Ok, so today again for the second time, I ventured out en femme. Yes the genie is out of the bottle.
first the brief back story...no not that, but about our new garage door! Last month we (bf and I) had a new, really beautiful garage door installed. The old one was old and we needed something new and stylish to match the recent work we've had done on the house.
Now the incident:
Across the street our new neighbors (they have been there almost a year - and yes they know we are gay) well the dad, was out playing with his two girls in the yard. As I was backing out, and yes I am fully dressed) I hear: "Wait, wait wait" OMG I am thinking I just drove over a toy or something, I knew the girls were safe because I could see them in my mirror. I stop and he approaches my side, door. I opened it to get out, not even thinking, and he smiles and asks me about the new garage door! No reaction other than his smile. I instantly went into coming out mode (god knows when you are gay, coming out is a life long process), didn't flinch and had a pleasant conversation with him about how nice the new door looks and where we got it and how much it cost...all the typical neighbor things. I even told him that we are having a new driveway installed in the late Spring to finish up all the landscaping we did last summer. I acted normal, and best I could tell, we don't know them super well yet, he was perfectly okay with it.
Ok now my dilemma...actually two
I am thinking that I should approach him next time I see him out and about and just let him know that I like to express my female side from time to time. I really would like to discuss it so he and his wife don't make any bad assumptions. I think it is okay based on our conversation - I am pretty good at reading peoples emotions - but so, I would like to get it out in the open and let him know it's not some deep dark secret. Ok girls what say you all?
the second dilemma is somewhat minor: I need to tell my bf. He knows I like (want) to dress. But he has never really seen me all dressed up. I think it is time to open up to him about this, after all he lives here too! Again, thoughts? (but I already know the answer to this one)
love and hugs
