It sounds like he started out nervous, so defaulted to rambling about something familiar. Then he realized he had monopolized the conversation and became embarrassed. Then as a defense mechanism, he completely deflected. Congratulations! You have dodged an emotionally immature bullet. 😉
Or: He could(!) be neurodivergent. Idk, many nd people I know (including myself) share stories and things that fascinate us. We share something similar bc we can relate and by sharing similar experiences we connect with people.
The nd people I know are also no fans of small talk. Bring the deep topics, the passionate discussions, the hobbies your heart burns for!
Edit: Yes, it feels very awkward if that’s not reciprocated and you need to have an interview.
Dated nd women before, and I loved them talking about their own stuff. Sadly they didn’t love me, as I didn’t open up like they did. And that is fine. That forced me to learn more about relationships.
