Lindy, I like the gradual approach with the stockings and the basque (takes me back to the days when I used to wear such things for fun instead of camouflage
) I'll just have to trust that he likes the whole present once the wrapping's off
Voo, very good point about men's inbuilt indicators. I'd completely forgotten about that - shows that it's been way too long
.
I can't see my body as attractive so I can't understand how he can, so out of fear of rejection I've been denying him the chance to prove me wrong. It's so good to hear about loving men like your guy who really don't mind.
I like your fortune cookie. It's like the one about the old lady who said she'd had a lot of troubles in her life, and most of them had never happened.
Elizabeth, great to hear that you too, have a good man
If my love can get over the visual aspects there won't be any other problems. I'm confident what happens next. It's been a long time but I don't seem to have forgotten how it goes
Art, you're right, I've been basing my fears more on how I think men in general would react to my body rather then how my man would.
I'm also depriving myself of the chance to show him how much I love him.
Many thanks to all of you for all the help and encouragement
He's been faithful, patient, loving and courteous for a year now, never putting any pressure on me, so finally getting there should be a memorable occasion for us both
Yes, I'm still terrified of rejection, and will probably rely on Dutch Courage to get me there
But I will.
