Therefore, what I would suggest is that instead of HD offering an "I'm sorry I frightened you." vibe, he should simply reflect back "When I put my hand on your breast, you felt frightened."

Mojo, well said!

FWIW I think this is a great point for HD. Yes MsHdog was frightened (or disrespected, etc.). In the future letting her know he recognizes her feelings is okay. However recognizing her feelings does not mean he has to take responsibility for those feelings.
