If that were my only choice: Peggy. Without hesitation.

Re: 10-01-2014 Poor misguided Angel
Well, if we're running a competition for which current named character from the universe should be the one to pluck Ruby's fragile dew-bedecked blossom - on present form, it'd probably have to be Matt. Yes, yes, I know people would hate it, but Ruby is clearly heterosexual (and introducing her to any Kinsey 1-2 level inclinations she might have would just mess with her head sadistically - she's confused enough just now), and Matt seems to be about the only male character who's possibly sufficiently unattached, enjoys heterosexual sex, knows his arse from his elbow sexually and emotionally speaking, and at least tries to be a nice guy. At least Ruby would come out from the experience knowing how it's done correctly, and how good it can be mechanically speaking. And Matt would probably not behave much worse than she was half-expecting in the end.
Though I guess that Erik might also be a candidate.
However, I suspect that Ruby has quite a few dozen strips to work through her five stages before the subject becomes a live issue, so I'm sure we'll see some half-sensible candidates appear and develop by then.

I'd vote for Erik, too. He's non-judgmental, knows what he's doing, and doesn't sleep around on a committed relationship.

However, he probably has his own hang-ups. They aren't explicit at first sight, but the whole thing with Zii, both sexually and in terms of managing her band, says to me that he really wants a cray-zee relationship with a hot rock'n'roll chick.
In other words, I don't think that Ruby is his type.

But he'd let her down a lot smoother than Matt would, I think.

Sigh..yeah, I guess if Ruby's first has to be a guy, then Erik is it.Artemisia wrote:Oh, Spidrift. . .you know me. . .
I actually commented on the Ma3 thread that I'm starting to feel like Ma3 is dedicated to loving women whether the characters are male or female, and SDB is dedicated to loving men whether the characters are male or female.

It's moments like the last panel where you can really see the resemblance between her and Amber.
Good Lord. I'm shocked that all my years of shooting people in bunny outfits has in no way prepared me for this.

You know, considering how repressed and wound up Ruby is, i could see it all exploding at once and her doing something crazy that would make zii seem tame by comparison, she'd be much healthier if she just gave into her indulgences, just admit it to yourself Ruby, your a yaoi fan girl

Re: 10-01-2014 Poor misguided Angel
The trouble is, I just don't think they're on the same wavelength at all. Erik strikes me as the type to say that he's interested in women, not girls; chasing someone like Ruby would feel either creepy or boring from his point of view. And Ruby would be intimidated by his air of dubious cool, or would write him off as a poseur.Error of Logic wrote:But he'd let her down a lot smoother than Matt would, I think.
Whereas Matt doesn't have a type - or rather, almost everybody is Matt's type. Getting things right with a naive virgin would count as an interesting challenge for him. (It's one thing to be said for vain people; sometimes they put the effort in to justify the vanity.) And he doesn't seem to want to be a total jerk, and I get the impression that he's been honestly trying to improve lately, so the thing might not end too badly.
But as I said, this is all totally hypothetical. Ruby has to get through anger, bargaining, and depression yet before she hits acceptance; that should give Andy time to get hit repeatedly with a clue-by-four, or allow the plot to introduce a heterosexual male character who isn't an idiot, or whatever else might be needed to prevent Ruby's first time from being a total cluster... something.
