What was the most memorable thing ever said to you

[sometimes_miss]

It was way back when I was 19, and for the holidays at work, everyone brought something to eat. I bake; I would make a pineapple upside down cake, or a chocolate layer cake or something. After a few holidays, one of the women said that I would have made someone a wonderful wife. At the time, I still thought that I was supposed to be a girl, so it made sense to me.
Over the next couple of years, I got some similar comments from other women there. Since I wasn't dating anyone, perhaps they thought I was gay or something, I don't know. It would be a few more years before I came out of my shell, and started dating some of those very same women, who would later have a very different opinion. But at the time, it just confirmed what I had then believed; that I was really supposed to be a girl.

Came out to a friend and she told me
"Flowers come in a vast variety of inviting shapes,color,growth, and more. Even some weeds have flowers but, anybody that can appreciate the beauty in life. Will appreciate all flowers regardless of what they are called."
And the other was
You can turn yourself into a real life monster and I will still love you.

Can't believe I forgot to post this one!

It was Thursday 22nd April 2004 and I had no idea I was a crossdresser. In those days I started and finished work around four hours earlier than my wife. When I got home that day I thought I would have a look through the black sack of clothing my wife was going to donate to a charity shop. Next thing I know I'm trying on the various tops, skirts and dresses. I was a lot slimmer back then.

As you all know dresses or women's tops don't fit properly without boobs so my next thought was to borrow one of my wife's bras and try a few things to fill the cups. I settled on rolled up scarves as the best of the available choices. Then I retried the tops and dresses until I found what I thought looked best on me. So with no wig, no makeup, just me in my wife's old clothes I settled down to wait for her to get home.

When she came into the house she took one look at me, smiled, and said "Well don't you look happy!".

GG Friend of mine saw me dressed and said, thats a very short skirt you floozie.
I didnt think it was but it always stuck in my mind.

It was when I was about 19. My mom came into my bedroom just as I was getting out of bed and she said to me, " You know, you really look like you would have been the daughter that I would have loved to have had".

At a retreat for gay/bi men, I dressed en femme for the Saturday night dinner and dance. When I walked through the door, a friend led the entire room in chanting ?You are beautiful!? three times.

Last New Year?s Eve, my girlfriend and I went to the annual party at a friend?s house. I couldn?t help noticing how many people I cared about were there. I felt so happy to be among them. Right after midnight, my girlfriend got on one knee, presented me with a tiara, and said, ?Will you marry me?? All our friends had come to witness that special moment.

All I had on was mascara, lipstick and my girl jeans

I was told by my wife that I look just like my sister. I told her that you should see me when I go all the way....

As he?s getting dressed:

?Do you want to go out for a drink some time??

Coming from a ?straight man? who said he would never be seen in public with a cross dresser - from prior messaging before meeting.

I said no as I?m not confident yet to go out in public yet. However I took his offer as a compliment.

Our CD club's Christmas Party had just ended and I was heading back to my hotel room in the elevator. I was dressed in a bright pink sequin mini dress. In the elevator was already was an older couple. The husband complimented by on how good I looked. Then the wife chirped in, "I use to have a body like that." So I think they did not read me, otherwise I would of said, "lady, there's no way you could of have a body like mine" in my deep male voice...

Seriously, there are definitely some great ones here!


So, I guess I'll share a few of mine...



- Years ago, my little social circle & I headed out for a night of clubbing & bar-hopping. We all met up at one of their houses first. As one of the GG's arrives, already knowing how I'll be presenting, she takes one look at me, and loudly exclaims... "Oh, my GOD!! You look like a GIRL!!!" The way she said it, was definitely a hard-hitting genuine compliment. Admittedly, I was looking pretty legit that night. Ah, to be young again.

Anyway, as we're out & about, having fun, getting tipsier & tipsier, she could *not* keep saying that every now & then, LOL! I mean, the first few times were very flattering. Then it became embarrassing (not sure more for me, or for her!). Then it just got a bit annoying. Granted, she was very nice & very cool for saying that, but enough is enough, ha!

So, another GG in our group, who's very straight-shooting, recognized what was going on, and even started feeling a bit annoyed, as well. But then she finally leans over to me, and says, "You know, not for nothing, but she's right... You *do* look like a girl!"

GG's... gotta love 'em!



- Another night we're out clubbing & bar-hopping. For this one, we're at a small-ish vanilla hetero place. Two single-person bathrooms there -- one for the guys, one for the ladies. Getting on in the drinks, and I *really* gotta go. So, what do I do? Use the men's... Apparently the *wrong* choice!

I finish up & exit the bathroom. As I do, there's a guy out there, waiting to go next. Surprised look on his face.

"Oh!" he says, but then double-checks the MEN sign on the door. "This is the *men's* room, you know. The women's room is around the corner...", pointing in the general direction.

I didn't say anything. If he only knew I *did* use the right one...


Anyway, back at the table I told my friends what had just happened. After some debate, they all came to a unanimous consensus: Looking the way I do? I *really* need to be using the women's room the rest of the night. I initially protested, but I knew they were right. So, grudgingly, I did. (And yes, the women's room there was *way* nicer inside! )



- Last up? Yet another night of clubbing & bar-hopping. This time, at a large-ish hetero dance club. Sitting around, having some drinks. Some of us danced... I didn't, not really my thing, at least in public, LOL. Some kind of catchy popular song suddenly comes on, one that many love to get up & dance to.

Before I know it? A cute guy appears at our table, puts out his hand to me, and asks me to DANCE!!

Total shock. Very surreal. Ummm, first time *that* ever happened! Still in disbelief, I just kinda waved my hand, shook my head & mouthed the words "NO, NO" to him. I felt bad, but what was I going to do??

Persistent little bugger, he was, of course... He puts out his hand once more, and asks again! UGH!! Same response from me, but this time I think I included a "No, thank you." He walks away, maybe a bit dejected? Like I said, I felt bad. He was actually kinda cute... A bit young for me, but still cute! Sorry, couldn't do it. I don't know if he thought I was a legit GG, or what. It wasn't *that* dark in there, and he really didn't seem intoxicated or anything. And again, this was a *hetero* club. So, I dunno?


Anyway, I turn & look at our GG-friend directly across the table from me, for a bit of support. And when I do? She's just staring at me, with her eyes bugged out & her jaw dropped to the floor!

"Did he... Did he just ask you to *dance*??"

"Umm, yup."

She then bursts into laughter, as she gets the attention of another GG-friend of ours, to excitedly tell her what had just happened.



Anyway, careful of that can of worms, ladies...

[TerriLynnCD]

Great stories Ellbee! Oh to be 25 years younger. Lol

[ellbee]

Thank you!


As mentioned privately to someone else earlier, who also enjoyed these...

Seriously, those were definitely some fun & crazy times. Memories that will last a lifetime!


Sadly, that social circle (GG's, gay males, one or two TG-types) & I eventually parted ways. Silly little argument that got waaay over-blown. And soon after, I moved out of the area, for other reasons.

Still love 'em to death, but sometimes people just need to move on. Came, saw, went.


Wouldn't have traded those experiences & relationships for the world!


P.S. For any of you looking to venture out? Going with others makes things so much easier -- and more fun!

At Halloween want to a party in a big apartment complex host by two sisters. They had a brother who was new to town, divorced, kind of lonely - and tall! He was friendly enough at the party, and I got up the courage to ask if he would escort me to some clubs the next night. He said yes!

I arranged to meet at his sisters the next evening. Of course I went home, went shopping the next morning for a new outfit, and prevailed upon two GG friends to do my hair and makeup. They wound up redoing my nails, loaning me a scarf, picking my shoes etc. The scarf made an amazing difference, very cute.

Went to Ann & Liz place and waited for Pete to show up. He came in and it was very awkward. But when we stood up to leave, Ann said, ?You two look great together!? I think we both blushed but it may me feel so much more confident! We went to a few clubs for drinks, laughed a lot and had a lot of fun. Even went back to his place for a nightcap (same apartment building as his sisters). He was a perfect gentleman and we went out a number of times that winter and became very close.
