Her Date Gave Her The Biggest Ick By Showing Up In A Tight Suit Jacket With A Dirty Car, And Then He Started Asking Her What Her Wine Preferences Were Before They Got To The Restaurant
In some cases, getting the ick toward someone you’re romantically involved with is completely warranted.
The ick is a gut reaction that should not be ignored since it might be your body’s way of alerting you to red flags that your brain hasn’t picked up on yet.
However, this feeling should not be completely guiding your dating decisions. When you’ve caught the ick, it’s best to evaluate the relationship and reflect on what the feeling really means.
Ending a relationship because of an ick may cause you to miss out on something truly great. TikToker Billie Rae Brandt (@billieraebrandt) is talking about how she is happily in a relationship with the man who gave her the biggest ick on their first date, proving that the ick does not always spell trouble.
For their first date, they agreed that she would meet him at his place first so he could drive them both to the dinner reservations he had made.
When she pulled up in front of his house, a large man stepped outside, wearing a maroon suit jacket that was several sizes too small for him.
Then, he proceeded to drive her to the restaurant in a car that was in dire need of a deep cleaning.
Before they had even arrived at the restaurant, he was already asking her about her wine preferences, saying that they could talk to their server about the different flavor profiles of wine.
With the too-tight jacket, the dirty car, and the talk of wine, he already had three strikes against him, causing her to develop the biggest ick.

She had never been turned off so quickly in her life. At that point, she was just hoping the food at the restaurant would be good.
Fast forward a couple of years, and that man had become the love of Billie’s life. She realized that the “icks” were insignificant and that a man’s charm and authenticity stemmed from his inner confidence.
“If a girl saying ick makes you question yourself and lose that confidence, I promise you that will make her leave much faster than the ick itself,” said Billie.
“Good women don’t want a man that they can change with one word. They want a man with conviction. So if a girl ever says anything like that to you, own everything about yourself.”
She concluded by revealing that he still owned the maroon jacket. Several people shared their opinions about her story in the comments section.
“Oh, I love this story. Great example of how ridiculous and insignificant our initial impressions are in terms of a long-term relationship,” commented one person.
“Some icks are reasonable and fixable. Meanwhile, some are way too extreme. We are all flawed. Try to listen first, then decide if you can compromise,” pointed out another.
“Basically, she’s saying just be yourself and don’t change just to impress a woman. HOWEVER, make sure you’re the most SUCCESSFUL version of yourself,” added a third.
