    Photo but no name
    Hi I need help finding a person who I saw and I don't know his name, I have a picture of him and to be honest I really want to get to know that person. He's from New Jersey. How do I find him? I don't know his name.

    I got it off his profile off christian mingle.com. My friend set me up with him but she doesn't know his name

    So contact Christian mingle, or contact him through Christian mingle.

    Finding a person when you only have a photo, you'd have a better chance winning millions in the lottery.

    Unless this photo is widespread on the internet, and online companies have scanned his photo, added it to their database, and identified the person in that exact photo, and you happen to find that one online photo scanning company, you're more likely to find a needle in a haystack.

    If he has a profile on Christian mingle, and you're interested in him, ask him for his name. If he doesn't give it to you, that's his choice, and his right.

    I don't pay to message on that site, so I can't ask him

    Put it this way. My avatar isn't me. It's a very popular picture online. See how easy it is to find online. Not easy at all. To this day I don't know who that person on my avatar is. I've found her picture on a few online places, but still have no idea who she is. And she's not just someone on one site, she's obviously a model, and that picture is widespread online, and well known. Still, who is she? I have no idea.

    Needle in a haystack when it comes to what you're asking.

    Then forget him and move on. Another option is to ask the person that tried to set you up with this guy, to message him. Obviously she has a membership to this site.

    If you are not willing to pay to message on a site, you do not want to know him very bad.

    I guess one option is to put his photo on your Facebook page and see if it picks up who he is...

    But there is no way to search and find his ID. And if there was, the cost would be much more than one month of a dating site fee

    Creepy... NEEDing to get to know someone who you have never met, and that might never want to meet you.

    Either give it up or pay to send them a message and find out if its really all that important for you to know.

    If you won't spend the money, then its really not that important to you. Because I think you know what you are going to find out... that they aren't interested.

    There are too many red flags waving on this one.

    You got the picture from his profile. But didn't get his name.

    Your friend set you up with him but she doesn't know his name or contact information. Is she a member of Christian Mingle?

    Keep in mind that even on the best dating sites there are people who set up fake accounts to 'chat' with individuals who are not their current partners.

    You can choose to join the site or you can decide that you are pursuing a fantasy based on a picture and move on.

    Personally, I would move on.
