Search Results: getting her off her crush

So got talking to this guy on a dating app we where really having a good conversation through texting and I prefer to text through WhatsApp, so asked was he on it he replied he is but he would prefer if maybe we text through Instagram till we get to know each other a bit better. So I just said it’s fine we can text through tinder that the platform is the same as insta that I only suggested WhatsApp cause it’s my preferred app. He said he doesn’t like giving out his number.

To me it’s just not a big deal and tbh I feel really crap and rejected wish I hadn’t suggested it but it’s always the norm on tinder. I’ve obviously look like I can’t be trusted if he won’t give me his phone number so I don’t see the point in him wanting to text me. He said he only went on one tinder date but the girl turned out to be a psycho. It just doesn’t make sense will hand me his Instagram but not his phone number. Why do people have such a issue with a phone number the worst thing that could happen is that I ring you. We where having such a good flow of conversation aswell that I feel like it’s ruined cause I’m embarrassed and he has annoyed me a little tbh. Could he have a girlfriend and doesn’t want me getting his phone number cause it’s probably connected to accounts? Then other friends where like I never give my number out on dating sites.

And the other thing is we worked in the same building about 5 or 6 years ago, I didn’t recognize him at first on tinder it was him that kept bringing up that he knows he from somewhere when we finally realized it, he was like I used to have a crush on you but you never talked to me and tbh I really liked him aswell but I was with somebody at the time. Granted we don’t know a thing about each other and it’s onky been a few days chatting but he has seen me before so kinda thought it would be ok to ask for the number
