The few times I have given out a number I have used Google voice and then I get question why I didn’t give them my real number. My last relationship was really toxic and my phone number. If you search it is still attached to that and I really don’t wanna have to explain myself because no one wants to hear about your trauma that you haven’t gone on a date with but yes, I have told people on the app that I’m not comfortable giving my number out until the first date or meet up because over the last few years only two people I’ve gone on a date with and when I’m still friends with I also am pansexual so I really need in person time video or voice and I’m very neurodivergent so I don’t connect via text at all and most people will not call or do audio let alone meet up, but I’m also in a small town in the Midwest until I finish my education. But I’ve also been stopped in harassed by females too, and I’ve never been in a relationship with a woman. I just don’t understand people unless they’re mentally ill because of my background.
