He may have given you his number at a moment when he thought that he was ready to take his correspondence with you away from the dating website.

However, he may have realized some time after that he actually wasn’t ready to take his correspondence with you to this level.

He went back to email because that is where he feels comfortable at this time.

He may not be entirely sure about how he feels about you.

There is a part of him that may be intrigued by you, but there may also be a part that isn’t sure if the both of you are a good match.

He may have regretted giving you his number too soon.

He may be the kind of guy that doesn’t give out his number that quickly.

However, when he first met you on a dating website, there may have been something about you that made him make an exception.

Since he gave you his number, he may have been having second thoughts.

He may have realized that he moved too quickly to give it.

Again, he may have gotten too carried away with the initial excitement that he felt about you and may have given you his number quicker than he normally would to a girl that he recently met on a dating website.

Now that he has had some time to think about it, he went back to email because he wants to keep his correspondence with you relegated to the dating website for now.

He doesn’t really know where this is all going to lead.

His forthcoming interaction with you could actually turn out fine.

He may enjoy his correspondence with you by email enough to eventually decide that he would like to start talking or texting by phone.

However, he feels that sticking with email on the dating website would probably be the best move at this time.

Another reason why he gave you his number on a dating website and then went back to email could be because he may not have enjoyed the correspondence that he had with you by phone.

If the both of you have had a few exchanges by phone, he may not have felt that those exchanges were particularly enjoyable.

The reason why he gave you his number on a dating website in the first place may have been because of how much he was really enjoying his conversations with you through email on the dating website.

He may have gotten so excited about these email conversations that he gave you his number because he believed that corresponding with you by phone would most likely be even more exciting.

He was looking forward to more engaging and fun conversations by phone.

However, if the both of you have had a few exchanges by phone and he has now gone back to email, it may be because he didn’t have the kind of exciting conversations by phone that he was expecting.

The correspondence with you by phone may have been really dull to him.

They were nothing like the email exchanges that he had with you on the dating website.

Perhaps he felt that you seemed to be too cautious in your correspondence with him.

He may have been disappointed that he was no longer feeling the same kind of energy from you by phone that he had experienced in his email exchanges with you on the dating website.

He went back to email because he may want to have better conversations with you like he once did.

Perhaps he believes that you need a little bit more time to warm up to corresponding by phone.

Until then, he may feel that corresponding by email would be the best option. This way, he doesn’t get bored with you and give up on the correspondence entirely.
