Don't hurry yourself to get the Dys out of Dysfunctional ... maybe spend some time putting the FUN _in_ it. Respond to more ads, for example. And collect anecdotes from other women who've had on-line dating experiences. You can work up a library of the antics pulled.
My reaction is that this guy is un(der)-employed - or working in a mailroom or something, if he's indeed working at a network, or once did or something so he knows the lingo - and probably enjoyed the exchange with you but is terrified of meeting someone as together and attractive as you are, because he won't pass muster.
