If I give out my iMessage email, will my phone number be seen as well?

so if i don’t reply or message bob again after i get my number he won’t be able to see my number?

He can't see your number unless you communicate to him via imessage/phone calls or you giving him the number.

Just like I have no idea what your email or number is.

If you text back using your number then yes.
