Is this shady? He unmatches as soon as we exchange numbers so I can't see his profile anymore

So I (33F) match with a guy on Hinge (?M). We text in the app for about 24 hours - going well. He asks for my number - I give it (it's a Google Voice number). Then he texts me and asks to set up a phone / FaceTime date. I'm excited, getting ready to say yes. Then I go back into Hinge to look at his profile so I can remember his last name and save him in my phone and POOF, he's gone from the app.

I think this is weird so I text him and ask. I say, I can't see your profile anymore, did you unmatch with me? He says "yeah because I got your number."

I find his behavior to be highly weird. There are several reasons that I like to go back and look at a guy's profile and to our in-app chat history. 1 - refresh my memory on what we talked about so I'm not repeating myself. 2 - refresh my memory on exactly what he looks like when I'm trying to find him at designated public location for first date. 3 - looking back at what he put on his profile that I frankly don't always remember because I'm talking with several people - see above, I can't remember the guy's age now 🤦‍♀️. 4 - safety reasons, I take a screenshot of the guy I'm going on a first date with and text his photo and our date location to a friend before all of my first dates (it won't save me if he's a criminal, but it will ensure the police know who to go talk to if I turn up missing). 5 - sometimes if you're vibin on somebody you just wanna go back and scroll through their cute pics and smile!!!

Am I off-base in finding this to be really weird behavior on his part? And what is even the point, does anyone have any guesses on why he would do this? It seems shady and weird to me.

I've only had 2 guys ever unmatch me before, and both did so because they got pissy when I expressed not wanting to go out. That makes sense to me, this situation has me scratching my head. Help please!

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
