Omg!! Omg!!

[Jeannie]

I went for my first dress and drive tonight and I am shaking so bad I am having a Jim Beam on the rocks to settle my nerves. I didn't go very far only about three miles one way but it as fantastic. The most nerve racking part was getting in and out of the car. I have woods on one side of me and woods to the back but my neighbor on the other side is pretty close about 30ft away and he keeps a big light on over his workshop 24/7 so if anyone was going to see me it would be him. My wife went with me so she got in the car first then I made a mad dash to car and hopefully no one saw me. Once in the car everything was much better and it being night no one could see me while we were driving. I didn't stop anywhere to get of the car and walk around, I do that here very late at night so I didn't need to tonight but maybe sometime in the future I will be brave enough to try that away from the house. During the drive my skirt was over my knees and it felt very good and kind of sensual. I think it felt the way a woman would feel it, I asked my wife and said that for her it was no big deal but she understood why I was feeling it that way. She was also very understanding about my nervousness and she would ask me every now and then if was I OK and was I enjoying the drive. I said OMG yes! When we got back home she went in the house first and opened the side door so that I could again make a mad dash this time into the house. I am ecstatic and now planning my next adventure. I even took a purse with me that had my wallet, lipstick (a girl never knows you know) and compact (powder) in it. I was dressed in a black top and skirt both very slinky and a pair of black sandal type heels. No hose, because I wanted to feel the sensation of bare shaved legs. I shaved everything this afternoon because I have been dressed almost all day. Well that's my story and I have now completed one of my dreams so on to the next one. Thanks for allowing me to share this with you and I know it is mild compared to what some of you do but everyone has to start somewhere and sometime so this was mine. XXXXOOOO!!!

Now that you have gone where not so many of us have gone before it will become easier next time. You don't have to run to and from the house. If you are seen there won't be any reason to run back or hurry and fall trying to get back. Walk like a lady if you look like a lady. I have gone to my car I don't care who sees in fact I want them to so it is easy. I have moved past all my fears. I just go. But go slow if you need to. You will probably help a lot of us who need to complete an adventure. When your comfortable go again. You wife is a real trooper to go with you to help calm your fears. Good luck!

Very cool, I'm glad that you had a great experience. Next time, don't run for the house, it will raise suspicion.

[Barbara Ella]

It is wonderful that one of your dreams has been completed. Next time dont panic and run. You are a lady and should comport yourself like one. You can do it. All I have done is to walk down the front walk to the mailbox to get the mail at night, no wig or makeup, but full femme otherwise, and it feels good. So glad you started.

That is soooo great. I have only gone in my yard all dressed wig and all and I was so nervice but it was cool. I hope some day to go out. But I'm so happy for you!

[Wendi_cd]

I went to the grocery store late one night, once, in high heels. After walking around the grocery store for what seemed like forever (I swear, I think my g/f was trying to show me off) we got what we went for and left. OMG, how do spend all day in high heels? My legs were on fire by the time we left.

Sadly, haven't been out in public since.
I still have a mild fantasy about going through a drive thru though.

[Rachel Morley]

Hello Jeanine,

Thanks for sharing this! ... I loved reading people's stories of their first time out, mostly because it reminds me so much of my first time out. I too went out for a dress and drive and also my wife, just like yours, came with me and she was also constantly checking on me and how I was feeling and that I was shaving a nice time. Wives like ours are rare and wonderful things (not that our wives are "things" but I'm sure you know what I mean) ... anyway, yay! for you ... you did it and it felt wonderful. No doubt with your wife helping and you embracing doing what you've always wanted to do, 2012 is going to be a great year in your house!

:^5: Congrats Jeannie for getting out of the lamp!!

[carnut62]

It is a great feeling to get out. I would say the most nerve racking part is getting out of my neighborhood, I have to drive a mile to get to a main street. After that it is smooth sailing, relax and drive farther than 3 miles. Go fill up the car with gas somewhere, it is a rush. For my first time I went and checked the my PO box at the post office at 11pm and there was someone else there :o

[Marleena]

Atta girl Jeannie, now the fun begins!:) Congrats!

[sammysaenz]

Very exciting story. Happy to hear your wife took part in it and was very supportive. Can't wait to hear the next adventure

[Cynthia Anne]

I love your story! I had to laugh when I pictured you running! Girls shouldn't run in heels!! If you had of twisted an ankle and fell your neighbor may of been the first there to help you up!:eek::heehee: Hugs!:)

[Gianna]

Wow Jeannie!
What a report! As I began reading I started to get nervous and could feel my heart pounding when you stepped out to the car for the first time. I could just imagine the excitement you felt as you 'put it out there' and drove away! I agree with your decision to go with bare shaved legs - it must have been exhilarating! (I might have a difficult time driving because of all the spot checks I would make staring at my legs).

You should be proud of facing your fears and you deserve all of the adrenaline high you earned by doing what many of us only dream of doing. You are one lucky lady to have a wife as understanding as yours. Great job and we'll be pulling for you next adventure you embark on. Please send another trip report!
Gianna

[NathalieX66]

Yay! good story. love it! :cheer:
I went out first ther first time since college almost exacty two years ago.
Sounds liken you have a tolerant wife....of which i would think you will inevitably need to discuss with her what the ideal arrangement would be as to any public outings.

[Stephanie47]

I'm happy you enjoyed your first auto trip. Please, do not run! You may twist your ankle, break a heel, etc. If your wife was driving there would be no reason to run for the car. Wouldn't it look as if two women were going out? If the neighbor's workshop window is closer to side of the car you're getting into, then just have the car turned the other way. That way you'll be getting into the side further from the window and partially blocked by the body of the car.

I would suggest an evening stroll with your wife when it is raining. There are usually fewer people out when it is raining. Get one of those big golfing umbrellas you can share with her. They are great for shielding a face. And, she can hold you back so you do not accentuate the male walk. I love going out during inclement weather. Another plus is the cool or cold air blowing up my dress. That gives me a rush.

[Diane Smith]

Wow, that's absolutely great. I wish I had had a cooperative friend to help my first few times out around the neighborhood. Having someone to watch your back would make it so much easier, and being able to talk to someone in real time about it keeps the nerves under control.

Congratulations.

Thanks for allowing me to share this with you and I know it is mild compared to what some of you do but everyone has to start somewhere and sometime so this was mine. XXXXOOOO!!!

But it wasn't "mild," for me, Jeannie. I read your story with a vivid imagination that it was me on my first "full" dress(ing) outing with my SO. Aren't they, i.e., "those supporting SO's, the greatest in the world?" :love:

I do so hope that it doesn't take me almost five years, too, to do what you've now finally gone and done?:daydreaming: If that were the case, that would mean I only have 3 and 1/2 years left to go, yeah! But, go I will, as she said only tonight that "I will have to practice in my new 3" high heels, or I'll break my neck?" :devil: Great story... :heehee:

Congrats, girl, you've done it. :thumbsup: L&R

The most nerve racking part was getting in and out of the car. I have woods on one side of me and woods to the back but my neighbor on the other side is pretty close about 30ft away and he keeps a big light on over his workshop 24/7 so if anyone was going to see me it would be him.

Well, if by "me" you mean your male persona the chances of your neighbor seeing him are pretty slim! You probably look so different en femme that your neighbor wouldn't recognize you *unless* you draw attention to yourself by doing something unusual like rushing to the car! :)

Congratulations on your first steps out! We're not engaged in a competition, so don't worry about the "magnitude" of your experience. You did great and achieved the goal you desired which is all that counts.

Give your wife an extra hug for us. She's a gem!

[joanna4]

Congrats girl. I also went out tonight after a hiatus.

[Natalie D]

Hi Jeannie,
What a great feeling it is! I ventured out for my first walk early hours of Boxing day. I figured that would be the quietest time of the year. Not sure what my next adventure will be.
I wouldn't worry to much about the neighbour seeing you. If you are with your wife and in the dark there is very little chance of him recognising you.

Hopefully it will give you the confidence to try more outings. Sounds like you have a very supporting wife to help you.

[vivianann]

Congrats jeannie, what an excillerating feeling on your first time out of the house. Please dont run too fast, you might slip and fall. Any way this is just the beginning, the next step in the future will be getting out of the car at a convenience store or walmart, or the mall, now that will be a rush your first several times. I am so happy for you.

[Mollyanne]

I hope you really didn't make a "mad dash" as you put it to and from the house. This is one sure way for your neighbor to spot "something". Just try walking to and from the car, it is much less nerve wracking and nobody will notice. Btw, garages are fabulous for not getting noticed!!!!!!

Hi Jeannie,

Congratulations on your first outing! Believe me, I think all us who have done this shared so many of the feelings -- fear, nervousness, anxiety (not the best to have when you are driving -- glad you made it safely!), then the obvious worries about how we look. Then when all is said and done, there is the sense that "Wow, I actually did it!" and maybe "That really felt good!.

It is wonderful that your wife was willing to share this with you -- most of us weren't that fortunate.

[PretzelGirl]

Yea Jeannie! I am another one that thinks the first time out stories are one of the highlights here. Definitely give your wife one of these for us. :hugs:

Curiosity question. Was doing the driving part of the thrill? If you were that nervous, it may have been better to have her drive. If you feel that way next time, maybe it is a consideration?

[Veronica Lacey]

Congrats! Nice to read that your wife is part of your adventures.

[docrobbysherry]

Jeannie, the thing about your story is; nearly ALL Of us have been thru the EXACT SAME THING! And, had the EXACT SAME FEELINGS! Because, there's ALWAYS that FIRST TIME for everyone!

And now for u, as it is for so many of us, dressing and going out will never be exactly the same ever again! There's only ONE first time! THANK GOODNESS!

[Jilmac]

This is your first baby step in your long road to the adventure of femininity.

[Beverley Sims]

When I think about it all the early baby steps were a thrill.
The shift these days is to be successful in going out and communicating with others in the community.

[Lori B]

Congrats! Nice to read that your wife is part of your adventures.
I agree....that`s nice that she`s accepted to that extent...lucky you:)

[AnitaH]

Like some of the others, I too like these first time out stories. There's nothing like those first times. May your experiences all be good ones.

AnitaH

[RenneB]

Great story Jeannie. My first drive was a lot like yours only alone. The first thing I noticed in getting in the car with heals and corset on was that the seat position didn't fit me. That was so wild, it was as if I had physically changed. So I adjusted the seat up closer to the wheel and the tilt also... Then, with the heart beating a million miles an hour, had to turn the heat down to where the ac was on, even though it was almost freezing out, I was heating up the inside....

Next you'll be a day runner and having a blast.... remember baby steps girl...

Renne.....

[patti1569]

Jeannie, we are linked in a great way! The other night was my first time out as well! I went out again tonight to keep my momentum going. haha. It was a blast and was even better than the other night. Go back out! It's funny, the other night I realized that I didn't have my phone or my ID with me on my drive. At that moment I realized that I needed a purse :)! A girl never knows haha! Contrats on your adventure out sister! Glad we share the date! xx Patti.

[linda allen]

Jeannie, you don't know how lucky you are having a wife who will support you and even go out in public with you.

I have to agree with some of the other posts, don't run or do anything else that will call attention to you. You and your wife can just walk out the door like two friends or sisters. Same for when you come back home.

Have her drive just in case there's an issue, wreck, DWI checkpoint, etc. And with your wife with you, there should be no fear getting out of the car, walking around a mall, park, etc.

[kimdl93]

Jeannie, I'm so glad to hear that you were able to share that first tentative step outside with your wife. Make sure you show your appreciation for her support and encouragement. And next time, just relax a bit and don't worry about anything. As long as you don't go to places that are inherently dangerous, the two of you can let yourselves enjoy the expereince.

[Jeannie]

Hi everyone. I love you guys so much for all you do and the enormous support you give. When I first came out to my wife I never envisioned being able to go out any where fully dressed. I have been out under dressed and I have driven in heels before, but never combined the two until now. Were it not for this forum I would never have even thought that it was possible but you made it happen for me. My wife is my true soul mate and we made an agreement right after I came out to her that we would always do new things together and that has been the case for the last 22 years. She has made it possible for me to be who I want to be and I have in turned always been there for her. That is why it pains me terribly to hear when someone's relationship ends because one or the other doesn't take the time to understand why. My advice to couples has always been Talk, Talk, Talk but never argue or say hurtful things out of ignorance, spite or just plain arrogance. There is middle ground. There is a way. Arrogance, ignorance and hurtful spite are not the answer.

I assume that Boxing Day is a very big event in England and is on the same scale as the Super Bowl or something here in the colonies.

I always tell my wife about the things that all of say in regards to her and she always very appreciative and tells me to thank everyone for their comments. I don’t always tell you but I mean to do it.

[Claire Cook]

Yea Jeannie! I am another one that thinks the first time out stories are one of the highlights here. Definitely give your wife one of these for us. :hugs:




Sue, that's an interesting point. I'll bet we all remember that first time, no matter how oftern we've been out and about.
