FINALLY GETTING IT I was trying to figure out what to wear to a date. I thought I wanted to wear these very sexy stilettos I have but then I remembered I can't walk very far in them. I decided that was ok, after all, I was going out with a guy and he would open the doors for me and walk beside me. And hell, if I wasn't going to be taking it easy, I could probably even wear those lacy elastic underwear that are so uncomfortable (even though chances were one in a million he would get a chance to appreciate this).
While this may sound rather obvious to most people but this was a whole new concept for me. My mother used to yell at me telling me I needed to insist on the guy opening doors for me. If he didn't open the car door for me I needed to sit there and wait for him to get the message. I thought my mom was insane. After all, I can open a door just fine, why bother him if he's no where near the door. And wearing clothes that are not pedestrian is just plain silly. After all, men don't wear heels and pantyhose, why should I? However, I'm getting older and am beginning to like being coddled a bit and quite honestly, I'm tired of being told I don't make a man feel needed. Well, if it makes him feel needed I can wear silly clothes that make it difficult for me to open heavy doors.
