_________ ღ theodore “teddy” conrad gardner .
AGE thirty BIRTHDATE / ZODIAC september 28, 1989 / libra OCCUPATION regional manager of gardner hotels GENDER IDENTITY / PRONOUNS male he/him SEXUAL ORIENTATION pansexual / panromantic LOOKING FOR friends, flings, whatever
right now, teddy probably wants to define his life in three stages: before, during, and after. there was the before, in which he lived his idyllic life in south carolina, right by the beach and pestering his younger sister. from his childhood, he developed a love of sailing, family, and wanting to please his father. all three things have followed him through his current phase of life. teddy certainly did not grow up wanting for anything– such are the perks of being the prince of gardner hotels– but unlike most spoiled young men, he learned to appreciate what he had.
teddy went to vanderbilt university in nashville to get his degree in hospitality. really, his father was trying to scout a location for a gardner hotel and wanted to make teddy the manager. it didn’t quite work out that way. see, somewhere along the way, theodore met charlotte. maybe they bonded over their cute, kitschy nicknames (teddy and charlie), maybe they were both ridiculous fans of the nashville predators, maybe they both loved to wander through the peach orchards outside of town, or grab an iced coffee and sit as the hot, dusty air lazed around them, but whatever the reason… teddy fell hard for charlie. she was a spitfire, the smartest person he’d ever met. he could listen to her talk for hours and barely wanted to reply. teddy wanted to peel apart the layers of her mind and memorize every single one. so when he asked her to marry him, there was no question about it. they were perfect.
at least, that’s what he convinced himself.
teddy, to this day, doesn’t know why she didn’t show up for the wedding. he has a distinct, extremely vivid memory of kissing her on the forehead as they left the rehearsal dinner. he remembers texting her goodnight, and their agreement to simply exchange gifts the morning of– until they went their separate ways to get ready for the ceremony. none of that happened. he’d been left. to this day, teddy hasn’t really been able to get over it. it’s only been a year, which is fine, but he’s never had the closure he’s needed in order to move past it. that’s what brought him to nyilu.
well, specifically, his father brought him to new york as regional manager of the east coast division, but teddy has decided it’s high time he start getting himself out in the world again, even if it’s only to make a few friends and not sit at home wallowing in his own misery. he’s hoping something will come out of it, at the very least.
_________ ღ profile.
THE FIRST THING PEOPLE NOTICE ABOUT ME IS…. Goodness, I have no idea. I suppose I’m not the person to ask that question, really. Hopefully it’s whatever tie I’m wearing that day. I make it a priority to wear something interesting.
BEFORE I MEET UP WITH SOMEONE IN REAL LIFE, I NEED TO KNOW… Your favorite type of drink, of course, so that I can properly take you out somewhere that you’ll enjoy.
MY TYPICAL SATURDAY LOOKS LIKE… If the weather’s nice, I’m typically on the water for most of the day. Sailing is one of my hobbies, and it’s one that I enjoy as frequently as possible. I always call my sister and make sure she’s alright, and then I’ll typically treat myself to take out and a movie.
