I think it’s important to note that none of my app notifications are turned on either. Everyone else will need to wait until I check my apps. Setting this boundary means that only those I’m comfortable with will have immediate access to my time, energy, and attention. Failing to give my phone number out allows me to limit not only who has access to me, but how much access they have. We live in a fast-paced, instantly gratified society where we all feel entitled to each other at the click of a button or the status of a delivered text, but no ma’am. Still not convinced? Before you fire off-hear me out. If I’d just left them on the app, ridding myself of them would have been a lot easier. I’ve experienced people I’ve blocked calling from different numbers. It’s hard to rid yourself of creeps once they have your number. Giving my number out too quickly has sometimes made it difficult for me to discern the interest from the creepy. Some people are only out to collect numbers and others have no serious intentions anyway.
Honestly, I’ve regretted giving my number out too quickly. I don’t think men I don’t know should be able to know me in that way. Giving my phone number feels like I’m handing out invitations to my private, more personal life.
It’s important for me to maintain my boundaries and also protect my privacy. After years of swiping, fishing, matching, hinging, meeting, dating, and failing, I’ve finally implemented some boundaries and standards to keep the weirdos at bay.įrankly, I’m not comfortable with a bunch of strangers having my phone number.
