Help with Surprise

I kind of feel like "surprising" my guy when he gets to my place after work tonight. I'm thinking of doing a quick lingerie shopping trip on the way home. I've thought of doing this before, but was always afraid I'd feel awkward just being in lingerie waiting for him to walk through the door. Is that silly? What else have some of you done?

Re: Help with Surprise

  • I think you could set youself up for disappointment, so I woudln't recommend it (but I realize others would). If your guy had a bad day/long day, a lot on his mind, in a bad mood, tired, has something he wants to do, phone call he needs to make, etc....he may not be in the mood for it right away...then you may feel a little crappy.

    My suggestions would be: text a picture of the lingerie and ask "if hes up for something special after work" or something kind of blunt(obviously whatever you feel comfortable saying)...or drop some kind of hint to set up the mood.

    But if your guy loves being spontaneous...why not!

  • I would go for it. I have done it before for my man and he very much appreciated it. I would have a glass of wine before he gets home, try and take the edge off a little. It helped me get in the mood and feel less embarrassed about what I was doing. Dim the lights or light some candles, not having bright lights on you will also make you feel more comfortable. If you are still doubting it a little I agree with pp maybe you could text him before he gets home just to see what his mood is like. But I would just go for it, be confident! I'm sure your man will love the surprise!! 

    GOOD LUCK!!  

  • i always felt kinda the same way that you did-wanted to do it, but seemed ackward. i find that if i do something to keep myself busy, so that it's not just me trying to sit ackwardly on a couch or something, i feel better. i usually try to keep busy in the kitchen. no matter what kind of day he has had, it always goes over well.

  • Totally go for it! If he does have a stressful job text him. Its fun to send sexy messages all day anyway and then when you both get home you are totally ready.
