In which department are we talking the bedroom maybe

BROWNY · 04/08/2006 13:06

How about buying some lovely massage oil and offering to give him a back masage? You never know, he might return the favour!

Somanybabyseagulls · 04/08/2006 13:23

In all departments really. Dp said he was taking me out tonight to a lovely restaurant and I want to look sexy for him but not in a tarty way.

Nice underwear, start as you mean to go on. Have a nice bath/shower put your favourite perfume on. Small amout of make up. Do you hair. Pick something to wear that you feel comfortable and attrative in.

Somanybabyseagulls · 04/08/2006 13:38

Don't feel attractive in any of my clothes. Maybe I need to do a bit of shopping!

beng sexy is about being confident i believe . aviod anything that you will be uncomfortable in and hold your head high . maybe order food that you had on a night out in start of relationship , making it seem like you have just got together iyswim. remeber he loves you regardless and be yourself .

im not a great one to talk though i hate myself physically and i dont make any effort so maybe i should take a leaf out my own book

have fun x

Smile. A lot.

Touch him when it isn't stricly necessary.

Is he an underwear guy? Indulge him.

Can you arrange timing so that you can have sex after dressing up but before you go out? Get the babysitter to come a bit later (as it were). I'm always so tired by 10 pm, 7.45 is a lot more humane.

Smile and listen to him. Don?t feel like you need to "be" anything. Just relax and have a lovely time. Tell him how much you love being with him and enjoy the moment.
Wear gorgeous underwear, your favourite perfume and jewelry etc Don?t worry too much about looking sexy. Just look happy and enjoy each others company. After all, he married you so there must be plenty there he finds sexy!!

This is a hard one without knowing what you are like normally. What is your normal going out gear like? What is your relationship like? Tell us a bit more about you and it might be a bit easier to give some suggestions.

hermykne · 04/08/2006 14:04

is there an outfit he likes or has commented on that you could wear, without going shopping

i'd have a blow dry for the hair and do nice simple makeup and the clothes wont really matter, you'll be looking at each other accross a table!
jeans and white crisp shirt could be just as sexy as a low cut top/dress.

sassy · 04/08/2006 14:08

What about going commando (if comfortable w/it); don't tell him until you're sat at table.

he could well be wowed by this.

Somanybabyseagulls · 04/08/2006 14:08

Great advice so far, thanks everyone.

Ags, i'm a jeans and t shirt girl at heart. Dp and I have a fantastic relationship, I just want to look so fab that he literally won't be able to keep his hands off me!

DING, DING, DING!!!! Bells just rung. Having typed my last post, realise now that it's probably me wanting dp to initiate sex more! He's very much a 'just need to do an email/phone call' type, so I have to wait.

I think it you have confidence then he will fine this sexy.
Does he like underwear you could tell him when your out what you've got on and what you want him to do for you.

Somanybabyseagulls · 04/08/2006 14:26

dh loves underwear. Heavenis, you are a star!

Definately agree you need to get yourself ready in a way that makes you feel like you made special effort. Possible? Know I would find it tricky with children around.

Also, talk about the good times in the past over the meal especially about when you first got together. Maybe first time you kissed/ shagged. You can be as detailed as you feel comfortable to be. That is a good way to get both of you round to feeling sexy.

You could even tell him you reaaly wanted to be sexy for him tonight. Guaranteed to make him feel very special.

Enjoy it.

hermykne · 06/08/2006 11:43

what did you wear and how did it go??????

Somanybabyseagulls · 06/08/2006 17:52

Decided to wear something simple, navy trousers with a 'posh' vest top, frilly straps and sequins, felt pretty good. Wore lip gloss over lippy for first time in god knows how long.

We had a lovely time, lots of chatting, reminicing but found out that dh is pretty down about his weight and would have a lot more va va voom in the bedroom if he was a bit lighter. So guess which couple are on a diet! Thanks for thinking of me.

It is great that he told you that and now you can do something about it to make you both happier.

Somanybabyseagulls · 06/08/2006 18:26

I know jj, i just hate him feeling bad about himself, he is a wonderful dh and I just love him to bits.

OP posts:
jellyjelly · 06/08/2006 18:38

Do you often tell him he is the bees knees, how he makes you crumble all of those things. If not do you think it will make him feel better?

hermykne · 06/08/2006 18:57

seagulls it was worth for that, now you can "exercise" together , plus u know what he's thinking.

Somanybabyseagulls · 06/08/2006 19:34

Thanks all. I think he's gorgeous whatever size he is and I tell him all the time coz I really do love him to bits.
