    Why are you assuming I’M the bad guy?? I met a sociopath this evening and he charmed me into giving him my phone number and full legal name. He’s like the classic American-Psycho-type profile. I’m scared.

      What kinda of pick up line does a guy gotta use to get your full name. You make it sound like he strong armed you. I think you’re over reacting, creeps are gonna be creeps to everyone, ignore him if he contacts you. In fact block his number. In a few days you’ll forget about them.

        He put my first name into his phone then he asked me my last name so I told him then he put that into his phone too. Only a few hours later I realized I should not have told him my last name. Why did he ask my last name? Only a sociopath would ask so many things of someone after only knowing them for 5 minutes. He had a way with interpersonal skills, my guard went down and I felt like I trusted him and felt safe, but now my stranger danger alarm is screaming.

          FWIW I try to get someone’s full name when they give me their number so I don’t mix the name up with someone else in my phone.

          Well no, id say having a first and last name is pretty common, especially if they want to add you on a social media account. There are plenty of reasons for why he asked for your last name, he could just be ocd and want full names in his phone. There couldve already been a Lemmyknowsbest in his phone and needed your last name to tell you two apart.

            Even if not, it will be much easier to remember who that is after the record gets forgotten: one can look up a person’s name in the internet and that works better with a full name
