I'm going out on the town en femme for the first time ever on Halloween night, I will be with my SO who is a little nervous about the whole thing. We are going to a bar with a drag show etc... but we are by ourselves. I have everything picked out and ready to go with a real beautiful ruffelled ball gown from sequin queen. The makeover will be done by a professional. So I will be noticed in many ways I'm sure. I felt why should I underdress for this occasion. Anyway my concern is having somebody trying to hit on me, trying to buy me drinks in front of my SO and causing her to feel uncomfortable. I want to do this again after halloween from time to time but I want to make her feel at ease and that I'm not alone at some bar with people or admirers trying to always hit on me. As I said she is a bit nervous, cautious and maybe still has those SO questions like is he really gay but doesn't want to admit it? Has anybody had outings that have gone bad on them making their SO feel small or insecure from situations like this? I should have gone to the local support group to see if there will be others around that night so I could kind of hang with a group but it just doesn't feel like its the right time to do that either. I don't want to dress down in jeans or in a cheap value village dress either.
