Serious Panic Here...

[catalina_francisco]

LOL, how could she not be charmed by the fact you appear nervous and maybe due to that a little klutzy? It is those human qualities which attract us to others and show we all have our vulnerable side. Go with Betticus' advice on the safety first thing (saved me doing it ) and Gracie's advice about being you and not someone you aren't so down the road there is more heartache when you just can't keep up the pretence. I think I would give the drink a miss because I was going to suggest you eat earlier in the afternoon then let your stomach get a little empty so throwing up is less of a worry....unless of course you have issues like me where hunger can actually make you throw up at times or just go white and begin to pass out....oh well, if she is the heroine sort (or perverted) she might like the opportunity to catch you in her arms as you begin to slide to the floor. Have fun and just think about Star Wars more than the date until you feel calmer.....and it seems she might do the leading anyway so you just have to follow if you choose to.

Catalina (oh we also want details afterward...survival stories....pics?!!)

See, this is where I have an issue... I don't do girly well anyway, so I need to do like girly light or something. I'm not going to pull the skirt and heels thing cause that'd be silly. But I get the feeling that something more than my usual jeans, sneaks and long sleeved Tee may be in order.

Ooooo I think girly lite is really hot and a butch woman of Leather will too, I bet you.

I'd do maybe jeans with a girlier top than normal. Even if it's just a (ech) pink T shirt with a little more fit than you might ordinarily wear.

Do wear some kind of lip paint, even if it's just gloss.

*HUGGLES*
I'm sure things will be fine.

As to the motorcyle- I'd recommend jeans, real shoes (preferably boots) and a girly top, with or without jacket depending on the weather.

Good luck!

She lives in Arizona and it's July, lol. She won't need a jacket, just something to protect her arms from bugs.

 

[bronntanas]

She called! Outstanding! (I told you she would!)

First things first, Lil Bit.

Breathe.

**mentally rifling through snowy's closet**

I'm thinking if the weather breaks this week and the rain EVER comes; black jeans, those cute little ankle boot thingies, that dark blue blouse with the black buttons, and mariposa's leather jacket to keep the rain off and the warm in at the movie theatre. (They keep the auditoriums sub-zero over there.) If you're going to the one we were talking about, it's close enough to your house to keep from melting under the leather. If it hasn't started raining yet, go for the pegged dark blue jeans and the purple high-top sneaks, with that dark purple sleeveless silk shirt under the tuxedo shirt you stole from m- er that I forgot. There's just some really sexy and girly lite about a girl in a guy's shirt. Take the denim jacket to keep the warm in (even though I fully recommend snuggling, woman! That's the best way to keep warm in the theater.) and the rain (mostly off). See if you can bribe someone to do one of those fishy braids. You know, the ones with the narrow criss-crosses? Ladies, help me out here please, I have no idea what they're really called. Oh, and find out if she's jonesin' on your specs. If she's not really, WEAR YOUR CONTACTS so she can see your eyes and the glasses won't get in the way if you start snogging on each other. I think the really important things is contacts and your hair back because you tend to hide behind them. (Am I right ladies, and gents?)

Other than that, relax, have fun, listen to gracie and netzach and catalina and bandit and cc and Vixie and Miss Karen and anyone I may have missed because they're on the other page.

Herringbone. I can do them. *flies out just to do snowy's hair*

Relax. Have fun. Wear the contacts. Wear a jacket to protect you in case... and enjoy yourself.

 

[bronntanas]

Thank you sunfox, I knew it was something like that. Snowy, listen to the lady.

 

[snowy ciara]

Thanks everybody. I'm more rational now. I don't guarantee that I'm going to stay that way.

Bronn, alls you have to do to get your shirt back is come on back again and pick it up. It's too tight across your chest now anyway, dear.

 

[rosco rathbone]

That's why I fell for, the leader of the pack. vroom vroom vroom vroom.

Have fun.

 

[snowy ciara]

Thanks Mr. Rathbone. I get the feeling you're having a sadistic chuckle over the girly girl facet of the situation.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Thanks Mr. Rathbone. I get the feeling you're having a sadistic chuckle over the girly girl facet of the situation.

I'm rather amused at the whole spectacle, yes. I'm picturing you doing songs from Grease; like "does he have a car?".....

 

[snowy ciara]

"Summer Lovin'"

If the motorcycle guys in Grease were girls...

You know, is it really such a big deal, what you wear? I do understand the jeans and doing your hair because a cycle can burn your legs and do nasty rats to your hair. You should keep your mouth shut, too, or don't they have flying bugs there?

But, shit...just be yourself. Weren't you being yourself when she sat beside you, before? What did you talk about then? Maybe you can continue a conversation on a topic you talked about.

I might only be a man, but all of this talk about clothes and how to act and shit like that...wear what helps you relax and be yourself. If she asked for your number because she liked you, isn't that the hurdle you're now over?

If you start acting differently now, that might make her wonder why you are acting that way and get self conscious, herself, wondering what's wrong with her.

OK, maybe I don't know anything, so don't follow my advice. I know I'm hetro, but I'd like to see a nice ass (the jeans take care of that), a nice smile, and I think I would melt, when she put her hands around my waist to hold on while the rumble of the bike between our legs started up. How cool a feeling is that? Wow!

You'll have a great time. I think you'll cause her to be nervous.

So you don't like it when you go to get a girl and realize she went a little out of her way to look pretty for you?

Thanks for the input DVS...

The thing is, I'm not trying to change the way I act aside from the fact that I'm scared to damned near to death because I don't date. I would like to not appear all nervous and weird and look stupid. I'd like to evict the butterflies from my stomach somehow before Saturday.

The girly girl clothes thing.

She likes me both ways. I know this because she mentioned it. She likes tomboys (thinks they're hot making) but for the bbq I dressed up a bit (wore a skirt and everything) because I wanted to look nice for my friends. It wasn't a super dressed up occasion, but I felt it was worth more than the usual cut off jeans and sneaks. She noticed it, and liked it, too. She went out of her way to comment on it. So I'm thinking that it would be a friendly gesture, a nice way to say I'm interested, by doing similar on Saturday. I can't wear a skirt on a motorcycle, and I have a whole two pairs of jeans that aren't beat to pieces. I'm not going to go all biker bitch or sex kitten on her; I can't even think of that with a straight face. But yes, I would like to pull off looking a little "more" than usual without going over the top. So I'm sort of floundering here.

Awww, wanna Betticus phone call?

 

[snowy ciara]

I get an offer like that after I've left? Grrrrrrr.......

 

[AngelicAssassin]

Of course, but then it's all wrapping paper in the end, and i don't refer to just the clothing.

...

Yes, you are.
I even (usually) need help and support on my clothing from my sister when I go out to a party or something.
I would be hell nervous and asking as many people as possible about what to wear, what to do, how not to be clumsy...
Now, Snowy, that it isn't me going, I can say that the clothing advice sound pretty cool to me. Wear a jacket (leather would be best) no matter the weather, because crashing with a motorcycle is unpleasant as it is, no need for burning away all the skin. I agree, too, that she won't mind you being nervous. It usually helps to see the other person nervous, too, to relax with each other.
Have fun!

 

[snowy ciara]

Thanks Chris...

After a long talk with a sane mind (thanks Sane Mind) that was interrrupted by a T storm, I escaped to the mountains for a few days and proceeded to walk barefoot along a lake for a while. It helped 'til I got home and discovered that it's now friday night and by this time tomorrow I'm gonna be out on my first real date thingie in forever. But I'm doing okay, I think... I may have to bug some of our more knowledgable posters about Leather stuff though....

*Hugs snowy*
Just think of me, I'm going to my first munch/play party tonight with Master and my new lady friend You think you're nervous!! Master has told my friend that if she wants to take me up and tie me to the St Andrews Cross she can

I hope He was kidding...........

 

[snowy ciara]

hugging and groping You'll have a wonderful time and I've heard the cross is tons of fun. Every now and then when I need encouragement and remembrance of what I escaped from I pull up Mr. Gil's abuse/recovery thread. I see how far you've come since then and get all inspired. You rock, and you're gonna knock their socks off tonight.

*double hugs and gropes back*
Even if I don't "take part" as it were it'll be quite an education! Not bad for a shy girl from the country The last 3 years have been a great learning curve

I'll pass on what you said about the thread to Master Gil, He will be very happy that it's helped one more person

 

[snowy ciara]

Gonna hug and grope on my account too? PLEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEEEEE?

Hehe hugs and gropes all round!

Send Help. Please. I have 'til Saturday to get over being nervous because I'm pretty sure tossing one's cookies on one's date is Bad Form.

Sorry for the double posting (similar thread on the glbt board) but I know more people over here, so I thought I'd ask y'all, too.

Enjoy the movie and let things fly!
