There's an actual difference?

If there is an actual difference, I'll be that specific in the future.
I did not say 'birthdate' but 'birthday' but in casual conversation (maybe in that culture or something)...it also means the whole thing (day, month, year).

Many people do not celebrate birthdays, at least not after the age of ten. I would also react the same way as your acquaintance, if someone in a social situation asked me for my date of birth, or my mother's maiden name, my national insurance number of the name of my first pet. I don't think that is being intense, it's just being aware of your personal data.

Really? I guess that might be the same for me.
Birthday Wishes are very common, but I did personally ask certain friends if they were free on my birthday and then celebrated or spent time with them on that day.
It makes my birthday to be special (adds more meaning).
In that sense, it's a way to be with friends and they are more willing to make time it if is a 'birthday'.
So far, if not because of that...I would not have any reason to celebrate my birthday.

In an actual real life relationship, that sounds extremely odd. Makes me wonder if he himself thought he was in a real life relationship. Perhaps he wasn't serious about it, and you are probably better of with out him.

I don’t know what harm asking one’s birthdate could do. The year could be dicey if the person was being less than truthful about age, but otherwise...it sounds like this fellow in particular had a few “issues “. 🙁

It's more of harm in a 'spiritual' sense. He wears several stuff daily even to work just for the sake of 'protection'.
I am not interested in causing suffering and I am not even sure how that works through a person's birthdate.

Basically a 'traumatic past' (I heard from his colleagues).
