Search Results: planning a trip

Three of my girlfriends and I are planning a trip down to mexico to relax on the beach. This weekend we were together talking about details and one of the girls suggested we all wear thong bikinis. Before I could say anything the other two chimed in and backed the idea. I told them that I didn't feel comfortable wearing a thong bikini (I mean bikinis are already pretty revealing) one of my friends suggested a one-piece thong bathing suit so I could still fit in with the group and have my cheeks exposed but have a bit more coverage. I am more open to the idea of wearing a one-piece thong bathing suit but I am not quite sure. Ladies if you were in my position and didn't want to wear a thong bikini, would a one-piece thong be a compromise you would make?

What they suggested I wear:

Over the past few weeks I have become totally smitten with a long distance crush. The short version - we work together (different companies), he lives on the other coast. In recent months I started to think he was flirting: touching, hugs for greetings snd goodbyes, more personal conversations.

He was recently in town and it escalated into a lunch date and a parting comment about wanting to hang out on his next visit. Combine this with comments about me visiting over the past couple months and it adds up to something. We uncovered we have a lot in common, and never seem to run out of things to talk about.

He returned home a couple weeks ago and we've been in touch via text. Now it looks like I'll be starting a new job. He suggested we celebrate by me visiting him and set a tentative date.

And now I realize I have no idea what this means about where things are headed. I know he is recently single. He knows I am as well. We haven't spent time together on a real "date." In terms of physical intimacy, it has been lots of hugs but nothing more.

My friend thinks this offer is code word for netflix and chill and I should plan accordingly. I wouldn't mind staying with him, and he has plenty of space. But really I just want to get to know him as a person at this stage. I don't like to jump into sex.

I could also make the trip about seeing other friends/family and only spend a little bit of time with him. That seems wrong too as a weekend would give us enough time to figure out if something is there. I think we'd have a great time planning multiple "dates."
