as a woman i always get turned off when they want to call right in front of you because they’re obv checking if you gave them the wrong number and being petty about it. it’s very uncomfy. as for asking questions about your apartment i mean idk about a red flag but it’s definitely weird. maybe just be careful about giving enough info to where he could find out where you live…

It definitely seems weird. Is he like very neurodivergent? It seems like it could be that, or he could be trying to present like that while actually trying to be controlling. So yellow flag ig.

It wasnt a red flag till the apartment stuff. Some people be slow asf on text messages so i can understand calling instead

Doing a call immediately is the fastest way to share phone numbers. It also checks to see if you typed it in right or if she gave you a fake one. Some folks tweak out about getting a fake number, but for me it shows whether I should follow up or not. Women rarely say no anymore (and sometimes it doesn't work even when they do) so the responsibility is on me to figure out if I'm bothering her and checking for a fake number does the job.

Not preemptively treating himself like a murderer isn’t a red flag. Could just mean that’s so far from true he hasn’t considered it (or refuses to on principle). And not too long ago, phone calls were actually considered more polite/respectful than texting so that bit sounds like he means well. Not sure what to make of asking about your appliances but no especially sinister explanations occur to me. Prob just couldn’t think of anything to talk about

Oh I just do it so they get my number right away instead of me having to state it for them and wait as they put it into contacts. Not really much of a texting person either. Honestly haven’t ever even thought someone’s given me a fake number before

that’s also understandable but unfortunately a lot of guys do it so that the girl can’t get away with giving a fake number. idc if they call later, but when they call right there in front of you that’s def the vibes it gives off. if im giving a fake number, im doing it because for whatever reason i don’t feel comfortable/safe telling them no🤷🏼‍♀️

As for calling instead of texting even after meeting, it's one of two things: either he likes your voice and prefers to call or he's making sure you can't screenshot anything. Depends how pessimistic you are, flip a coin if you can't decide, although pessimists rarely find love and hold onto it. As for apartment appliances, he might just have very underwhelming game.
