Is this a dealbreaker?

So, last night, I spoke on the phone for the first time with a guy that I met on Match.com. He is 35, never married and very successful with his career. I was trying to keep the conversation going, so I asked about his job, and we proceeded to talk about it for 30 minutes, without him once asking anything about my job, what I like to do for fun, etc. I will take part of the responsibility for the conversation because I am intrigued by what he does (he's a prep school basketball coach), so we talked a lot about my alma mater and basketball recruiting, things like that. After 30 minutes, I told him I needed to go, and he said he'd call me early next week and he enjoyed talking to me (no duh, you talked about yourself the whole time). The fact that he didn't ask a single thing about my life bothers me. My friends think I should give him another chance, but to me, it feels like he is just a selfish guy. Am I jumping to conclusions? Any thoughts?

So what happened...he called on Sunday night while I was out of town (left a message saying he wanted to take me out to a nice dinner), so I called him back last night and he said he couldn't talk but would call me tonight (he's a basketball coach, and he had a game last night). But he did tell me to pick a night because he wanted to "wine and dine me". I'm a little skeptical, but I hope at least it will be fun. I have another date on Thusday night, and then him on Friday night, so we shall see. These will be my first 2 dates, and needless to say I'm very nervous!
