Many of us get scared at the thought of asking someone on a date. The thought of getting rejected is often too much for us to handle. Unfortunately, this fear holds us back from experiencing life to its fullest.

If you are like most people, you commute to work or school several days a week. During the trip, there is always a chance of getting in a car accident and getting killed or seriously injured. Does that risk stop you? Of course not! Yet, most men and women fear asking someone out on a date, which involves much less risk.

Why are you fearful of asking someone out? It is probably because you lack experience. The best way to conquer your fear is to face it, and take action anyway. The first couple of times will be terrifying, but as you put this into practice dozens of times, asking someone out will be easy.� It helps when you look good and feel good about yourself.� For the ladies who like to dress really sexy, especially in a club environment, try our sexy leather and vinyl outfits.� They will give you the sex appeal that guys outwardly look for.

If you lack the courage to ask someone out right now, take baby steps to help overcome your fear. Say hello to a stranger, or just strike up a conversation with a neighbor you haven’t met yet.� You already look good with your sexy lingerie on, but now you have to show your personality.� Easy on the pick up lines, because in this society today, nearly everyone is used to them, and bored of them.

Where do you find a prospective mate? The possibilities are endless. Most of us spend a major portion of our time at work, so strike up a conversation with a cute stranger in the break room! Guys, if you are looking for an available female, join a dance class, a cooking class, or a yoga class where females are likely to outnumber males. If you are a female looking for a guy, take a computer class or a class on auto repair, and there will be no shortage of males. If you happen to like the same sex, read my previous advice in this paragraph, and pretend it’s opposite day!

Get to know the person before asking them out. When you do “ask them out”, don’t say “Will you go out with me?” Just see if they want to hang out with you. Plan something much more interesting than “a dinner and a movie”. If you need ideas, take them miniature golfing, shoot some pool, or race some go karts.

Another reason why men and women fear asking someone out is because of the awkwardness of that first date. Think of dating as simply getting to know someone. This will ease the pressure that you feel tremendously. Remember, first dates are interviews, you’re asking questions and wanting answers, mainly to see if you are at all alike, can have a good conversation, etc.� If the night ends in romance, excellent! If it doesn’t, either the time has not come yet, or you were simply weren’t right for each other.

So if you’re single, take a risk and start meeting people! You may meet a wonderful man or woman that is just right for you! Take advantage of this great advice and of our sexy lingerie to help you out!

Do you ever wonder why a relationship can�t always be based on love? Don�t get me wrong, love is of the utmost importance in your relationship, but there�s more to the words �I Love You� than just saying the words. Saying and showing are completely different, so when you tell your lover that you Love them, are they going to believe you? How do you show them your feelings? Is it all words and no action, all action or no words, or a little of both? Hopefully, it�s a little of both, but words can get stale and repetitive, so it�s important that you show your lover how you feel.

Words can warm the heart, but so can sexy lingerie. A simple baby doll, fantasy costume or a sexy bra and panty lingerie set can help show them how you feel. This is especially helpful if you�re one of those people who can�t or chooses not to communicate your feelings with words, but with actions. Trust in Girlfriends Lingerie for your needs, because since 1999, we have made Fantasies a Reality, and will continue to do so as long as our loyal customers keep coming back to us.

Life is short, unpredictable, eventful, uncharted, and totally happens as it will. This means that we should not get too comfortable, complacent, or take it for granted, for we know not what lies ahead, no matter how invincible we have convinced ourselves we are…

There is much to be said on the subject of appreciating life, people, and what you have, but, today, we will merely touch on segments of this vast discussion. I think that we need constant reminders besides losing someone to keep us on course, and in gratitude for those in our lives. When we learn to appreciate through loss, often it is too late, and we have ignored certain obligations to those whom we have lost, but, if we can learn to embrace each day, each person in our life in the now, in real time, then when loss does occur, then we might be more accepting, and certainly more comfortable in the healing process…

Each day we should start the day by letting those in our homes know how much we love them, before we go our separate ways. And in the course of the day, we should let those near us see the best of our character and personality, for it is really not fair that they should have to deal with more than an occasional outburst, or other forms of bad behavior. Those we work with, those we play with, those we love, should only get the best of us…

Yes, we all have our moments of bad behavior, but, if we TRY, we can lessen these times, and lessen the impact. Too many people lash out all day long, taking their personal problems, impatience, and selfishness out on others, making everyone who comes into their contact suffer. You see it is like a domino effect; Joe wakes up crabby, brushes off his family, goes to the office and begins the day by yelling at people, who then feel his harshness all day long, and they in turn, might lash out at someone else, and when they get home, they are irritable and high strung, which hurts the people closest to them. If we could simply TRY to remember that one bad word, one attitude which is sour, one action which is uncalled for, affects MANY people in the course of the day, week, month, or year, then perhaps we could control our moods a bit better…

Living with the best of yourself is an ongoing practice of control, attitude, and belief that positive mentality and actions reaps the most rewards. Negativity of any kind, does nothing more than produce more negativity, and we all know that negativity dwells within, often creating more unnecessary troubles. Positive mentality and action also creates a domino effect, an effect which produces good all the way around; it is fair, selfless, and considerate of other people, which breeds the same from those around us. It is true, you get what you give…

My people, that is those around me, closest to me or not, deserve much better than a snotty, self consumed, irrational attitude and behavior from me, and I tell you, I certainly TRY to remember this at all times. Yes, time has taught me this, mostly from being treated so badly at work, or from being around crabby, selfish people, but, I have indeed, learned…

Life is short, precious, and the time you spend with other people should be an overall representation of the kind of person you REALLY are, the kind of person that does not have to make amends or excuses for their behavior, for you TRY each day to put the best of you forward that all in the world might embrace the person you are from deep inside…

It’s summer time and that means there’s a much better chance of seeing bare skin. Better yet, glowing and tanned skin! Especially if you work in an environment where the ladies dress according to the weather, seeing those long stems or getting glimpses of toned abdomens can almost act like an all-day aphrodisiac.

After work and weekends can feel like the summer vacation days of youth. Barbecues every night, softball and baseball games, going to the pool or beach, and just working in the yard can all seem so much more tantalizing and sensual than the long stretch of winter now behind us (there’s a reason why women are attracted to those hunky lawn boys and gardeners!).

You already know what you like in ladies’ summer fashions—the less the better, right? But, guys, how much thought do you put into what you’re wearing during the summer? Shorts, tee shirts, board shorts, and the like are all fine for the outside, but do you make any changes in your underwear choices for summer?

Perhaps you should. In fact, let me give you a woman’s perspective on men’s underwear choices. So when you do get the opportunity to take off your summer clothes, the ladies will be impressed by the fact that you’re not wearing some dingy tighty-whities!

Its About More Than Just Tighty-Whities

First off, I’m certainly not encouraging you to spend a lot of your free hours shopping for new drawers at the mall—how awkward! Nope, there are plenty of websites with good things for you to check out and some also have women’s lingerie. Pick up something for your gal at the same time!

Now, the type of underwear you choose is going to be somewhat reflective of your personality or, at least, the personality you want to present. So that’s where we’ll start.

If I see a guy wearing some basic briefs, as long as they aren’t white, I think they’re just perfectly normal. They don’t think about their underwear too much, but are aware enough to spice it up with different colors. Don’t get me wrong, though, some sparkling white (no stains allowed!) briefs on a summer tanned body can look awfully good, too, just don’t try to rock that look every single day.

Bikinis Are Not The Same As Tiny Speedos

Different varieties of men’s bikinis are also a good choice to show off summer bodies. There are styles ranging from the traditional narrow sides with more coverage in front and back, to some that are more moderate with more coverage all around but still more skin-baring than traditional briefs.

Different colors, different band widths, brand names displayed on the underwear, fabrics—all of these things can make a big difference in the bikini look. Generally, the rule should be: the more confidence you show in your bod, the less coverage you can get away with. Just, you know, beware of Borat issues that can make you look, well, comic.

Freshen Up Your Boxers For Summer

Boxers, of course, are still an option for summer wear. Switch these up, though, from your winter stock. Cotton is a good fabric choice for the summer, especially since it’s going to be hot!

It’s okay to get playful with boxers—brighter colors, stripes, plaid, etc. But no alcohol advertisements, smiley faces are pretty much out, as is anything that’s too cutesy or cartoonish. A good rule of thumb—if you can easily picture the pattern on a toddler boy, they’re probably too immature for you!

You may still be able to get away with some silk boxers for special night time activities, just make sure it’s cool enough so they’re not sticking unattractively to your legs and package. Also be careful not to get cheesy with your color selection. Keep it simple if you’re spicing up the fabric. Black is a good choice for silk or satin, year-round.

Pouches Aren’t Just For Kangaroos

Pouches aren’t just for body-builders, either. Regular guys can get away with them and they’re reportedly more comfortable and supportive for guys’ than some other selections. In case you haven’t been looking at this category for a while, you are not restricted to just the g-string type variety of pouch.

There are pouch styles that are appealing on any body type. These include boxer-brief pouches, and different types of bikini pouches. Although, in general, I say stay away from patterns, you can get away with some patterns for special occasions. Especially if you are very secure and have a good sense of humor.

Don’t be afraid to try different color choices with the pouch, either. You’re already showing the ladies that you’re confident just through your choice of the pouch, so it’s okay to look at more than just black (though black is a strong choice if you’re just too uncertain about colors).

Don’t Be Afraid To Change Your Habits

Some believe men are creatures of habit. It can be true that guys want to spend less energy than women in their fashion and appearance choices. It’s not a hard and fast rule, just a generalization.

There are advantages to changing things up, though. Women discover, as early as the preschool years that putting on different outfits can bring out different facets of their personality. It can also change how others view them.

Since guys don’t have as many fashion items to choose from (i.e., no dresses, skirts, high heels, etc.), perhaps there’s a built-in lack of creativity in clothing choices. Or they have the fear that they’ll seem less manly, in some way, if they wear something different than other guys.

So changing up your underwear is a relatively safe way to try out some different fashion choices. The guys don’t have to know and better yet, the ladies will notice. You can even think of it as part of role-playing for bedroom activities!

Or, if you need a strictly practical reason to change things up, remember Mom’s tried and true advice: wear clean underwear. You never know who might end up seeing them! Changing out your drawers seasonally is a good habit to get into and practical to boot!

Summertime is here, and if you live in a state where it’s really HOT or humid, most likely, you’ll be smart enough to wear less clothing when you go outside.  Girlfriends Lingerie resides in Mesa, Arizona, and at this time of the year, it’s well above 100 degrees.  Depending on where you live, you may or may not have a lot of water in your area.  If you are sunbathing around an area with water, you should always becareful and remember that the water reflects the sun on you, which means you’ll tan or burn a lot quicker. 

If you want to wear a sexy bikini that shows a lot of skin, try our itsy bitsy bikini.  It comes in 5 colors and will hug your curves.  Do bikini’s make you feel good about yourself?  In all reality, it’s YOU that matters here, not what others think….unless of course you are purposely wearing our Gauze G-String bikini for the sole purposes of getting a nice tan and getting some attention focused on your body! For all of your anxiety over whether your bikini bottom makes your hips look wide, people at the beach or around the pool are busy socializing, eating, drinking and worrying about their own hips. They’re not thinking about yours.

If you’re self conscious to the point of wanting to cover up, you can use one of our sarongs to do so.  The important thing to remember is that you are wearing a bikini to get what you want, a nice tan in the hot sun, so remember that as long as you are comfortable with what you are wearing, that’s all that matters.  Check out Girlfriends Lingerie for our hot bikini’s and swimsuits!

This summer, people all across the U.S. will be indulging in the latest vacation trend—the staycation! Not familiar with the concept of a “staycation”? Let me educate you.

The staycation is a vacation at home. With gas prices and airfare seeming to increase by the day, and economic prosperity seeming to decrease at a similar rate, staycations are the way to go.

In my younger years, I had no choice but to take staycations when I used my vacation time. My salary didn’t allow for savings and as a singleton, I wasn’t comfortable traveling alone anyway.

Staycations are no longer for the young, single, or financially-challenged. People everywhere are viewing staying-at-home as not only practical, but creative, an investment in their local community, and fiscally responsible.

Themes Aren’t Just For Kids’ Parties

If you were going on a traditional vacation, there’d be a theme. Even if it’s just a geographical theme (the mountains, the beach, a different country), there is an underlying motif that ties everything together.

Since staying at home for your vacation isn’t geographically different than any other day, it’s up to you to choose the theme. The best part? You can change your theme daily or however often you like.

One day can be all about the outdoors—you and your significant other in your hottest swimwear, soaking up the rays, playing in a sprinkler, wading in a pool (even a plastic or inflatable pool will put you in the spirit!) for part of the day. Then, cover up with a cute wrap or sarong for grilling or just for eating outdoors.

Other themes can include a bedroom day (ladies and gents—this is the perfect opportunity to indulge in some new under things!), a day full of rental movies (series of movies or changing between your picks and his picks are a good way to go),

Focus On Yourselves As A Couple

Don’t feel any pressure to entertain others while you’re on your staycation. After all, if this was an away couples’ vacation, you probably wouldn’t be dragging your best friends along with you.

Try to incorporate some things that you would do on any other vacation. Try out a new restaurant or, at least, one you’ve never tried before. Try a new activity. Your spirits and intentions during a regular vacation can be fostered during a staycation with the right attitude.

Make time for real conversation. This is something many couples find being revived when on vacation because they’re away from their usual elements and stressors. Make a concentrated effort to do the same during your staycation. Don’t talk about the honey-do list or the laundry.

A good rule of thumb: if you wouldn’t be doing it on a regular vacation, put it off until your staycation is over, too!

Indulge In What You Can

Typically, new clothing is bought in anticipation of vacation. Okay, maybe this is mostly applicable to us ladies. At any rate, if you’re already cutting out airfare, gas, car rental, hotels, park tickets, and so on… you don’t have to cut out everything.

Why not get a new bathing suit and sarong for your outdoor theme day? Why not buy some cute loungewear for the movie day? Even guys need some new drawers, lounge pants, and maybe some slippers.

You don’t have to eat out every day the way you probably would on vacation elsewhere, but don’t spend all your time in the kitchen, either. Order take-out, delivery, or buy easy and convenient to make foods from the grocery store.

Be A Tourist In Your Own Town

You know all those places you drive by all the time and don’t stop at? We’ll get to it someday, you think. Well, a staycation is the perfect someday occasion.

Local museums, historical sites, parks, and the zoo can be just as exotic and new in your own hometown. If it helps, imagine you’re visiting from another town.

Do all the fun touristy things you’d do elsewhere and be unashamed and unapologetic about it! Take pictures in front of signs and landmarks. Ask others to take pictures of you and your significant other together.

Get souvenirs. This is one of those things you can indulge in, too, since you’re saving money elsewhere. Save little mementos to remind you later of the great times you had during your staycation. Napkins, menus, matchbooks, ticket stubs, and postcards can all be added to any pictures you take to make a nice scrapbook page or memory box of your staycation.

Take Care Of Yourselves

You know how when you come back from vacation, people notice a certain glow about you? It’s not necessarily just from spending time on a beach or poolside. Getting caught up on your sleep helps, as do the other care-taking activities you indulge in.

If you normally make a point of getting your hair done or having a spa day on vacation, there are creative ways to do this that can be very romantic, as well. Treat you and your significant other to some new fluffy robes or silky kimono robes for your at-home spa day.

Stock up on some fun face masks from the local drugstore, some cucumbers to slice up for your eyes and fancy little cucumber finger sandwiches to enjoy with some home-brewed iced tea.

Since you’re home alone, guys may even be willing to undergo some manicure and pedicure procedures. Swear to him you’ll keep it secret, though. And what could be more deliciously romantic than a bubble bath for two with candles and flower petals sprinkled on top?

Creativity And The Right Spirit Are Key

Staycations are only limited by your imagination. As with any vacation, it’s your time to do what you want. If the point is to spend alone time with your significant other, then honor that.

As with most things in life, if your spirit and heart are into it, the fun will follow!
