OLD and the coffee cup

So I did a RL meet from OLD and was pleasantly surprised. He looked like his profile pic, attractive to look at, could hold a conversation, talked about his family and what it was like to be a widower, we talked about shared interests, he raised some interesting topics, and then ... he sipped his coffee while looking at me and he... eurgh .. momentarily rested his tongue on the cup before drinking from it.
My whole being was the saying no, no, get out of there, never want to see him again. AIBU to fob him off with some random excuse?

@Els1e

Cringing now, cos I drink like this. No idea why, always have done. Though not the looking into another person’s eyes while doing so. I find if I make the effort not to use my tongue to guide, I invariably spill my tea down me. Do have dyspraxia which I thought was the reason for oddity.
I have dyspraxia too, and kind of use my tongue as a guide when eating and drinking. I’m very worried now people think I’m a wrong’en 😅

There was also the small matter of him asking me what I did in my spare time, about 40 minutes into the conversation, after we'd discussed my job, my pet, my three separate hobbies...

In his defence he could have been nervous so asked the question and then immediately regretted it.

I think you have made up your mind about this guy but I wouldn’t let it put you off OLD.

Sounds like he’s being sexy. Or trying to. You’ll never unsee it, OP.
