Have met a very nice man after being a single parent for years, we are getting on very well and is all new and exciting.I feel like surprising him tomorrow but am aware that often men and women find different things sexy and have no men to ask! can anyone help?

Think I might stick at the no knickers for a bit of fun but thanks so much for the other suggestions. not likely to change my personality utterly but interesting to consider :-)

dh says

  1. Nothing
  2. nothing
  3. nothing.

Says yu can't go wrong with that.

WebDude · 04/09/2009 22:00

I think aRLcat has the answer (some silky underslip) and I'd suggest crotchless.

So yes, he will get a surprise, if you happen to be kissing, etc, but he won't have a thong to get in the way if things move on very quickly.

No knicks seems a bit tarty, tbh.

May I refer you to midnightexpress, WebDude?

ABetaDad · 04/09/2009 22:27

shineoncrazydiamond - oh dear. I dread to think what this was about and with whom.

"I was just taking about you today abetadad!"

On the issue at hand I find as I reach a certain age I am more like a classic car. I like to take a bit more time to get the engine warmed up but worth the wait nevertheless.

DH says in a choice between thong or none, then none, but he hates thongs.

hormonalmum · 04/09/2009 22:33

dh says both!!

Deemented · 04/09/2009 22:49

No knickers.

Actually DP got rather excited at the prospect. He remined me of the last time i went underwearless with a skirt on.

That car bonnet played hell with me back

MrsDanversWorksForTheDM · 04/09/2009 22:57

DH says slightly transparent French Knickers with hold-ups

2rebecca · 04/09/2009 23:06

I'm surprised so many blokes prefer holdups to stockings. Holdups give you a bulge above them if you're not stick thin which I find a bit unsexy. My bloke likes all the straps of suspender belts and I feel much sexier in stockings than holdups.

But hold ups somehow feel more secure when they're on!

mustrunmore · 04/09/2009 23:10

Nah, a betadad is 40ish, but likes to think that means he's older and justified in saying middle aged parental things, even though he's way off being an old man

Your OP made me this about this thread about the wind blowing skirt up whilst getting on the train from earlier!

With that in mind, I would suggest nice french knickers.

mustrunmore · 04/09/2009 23:21

Yep, thats what I mean by saying things an old man would say iyswim

AnyFucker · 04/09/2009 23:24

ABD is really a dirty old man who rather enjoys being chased by predatory ladies in 4X4's who want a date to play with him....

< sorry, ABD >

my Dh says no pants (though might be a bit much for a second date if you are after a third.....)

BitOfFun · 04/09/2009 23:46

Best flounce thread ever, I agree

TrillianAstra · 05/09/2009 00:03

DP says 'probably a thong'

Appparently he was never sure about the whole commando thing.

I don't knwo what he means, I am just typing it out.

austinsmam · 05/09/2009 13:14

DH says Stockings would make a bigger impression

pranma · 05/09/2009 16:39

My oh says no knickers a bit off putting at this stage-he says french knickers or tiny knickers much sexier,'the thrill of getting past them'he said
