    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.

      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.

      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.

        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
