Online dating when to ask for number

Often, a phone number can be used to find other personal information, like your address, family members, and work history.

I hadn't realized that there was this much stigma around revealing your number, but now I see that I was in fact afraid of coming off too forward.It's hard to say whether the app kept my online interactions going longer because I don't know how things would have turned out had I not given out the number.That said, here's what happened when I tried giving out my number sooner than I normally would on three different apps with the security that Burner afforded me.First, I gave out my Burner number to someone from Coffee Meets Bagel after it became clear that we had common professional and intellectual interests.I did not receive his initial text, so I pinged him again as our Coffee Meets Bagel communication line was about to close (the app only lets people message each other during the first few weeks after they're matched).
