I met Joseph in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2012 at the afterparty of a theatre show I’d been in. He showed some interest and even asked me out on a date, but nothing came of it.
The next time I saw him, on a drunken night out with mutual friends, I hassled him about his lack of follow-through; the result was a messy one-night stand. No one was in great form, and let’s just say it has never been spoken of again. Unsurprisingly, there was a bit of ghosting after that. But we kept running into each other.
