Damn. That sounds amazing. You don't need to try this hard to get into my pants, you know.
[As soon as she hits send, she grimaces and is filled with instant regret for it. She's nervous about all this. Dates. Dinners. Tiramisu? It's more than she's used to and she doesn't quite know how to handle it.]
[ It takes a couple of minutes for Fraser to respond to that. ]
I won't deny that I'm attracted to you, by any means. But I want to spend time with you in many contexts. I want to get to know you in many ways. I don't consider dinner to be a prelude with the ultimate goal of sex, although I know I am old-fashioned, in thinking there should be a certain sequence of events. I also want to sit and talk and enjoy a meal with you for its own sake, because I enjoy your company very much.
[Those couple minutes are more than a little nerve wracking for her. When he responds, she's feeling a different set of fears, swirling in her belly.]
I've just never done anything like this before. I've never really gone on dates. I've never had someone make me dinner. No one back home who wanted to just enjoy my company and it wasn't just some ploy. It does sound nice.
I'll endeavour to make it a positive first experience. I think Andy is planning to invite someone else over at the same time, so that we can pretend you've come to see him if anyone happens to be spying on us. So dinner may be something of a double date, if that's alright. But it's a big house. We don't have to remain in a group for the entire evening, if you like.
