  I matched with two women recently who weren’t using their real name on the dating app, just first initials, A and Z. For A, I didn’t get her number until the end of our first date. For Z, she gave me her number before she gave me her real name and we still haven’t had our first date yet, busy schedules.

    I find that fascinating. I just wouldn’t turn up to an internet date who wouldn’t give me their number. If safety is an issue then get a burner number.

    I married an internet date and our kids are nearly teens now. 🤷‍♀️

    There are plenty of services that let you use burner numbers. Hushed and Burner are some popular ones, or MySudo if you want several whole profiles (phone number, email, etc).

  Back when I was still using online dating, it was part of the process of eliminating/reducing scammers, as well as disqualifying anyone who wanted to move to whatsapp. No idea even what portion of scammers vs legit people I eliminated that way. Eventually I was jaded enough by the whole thing that I had trouble engaging at all and just gave up on online dating.
