Would it bug you if someone you're talking to on a dating app won't tell you their name?

[Anonymous]

Yes bye

No

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Obviously. How am I supposed to get to know them if they can’t even tell me their name? That’s the most basic thing. Not to mention, if they refuse to tell me their name, I’ll just take that as a red flag — What are they hiding?

[Asker]

Yeah their excuse was I have to guess to 'make me work harder' 🙄🙄

[Gwenhwyfar]

Very sus

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Oh hell no. I’m sorry but that’s an immediate block.

[Gwenhwyfar]

@WhatTheHeckkkk agreed

[Asker]

And also asks me loads of questions too, it's getting annoying

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Block!

[Asker]

He told me his name eventually but he's giving me attitude as tho we exclusive🤨
Is it just me or is that just plain annoying?

[Gwenhwyfar]

Super annoying!

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww. Guessing games are fun, though. You guys are too uptight.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

@Jamie05rhs Not fun when you don’t know the person at all and are on a dating app. That’s just a disaster waiting to happen to you.

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww 😧

[Gwenhwyfar]

On a dating app I would expect at least a first name after we’ve been talking for a couple days. The point of a dating app is to eventually meet in person. But then again I haven’t been on a dating app in several years so maybe I’m out of touch.

[Asker]

We've been talking for a week now lol

[Gwenhwyfar]

That’s way too long

[Asker]

So I made a joke and said "maddest thing is I haven't even ask whay your name is" (assuming he would tell me straight after)
Him: you just said my name in that sentence 😂
Me:. what... maddest?🤨
Him: yeah 'maddest thing' 😂
Me: you gonna make me guess your name now🙄
Him: yeah maybe I should to make you work abit harder

!!😒🙄

[Gwenhwyfar]

I would unmatch him if he wouldn’t tell me his name

[Asker]

Thanks I might just do that

[Gwenhwyfar]

Cool 😊

[Asker]

He just told me his name whilst we speak lol. But... it sounds fake😐maybe I'm paranoid 😂

[Gwenhwyfar]

It could be fake or he could be sincere. I might unmatch him anyway and move on.

[Asker]

It's definitely put me off haha

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. That sounds shady to me. I wouldn't talk to that guy anymore if I were you.

[Asker]

He told me his name eventually but he's giving me attitude as tho we exclusive🤨
Is it just me or is that just plain annoying?

[Jamie05rhs]

Can you explain more of what you mean by that?

[Asker]

Like when I mentioned it's weird he's not telling me his name, he starts being sarcastic

[Jamie05rhs]

Sarcastic how? What did he say?

[Jamie05rhs]

@Asker

[slatyb]

I don’t talk to people on dating apps. I ask them to meet and talk.

[gingergurl]

Yea it definitely would bug me. Like I mean, how am I suppose to get to know you when you don't want to tell me your name. Honestly it's a huge red flag.

[Asker]

Yeah their excuse was I have to guess to 'make me work harder' 🙄🙄

[gingergurl]

Yea definitely huge red flag

[WonderBell99]

Well, yeah. What is the point of dating if you’re not going to ultimately meet in person? Are they going to hide behind a screen forever and just lead you on? Just ask them why they aren’t telling their name.

[lrina]

if it's just at the very start, then whatever. but after a while, yeah no. bye bye!

[MasonAlucardthethird]

I don’t use dating apps, but I have heard you shouldn’t take people too seriously on them. Not worth the energy

[Apulu_3]

I understand they need some time to trust to say real name. I myself won't say my real name without trust.

[Raphaëlle]

Of course it would be strange. I don't use dating apps but if you want to get to know a person, why wouldn't you tell them your name?

[Kaneki05]

Tell me your name!
Nah it won't, I go by nicknames anyway.

[michael1469]

Starting a conversation you can keep it simple w first names. Get comfortable, but by the time you go on first date, you should know his/her name.

[Fuentes]

On a dating app is weird

[tobr83]

Not at the beginning. Does it bug you?

[Gwenhwyfar]

In the beginning sure but before we meet I absolutely insist on a real first name

[tobr83]

Yup I 100% agree with this
