There are a few motivations behind why a woman on a dating site would refuse to give you her phone number.
For one, there are women who worry about their personal safety when talking to men on a dating site.
She refuses to give you her phone number out of an abundance of caution, knowing full well that a phone number is a potent source of information.
Given how advanced technology is, a guy can easily get plenty of information about a woman by virtue of having her phone number alone.
Even though, you have no intention to do anything of the sort, she doesn’t know that.
She met you on a dating site.
As far as she is concerned, you are a stranger.
Regardless of how well you have connected with her through conversations that you have had with each other on a dating site, you remain a stranger to her.
A person she has only gotten to know somewhat through a digital hemisphere.
To this end, she wants to practice caution, and prevent the initial good feelings she has about you from influencing her judgment.
When she refuses to give you her phone number, she is thinking about her safety first.
It isn’t a good idea to pressure her about giving you her phone number when she has refused to do it.
Rather, to make her feel safe, offer your phone number to her instead, and tell her to turn off the caller ID on her smartphone when she calls you.
This keeps you from obtaining her phone number, which eliminates the safety issue.
Nevertheless, should she refuse to do this as well, arrange a physical meeting with her.
As long as she agrees to meeting you sooner rather than later, you don’t have to worry too much about the fact that she has refused to give you her phone number.
This being said, it doesn’t do you any good to keep talking to a woman on a dating site for weeks, who has refused to give you her phone number, and keeps procrastinating to meet you face to face.
This screams red flags, and is behavior that is usually exhibited by a catfish.
A catfish is motivated to get on a dating site to deceive.
She creates a fake dating profile, usually one with pictures of an attractive woman, to trick men into messaging her.
A woman who has refused to give you her phone number, refused to do a video chat, and refused to arrange a meeting with you, is likely a catfish.
Never give too much of your time to women like this.
A full week of regular conversation on a dating site is enough time to ask for an in person meeting.
A woman who is consistently avoiding a face to face meeting with you, is only using you for the attention you are giving her.
Catfishes love attention, but so do regular women who strictly use dating sites as a way to get an ego boost.
Many a time, these are women who are unhappy in their relationships and want to get attention from random men on dating sites to get a boost to their egos and self-esteem.
