Troy Miller met him on a subway platform, and after a few texts, they decided to watch a movie and share a bottle of wine at the man’s apartment.
At one point, they started chatting. In mid-sentence, his date got up and left. Just walked into the bathroom.
And stayed there for a good five minutes.
Miller didn’t know what to do. It had been a long time since he’d been on a date, after all.
After way too much time, he comes back – and immediately picks up where he left off.
Miller smelled cigarette smoke and confronted his date, who confessed that he had a cigarette.
“That’s fine, you could’ve had a cigarette right here. I rather you’d have said, ‘Do you mind if I smoke?’ than just disappear in mid-thought,” recounted Miller.
