Private
You sure put me off the idea, but then I wasn't overly thrilled about the prospect to begin with. You're right, hardly matters now.
You know how my father abhors lying. I have been honest enough without oversharing, but he is an annoyingly intelligent man, he is capable of filling in the blanks without needing to probe for further information.
Wonderful, I look forward to it. I'll get back in touch with a date, I'll just check with pops my father first.
