stupid is what stupid does

So I "met" this guy, C. I am not sure what to think of this whole mess. And yes, its already kinda a mess. I met him through the wonderful world of the internet. Its a long story and his "post" wasnt exactly intended for me but we have continued talking none the less. Couple things that are weird about this though, other than the obvious "net" connection.

1) I asked him to call me. Bold move Im sure, but if we are going to possibly meet someday I want to at least know what he sounds like. So instead of calling me...he freakin texts me. I find that unacceptable. I called him out on it and still, no phone call. (Is he married/serious relationship?)

2) Things are always "coming up". Random clients from out of town, extra work, etc. Not sure Im buying this whole thing.

3) "You can call me, but Im really tired" - what he texted to me one night. Only to be followed up shortly with, "Im talking to my son." (It was midnight making it 10pm on the west coast, a little late to be talking to a three year old.)

4) A son?!?! Forgot to mention that.

I like talking to him. He is taking up the spare time that A used to fill. I just think he could be shady, thats all. Not sure what to do in this situation. Dont need to deal with another situation like A. Id like to be able to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I feel like a little naive pushover doing that. Espeically with all the guy drama as of late. At the same time though, I like that I am trusting (to an extent) because it helps me not feel jaded about the world. Hmmm...decisions, decisions.
