Chat with a Stranger

I was bored last night so I went online but there was nothing much to do. I saw the irc icon on my desktop that has been left unused for a long time. I bet not much people go to irc now since msn has become the more common chat mode. Curious, I logged on to irc and there were still quite a lot of people there. There was this guy who msg me and I chatted with him because he is not like the other wierdos and jerks. We msg till quite late and he said he was logging off soon and wondered whether I want to chat on the phone. I wasn't keen with the idea at first but he said I can just hang up if i find him irritating, and that he wont call me after that night. So I thought different about this guy and we chatted on the phone. He gave me tips on how to get a job, like how you should prepare for an interview and other things like that. He is from jc, same age as me and currently working as an engineer. He lives near SP and so I manage to guess which sec sch he is from. Seems like a normal guy who leads a simple life and works hard. I think he is smart and also a conscientious person, since he came from good schools and did his degree overseas. I kind of enjoy the conversation because he told me his experience of finding a job and how he prepared for his interview. As we were ending the phone call, I asked for his msn but he didnt have one. Then he told me he is actually attached and his gf is overseas, so he was just bored and looking for someone to talk. That's all. Well, too bad..i think he is a nice guy but i kind of have an idea he thought that he is leading me on. And he even apologised for that. Oh well, maybe I think too much about what will happen after this phone call, but then, i thought he should have told me earlier that he is attached. He said he will try not to msg me. Wierd...I mean we can just be friends.
I dont really expect anything....but thank you for your interview tips. Made me think through about how I should prepare for my interviews and expect the kind of questions to anticipate and answers that I can prepare for it.
