Dealer, all white, match points.

1, pass, 1, pass to you.

Do you like your hand in light of pard's 1S bid? Weighed up 1N, 2 and 3 at the table - what's the textbook response?

2D.

You could sell me a 2S raise, if I had a 6 carder, but I have a 7 carder,
I will repeat my suit.

Why 1NT? Do you have a semi bal. hand?
3D will get you over bord, you will end up in a lot of hopeless 3NT
contracts.
If you have game, partner will bid again.

With kind regards

2 is the textbook rebid. You are not strong enough for 3, which shows a strong hand. You are not balanced, or even semi-balanced, which rules out 1NT.
2 with 3-card support and a singleton is not totally silly, but with 7 diamonds it is much better to rebid the diamond suit.

Agree with the comments on the OP.

Off beat but will inject a vote for a weak 2d opening assuming pard knows this range.

I'm also a 2 bidder for the same reasons as the others suggest.
