The Situation

"He only messages me on the app and won't give me his number"

The Brutal Truth

He's likely not serious about you and values keeping things casual over genuine connection. This behavior indicates he's either hiding something or afraid of deeper commitment. Either way, he's not meeting your needs for clarity and trust.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might obsess over why he's not sharing his number, sending multiple messages to get reassurance or validation. This is wrong because it can lead to compromising your worth and self-respect, waiting for someone to show up who may not even care.
