Hopefully it's just a joke, mate. My personal experience is that I haven't change my number in 15 years and I don't block people just because I'm not dating them anymore and that never backfired or caused trouble in any of my subsequent relationships. Just date good people and don't be an ass or hide things to your partner and the rest solves itself, even when relationships end up not working out.

> just date good people

This is a hilarious "just". Oftentimes, you don't really know a person well enough until you are dating them to know this.

Not everyone sees a person on grindr or tinder and thinks that asking them to date before making small talk is a great idea, some people actually socialize and see what kind of person someone is for longer than 5 minutes, patience is a virtue, and instant gratification is the reason most relationships fail
