    A few possible guesses.

    1. She has no sim card and exclusively uses whatsapp for calling.
    2. She doesn’t want you to know her number unless she gets to know you.
    3. She’s lying or scamming.

    I’m leaning towards number 2 if you’re outside the US, because I imagine I’d rather set up a new profile than change my phone number. If you’re inside the US, I’d bet it’s number 3. Whatsapp doesn’t seem to be as popular in the US.

      100% #3. one of the reasons I’ve stopped using dating apps is all the scammers. That and it’s a literal meat market, where you’re constantly having to talk to multiple people because so many just ghost you, and every message you send better be lighthearted, funny, amusing, and flirty or else fuck you.

      I’m in Canada but it’s not super popular here either. Although she was foreign so she may have had a different take on WA
