View Full Version : I went out last Saturday night and wished I had done it sooner

I've now been out dressed 3 times in my life. The first time was last halloween, the second time was in February at a CD convention in another city. Both of these times I got dressed in a nice hotel and headed out to a gay bar. There were a few of us girls that got ready and left the hotel together. Safety in numbers if you know what I mean. So those times don't really count in my opinion.
A month and a half ago I joined a local Tri-ess meeting and went to my first meeting dressed but I was dressed as a guy. It was a good meeting as I got to meet about 12-15 people from our group. The next get together was 3 weeks later which was last Saturday night. However this time it was not at a gay bar, it was at a CD friendly place though. I asked the wife if it was ok to go to this 'girls night out' and she said to go for it.
So I did some planning and made a later appointment with a makeup artist on last Saturday. The wife said 3 days prior "hey I will drop you off and pick you up if you want." I said sure I would love that. Well Saturday came sooner than I thought and before I knew it I was getting my hair and makeup done. Once they finished with me I got into the car and asked the wife if I should sit in the back seat because the windows are tinted. She said no its ok to sit in the front so I did. It was 6:30 and still daylight so I was darn nervous sitting in the passenger seat at stop lights. We finally got to the destination and parked the car then I got the cold feet syndrome.
You see I met a few girls at my first Tri-ess meeting and some of them said they were coming to this event but they are not my friends so its not like I have their phone numbers and can call them to say "hey are you coming?" I did not want to go in there by myself, so the wife said look stay here and I will go look in the bar and see if any girls are in there, I said great. She went in, came back and said are you sure you're at the right place? Because there are no girls in there, just a bunch of guys watching sports TV. Well now I have real cold feet so I tried to look up the phone number of this new pub. I got the number from 411 and called to ask the same old question like, "are you transgender friendly" or something along those lines but the darn phone number was out of service. I said to the wife take me home I don't like the feel of this. She said wait a little bit more we'll see if someone comes along. About 45 mins later some girls came to the front door of this old building that was now transformed into a mall. My wife said there you go I will wait a few mins for you to go in and get settled and then I'll leave and you can call me later for a pick up. I said great. I went in and met several new girls that somehow made it into the pub without me and the wife spotting them.
I had a few drinks of courage in the pub I decided to go out for a walk on this main avenue downtown near a park. There was a lot of foot traffic and open air restaurants on the street but I made it around the block and back to the bar. Then I got picked up by the wife, got undressed in the car and went home.
I should have done this sooner!!!
I love my wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you had such a positive experience. Your wife sounds like a real keeper (isn't that the greatest feeling) wish there were more like her. Give her a big hug from the rest of us. (I'm not complaining my wife fully supports me), I just know there are many who do not. I haven't been out yet so stories like yours help the rest of us to build some confidence. Thanks for the post.

Hugs

Your wife is a trouper. It was so great of her to help you through the night and keep you in the game. Next time invite her out for the evening!

Yeah I've invited her out before and she came out once in a but the last 2 times she said its not her thing and she tries to stay excited for me so I feel good about myself.
I have it pretty darn good. I just want to do this a little more often....

What a wonderful and remarkable wife you have. Give her a hug from each one of us. Do something very nice for her. Maybe take her to her favorite resturant, or some new clothes for her, or both. It's so good to hear stories like this.
Love & Respect.........Tara

So why did you get undresed in the car, you could have stayed fem until you got home, isn't it terrific to get in as much time as you can in a skirt in public.

I wished I didn't have to get undressed in the car before I got home but my teenage daughter would need a lot of therapy if I came through the door the way I looked!!! :)
There would be nothing better than spending a couple days as a woman. lol

Thanks Tara, I'm trying to do as many nice things as I can for her and telling her how beautiful she is. As far as buying some new clothes for her, she gave me a nice ruffly animal print shirt about a week before I went out on Saturday. She said she doesn't care for the shirt too much anymore and said it has the "cougar look" to it. So I took the shirt/blouse with me to a cool clothing store. The SA matched me up with some wicked jeans, a bolero, a very nice expensive belt and some necklaces. Real nice stuff marked down to 1/2 price for 170 bucks!
Well the next day my wife asked for her shirt back with the accessories and said that they looked too good on me. So I handed everything over except the jeans. What could I say? lol

I hope I have started a ritual every 2 weeks for the rest of my life to be out and about as a 6'2" 205 lb woman!!

This reminds me so much of my first time out a few months ago. My wife repeatedly pressed me to be braver and go beyond my fears, and it worked out so much better than I expected. Remember that feeling and you'll be more prepared to face those fears next time.

Good luck.
