Not here for dating
Hello.
I was in touch with a contact in order to set up a language exchange.
Whereas we should plan our first Skype call, she/he asks me to send a real picture because my Italki profile picture is "so freaky" according to she/he.
Note : My current profile picture is an artistic and distorsed picture of me. And I like it.
My response was "no", that's not the purpose of the deal (I was thinking about dating). And, another point, with my other language partners we have only audio calls, no video calls. And we are all satisfied to make it this way. I was waiting for her/his decision.
She/He answers that if I don't want to send to her/him a real picture of me, it's probably because I'm a "scammer" and she/he quits the conversation.

Interesting topic! Remember, you are telling us about something that took place in the past so all your verbs should reflect this. It's true that colloquially you could narrate it in the present but then all your verbs would have to agree... your writing is a mixture. What you wrote is perfectly understandable (and funny) but the tenses are all over the place.
1st paragraph: When we were planning our first Skype call, she asked me to...
"Whereas" is confusing because this is a narrative of something that took place in the past.
2nd paragraph: My response was "no", that WASN'T the purpose of the deal (I was thinking about dating). And, another point: with my other language partners, we have only HAD audio calls, no video calls. And we WERE all satisfied to DO it this way. AND THEN I WAITED for her/his decision.
3rd: She/He answerED that if I don't want to send to her/him a real picture of me, it's probably because I'm a "scammer" and she/he quitX the conversation.

Just so you know, I've worked with a couple of teachers and they have been using video. People probably don't really care one way or the other if you use video or audio
