aw, c'mon! lingerie? when has a bloke ever been able to buy lingerie and it ever work out right?

if you are going to head down the lingerie route here's a couple tips learnt the hard way;
- don't buy crotchless - just not a good idea
- always go for a small size - better her take it back than think you reckon her ar*e is huge

If it's a big birthday then a pressie is probably needed. If it's just an in between birthday, then I think you have been more than generous.

yeah, you see, I think buying lingerie is jsut too full of pitfalls... unless it's a nice nightie.

I'd also, personally, welcome a larger size than a smaller one. I think you can squirm out of buying too big easier than too small... imagine her trying on undies that are too small and then cue a huge "I'm too big for this!", "I'm too fat!" [burst into tears] "I used to be this size!" etc... Whereas if she tries it on and it's too big, there'll be disapointment but still a vague edge of flattery, knowing that she's smaller... or it'll just be really comfy!

Oh dear. That all sounds terribly complicated and fraught with problems. Maybe my idea wasn't so good after all. I just imagined it would go like this:

1. Man asks lady what size she is
2. Man goes into shop & buys something nice in that size
3. Lady is happy.

Surely blokes don't go in there and buy stuff for their wives and girlfriends do they?

I reckon I'd turn red and run away...

not that easy...same size, same make but different style don't always fit...and men seem to have slightly different taste to women when it comes to underwear...well, some men do...

sh*t kitty... yes, forgot how quickly it is to suddenly walk into a mine field when dealing with your better-half's body issues...
