Search Results: changing style

So your partner can change you in many ways... but what we're talking about here in specific, is the way you dress.

My girlfriend sure did change the way I dress... in the way that's option 3 on the poll.

So before, basically, I used to be a bit too prude and conservative. I wouldn't ever wear shorts even if it was 100 degrees out and I was gonna spend a lot of time outside, I wouldn't take my shirt off at the beach, etc.

And be aware, this is in Orlando, fuckin', Florida... the literal Sunshine State. Even in the summer!

And my girlfriend didn't say anything the first couple of times, but one day she said, "Sweetie, I know that a more modest style is more-so your thing, and I totally respect you for it... but I imagine that long pants and a shirt on at the beach when in a Florida summer is just so damn uncomfortable! I certainly could never do it. I don't like to force you to do anything, but please try wearing shorts, or taking your shirt off at the beach at least once, and see if you like it. There's nothing wrong with showing your legs or taking your shirt off at the appropriate setting."

And so I did just as she said... and boy, I've never felt better!


Actually dressing cool for when it was hot out and we were gonna spend a lot of time out just felt so free and relaxing! And sorry if this is too much information, but it felt nice to actually hug my girlfriend in her bikini, and actually feel her skin against mine, rather than just feeling her on my shirt. And rubbing my bare knees against hers feels nice, too.

I still retained my more modest long sleeve and long pants style, for most of the time... but when we're actually gonna spend time outside, it's only shorts from now on! And at the beach, shirts are a no-go for me! Much more comfortable!

After a couple years of marriage talk, she proposed to me 2 months ago and I said "yes".

The idea of the details around the ring popped into my head, but I started to think maybe she didn't want one. Neither of us wear jewelry. So I kind of assumed we would likely end up just wearing wedding bands.

The other day she brought up the ring. She said she wants one to start sending a message without words she is engaged and not available. Great.

She doesn't like diamonds. She thinks they are bland and boring. She likes colorful precious stones. She wants it to be somewhat heavier than the usual engagement ring. She wants a custom style. She said "I will help pay for it as I feel as it is my ring, and we are a team, we should both invest into it." Great.

I told her I wanted to look at some rings together to get an idea. She became frustrated and said "Just go find one. Or have one made. You know the basics of what I like. Just go do it."

I am not sure what to do. She is so damn picky and I know her mind could change regarding involvement tomorrow. Should I wait and see if she wants to get involved? Or just go buy one on my own?
