Should I give him my number?
I met a guy online at a dating site. He only has 1 pic and barely anything on his profile. He pm me 2 weeks ago. We started talking and he only told me the basic things about him. I would tell him about my day and recent stuff going on in my life. He gave me his # and said we should text. I told him I want to wait. To get to know him more. I feel like he's holding back on me. He got offended. Told me he had a crazy ex stalking him that's why he doesn't want to put too much on his profile. He said he wanted something serious/long term and said if I want the same text him b/c he's not coming back on the site.
I'm being cautious b/c you never know who you're talking too. I feel like he's manipulating me by making me feel bad and give him my #. Got any advice on what I should do?

Trust your gut.
That is sort of the rule of online dating, trust yourself. Yourself is telling you that this guy is shady, so cut him off now.
Maybe he really does have a crazy ex. If that is true, and this is how he is reacting too that problem, then online dating is probably not the right tool for him right now. He's not able to participate in it in a healthy and open way at the moment.
Trust your gut. Your gut is telling there is something not quite right about this situation. You should rely on that. He doesn't have your number, so all you have to do is wish him well and let him leave.

He could be telling the truth, but it's good that you want to be safe.
Don't text him until you're ready.
Plus if you feel like he's trying to make you feel bad, he might not be the right guy to date.
There are tons more guys on that site that are willing to wait to get your number. Some girls don't want to give out their number to random guys and that's fine.

His story could be correct, there are crazy exes out there, however, if you're really concerned, there are probably less weird guys out there.
