What was he doing?
What was he doing?
This wasn't like him. Going on spur of the moment tea-dates with admittedly flexible women. … Even if that flexibility was more relevant to time than anything else. That wasn't the point. The point was, not even a week ago, he thought he was going to give himself an aneurism just showing off the extra room in his flat to someone.
The point was that he was generally beyond shy to the point being a shut in. And now he was willingly going to meet a girl. Why? Because she thought funny "blokes" were the best? Or because flirting was good on him?
Well, probably, yes. Those were good reasons.
Oddly, it did not even occur to him that he could have opted out of it he had really wanted to. She seemed like a nice enough girl, and probably would have took "sorry, I'm bad at this," in a strange internet-girl stride. Well, it didn't occur to him until it was too late, anyway. Because he was already standing in the coffee shop, staring up at the board of options, and thanking whatever gods there were that none of the sizes were foreign language based.
