Art - Future Galleries

I need to give some background before I begin, please be patient. I’ll make fake names to protect privacy; any references outside here are purely coincidental. I want you guys to tell me your thoughts, ideas, etc, with this Bobby I’ll talk about.

I knew him since last year at a store as he worked night shifts as a cashier. At first he seems outgoing and friendly, but I found how immature and stubborn he really is.

Bobby’s quite slack about doing certain things. He says he doesn’t have a celly when I wrote him my number and that he’ll get one soon, reassuring me repeatedly ever since. Today, six months later, he still doesn’t have one. He tries various excuses (out of money, being environmentally friendly, afraid of radiation) and eventually gave the number to his dad’s house where he lives: I have to call him 8-10 times throughout the day to find him. He is rarely there to answer and blames me for "calling him over and over and pissing people off." He lives with his dad and relies on his “friends” when his dad becomes fed up so he doesn’t sleep under a bridge at night. He’s 33 and lives with his parents. His parents are much better off without him, Bobby expects them to spoon feed him.

Bobby tries so hard to be creative, it’s hilarious. His obsession with his fantasies of managing some art gallery in the future continues to this day: he acts offended when I say it’ll take 8-10 yrs and there are things to consider beforehand. I know it’s impossible and it’s atrocious to witness how he can’t see that. He likes to talk philosophy and it’s all cliché: it’s a joke, along with his "epic poems" of so-called trance-like mental images. The catch is he actually thinks it feels so real.

Sometimes Bobby tells me how he lost his friends one after another. He might be helping me: the smart guys avoided him for a reason, and it couldn’t have been coordinated altogether. It’s appalling how I’ve thought of him well to start with.

He rarely calls me. Usually he tells me he has an interesting story to tell, and blabbers on how he met a cute girl at the bar last night, taking at least 5-10 mins to describe her and how "cute" she is.

Once a week or so, he’d call to meet up. It could be 9pm as I ask him when and he’d suggest calling back in 1 hour, where (1) my phone rings at 10:45 and I ask if he’s on his way: he tells me he’ll stay at home for the night, suggesting calling again tomorrow, or (2) nothing happens until next morning or later on where he forgets about it: he might suggest meeting up that night, too.

I don’t know what religion he’s into. He says he respects [religion #1], blabbers on cliché, but is also fond of [enter religion #2], blabbering some more. He tells me he’s part-Muslim while eating a ham sandwich. I ask him about it and he recites basic knowledge and cliché. The day he yelled at me (cell phone issue) was right after he allegedly attended a Buddhist session for inner peace and tolerance.

Sorry for the length of it: there were lots of details to go through and I think I’ve covered much of the basics. I just want to see some opinions about how you feel about this guy as of what I described. I’ve been quite truthful about what I’ve written, and I expect you to take my poll seriously. Thanks!
Please be more thoughtful in your answers.
