What do people think of this comment, in this context
I met a dad at the playground around a month ago, my Dd was playing with his Dd and we sat chatting, he was a very nice guy, we really seemed to click in a platonic, friends way. We exchanged numbers for the girls to play together, he wants his Dd to improve her English and I think it would benefit my Dd to learn more of the language of the country we’re in (not U.K.)
We’ve exchanged messages back and forth, but unfortunately haven’t been able to meet up, this is due to our side as Dd has been ill or we’ve been away/busy.
I felt bad for turning down so many invites and was due to possibly meet after school today, but Dd has been ill, so I messaged him to apologise and explained the whole situation about school, as Dd has been not wanting to go to school recently.
He was very supportive and said if it would help to get the girls together, he’d be there and that I didn’t owe him any explanation of course, but that he appreciates me taking time to text him and that it speaks volumes about the kind of person I am.
Is this a really nice thing to say? It’s been a while since someone’s said something like that to me.
