UGH! The Low/Close Talker Called

So LCT called today. Three times. He called twice & then sent a text that said "please call". He called 2 hours later & left a message: "Hi KG. This is LCT from Mulcaheys. Just calling to say hi and see what you are doing and to say that it was nice meeting you the other night. So give me a call & I'll talk to you soon."

OH SO PAINFUL!

So I figured I'd better call back before he sends out the National Guard looking to see if I really do exist or something. Our conversation was just as painful this afternoon as it was Friday night. He doesn't have much to say. It took him 15 minutes of babbling and silence to finally ask if I wanted to grab a coffee or something. I told him that I would but I am not free until next weekend. I (stupidly) mentioned that I am going to the city Thursday with Crak (whom he says hello to) and he said "Oh! I wish I could go!" I said "yeha, well, so many wish they could but aren't." And I left it at that. I had to instruct him to call me mid-week. Not before and not after, as I will not be available and do not want endless messages on my cell. He said okay.

So now I am going to have to figure out how to go & politely let down this guy who took such a chance on coming over the other night. Why couldn't he be normal?
