Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah Blah Blah

I happened to meet this guy when I was out doing my cherry blossom ride. He was kind of nice, not bad looking. He didn't seem creepy, so I gave him my cell number after talking for a while. He seemed a tad clingy for the rest of the day, but not stalker creepy. I later found out that he's 44 - an instant no-go for relationships, but he could be a decent friend, right? Am I too dumb in thinking that this man could ever be "just friends?" The eternal question, it seems - can men and women ever be "just friends?" I already gave you my answer. We'll see... Anyway, we have not had "the talk" yet. I have had no contact with this guy until today, when he calls my cell while I'm out. We spend 6 minutes on the phone, and I wonder if I spoke for even 2 of those minutes. This guy can talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. Did I mention he can talk? He can talk. I don't like that. All things considered, I'm not inclined to be friends. I like to get a word in edgewise, you know? Geez. Remaining friendly acquaintances is probably best.
