my boundaries, doing something I didn't want to do, only because I thought she wasn't feeling safe and after that, which I did only for her, I get ignored.

It's not a scam, she's a legit person. I can tell 100% as I have experience if fake profiles and they're not difficult to spot.

I'm wandering was that just a shit test? If yes I'm mad the double cause I would have passed it in any other context with girls even hotter than her. But I really thought it was a safety matter for her.
