The “too soon” phrase 🙄?

[Anonymous]

I met this guy on Tinder. We liked each other so much and the chemistry was amazing. we moved to Snapchat and we talked every day for three hours for a week so we decided to go on our first date and he said before the date that he will officially asked for my number so I went on and on the dates we had an amazing time the chemistry was right. he was perfect! gentle respectful fun sweet he wasn’t pushy. it was the best date I’ve ever had in so long. so the day after we talked on Snapchat and I mentioned that that he said he would ask for my number but he didn’t. he said that he didn’t forget but he thought that it was too soon for that. honestly I was kind of embarrassed I felt a little small, I know I should not feel that way but I don’t really know what what he means by that. Honestly I’ve said that phrase so many times but I didn’t expect it from a guy. What do you think?

He may be trying to be ultra respectful. Or it could be that he doesn't want to continue dating you. Another possibility is that he may not actually want a relationship at all. Maybe he's scarred from a recent breakup or some past relationship. It's awfully strange that you've been talking for 3-4 weeks and still haven't exchanged numbers. Seems like a red flag to me. I mean a lot of people exchange numbers with somebody they meet in a coffee shop or after 1 conversation on FB.

Thank you for your reply. We didn’t talk for 3 weeks. It’s just one week but 2-3 hours everyday

I’m just confused he seamed so enthusiastic about the next plans we’d have together but reluctant to exchange phone numbers

Sorry I misread your post on the timeline. It is odd that he's willing to go on a second date but doesn't want to exchange phone numbers. But if you really like him than just keep seeing eachother and I'm sure you'll exchange numbers soon enough.

That sounds good. Thank you 🙆🏻‍♀️

I think he isn't making any sense. You Snapchat three hours a day, plus you went on an actual date... but it's too soon to give his number? When has exchanging numbers ever come AFTER a first date? He isn't being honest.

Maybe phone number is a big deal for him and he reserves it only for close friends and loved ones? He might had some bad experiences in the past?
