Why He's Single

So, in mentioning my prior approximately 10 minute phone conversation with RR guy, who I am supposed to go out and do a theater event with Tuesday night, I just recalled an interesting part of the conversation I forgot about in prior off-blog conversations about how he was boring me over the phone.

Before I get to that, I should mention that our recent phone conversations (about three times now) have been a lot about him and a little about me that I've just interjected. I haven't really been asked much about me, especially over the phone. When we met in person, I just thought it was nerves that he really didn't ask anything about me. Now I'm thinking it's part of why he's single.

Tonight on the phone, after asking me the only question about how my day was, he went on to tell me about his work, about how probably my job is more fun than his and pays more than his (which I totally corrected that assumption, but my job is more fun, that's true), and then he went on to tell me about a girl he dated who was killed in a car accident this week!?! Seriously, I have met the guy twice in person, talked on the phone a few times, and he decides it's time to bring up about someone he once dated 10+ years ago, hasn't talked with since, but had mutual friends so he was told about her death... He mentioned something about odd it was to have dated someone now dead and get this, his friend's pet had been run over this week as well and that this death thing that is going around and I should watch out for it. Seriously? Seriously? Yes, he did, told me to be careful because something alluding to these things coming in packs/waves/etc.

So, in addition to me giving him about three different general openings (my job, my pets, my family) to ask me ANY questions, he also basically tells me that being with him/around him might bring death to me. Lovely.

Finally, he also ended our phone conversation by telling me that he was home now - so basically I'd been a time filler until his drive home from work was finished. I called him on his 'classy' behavior, in more of a teasing way, but seriously? I only use my family as time-fillers, and they love me and forgive my douchy behavior. I think after Tuesday I'm going to be permanently washing my feet (someone gave me that excuse and I think it fits here, yes?).
