Need advice.... first date

[Wild Flower]

I need your advice. Im going on my 1st date as a transgender person.... hes taking me out for Japanese restaurant.


What I need advice in... how do I get the courage to buy women clothing. 1st time doing this... 

Hes looking for a crossdresser/transgender (as if they were the same.. .).  I dont expect a serious relationship. I just want to feel like a girl on a date. Im thinking i need to do this... why? Its a risk I need to take.

No one will see me... so i can take the chance.

You could have a look here:

and pick some answers you like... maybe heeding one or two cautious voices but remaining positive...

Concerning clothing, you might look online...
or you might consider second hand stores, clothing is often not even sorted by gender... another advantage is clothing has already been washed before, so its not likely to change sizes after washing like some new clothing does...

and, well, some people just go and buy some clothing

here is a table for sizes:

Hold your head high. Being trans is nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud of being trans - it's difficult and requires brains, toughness, and savvy.

Show them the face of transgender: Competent, intelligent, proud.

Exactly why I am doing this.... I need to be proud (working on accepting)... its odd.. but Im proud Im female inside. Yet... I feel ashamed for being trans... yet its not the cause of my suicidation... but rather pretending is.

Im working on it daily. Little steps. I have a pink toothbrush case and soap case, and my soap bars are feminine smells (like nectarines. Coconut). Even my toothpaste taste good at the moment... nectarine flavour. My skin smells female believe it or not lol. I have the copulin lotion to go with it... but none of this is enough.

I also bought pink pencils.... a bit girly even for me... but they were cheap, and Im working up to this.

I hate to sound like someones gran but he sounds like a ->-bleeped-<-. If he's looking specifically for a 'crossdresser/transgender' then chances are he's looking for sex. Just make sure someone knows where you are going and be careful.

And heres the thing about buying womens clothes.. just go ahead and do it. If you are worried just make out its a gift. If you go into women's clothes stores you'd be surprised how many men there are shopping in there. I saw a guy and his son browsing the lingerie section of John Lewis the other day. Asking each others opinions and everything. I was a bit weird if I'm honest
