Joe was handsome and seemed nice, so when he was in my neighbourhood for work, I agreed to meet up with him. He had a hotel in the next town five miles away so got a taxi over. I’d eaten but the plan was to go to my local so he could have dinner.
As he walked towards me his head started jerking, his face contorting. It threw me off-guard simply because I wasn’t expecting him to have such an obvious tic. We carried on with the introductions and started wandering towards the pub.
I offered to buy him dinner, as he paid for a cab over here, which he accepted, although later I wondered why as he could have put it on the company card.
The jerking carried on and although it was a bit distracting, it wasn’t off-putting, I found him attractive because he was nice enough, confident, and the conversation flowed; luckily he didn’t talk about himself the whole time but actually asked a few questions about me (not something I encounter much).
Later on, we had really good sex. It was the only time his tic stopped. I never heard from him again.
