OLD CUDDLR PROFILE (1/28/2017 - 5/1/2017):

I've traveled to many lands, some of which you may have read about in storybooks. A fun fact: Dormice make for terrible tea party guests.

No cuddling on the first date.

OLD CUDDLR PROFILE (9/21/2016 - 1/28/2017):

Single father who hasn't been on a date in more time than I care to admit. Let's start with getting to know each other over tea.

(Please stop calling me a 'DILF'. I'm not sure what that means, and I don't want to know.)

It's

[ He's not quite sure what to say. "It's fine"? It isn't fine, at least, not in the wider scheme of things. He doesn't fault Roxy for her comment, but he doesn't want to pretend he's fine, either. ]

not your fault. You didn't know.

[ Hooow does she fix this? It's not very often that Roxy finds herself in this position - embarrassed and unsure of what to say -, but she's the kind of person to own up to her mistakes and try to make things right when she does overstep or cross lines she may not have seen. ]

Can I at least take you for a cup of tea? As an apology.

You don't have to.

[ But then, as he sends that message-- a reflexive sort of excuse to stay inside with no other company but himself-- he reminds himself that it's hardly her fault that she slipped up like that, and that he needs to be sociable. The sooner he can fulfill his obligations here, the sooner he can get Grace back.

So he sends another message shortly after. ]

Tea would be nice, actually.

[gundogs]

[ She takes his initial response as a kinder way of letting her know he's not interested in any attempts to make it up to him - and that's perfectly fine. He's not obligated to forgive her, regardless of whether or not she was aware of his circumstances, and she doesn't expect anything from him either.

However, she is somewhat pleased with the follow up, because truly, she does feel like kind of a fool either way. ]

All right. Whenever you're free, I'll make time.
