Some chick wants me to go bra shopping with her. good or bad? (im straight)

First thing, take a good look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you're the kind of guy who will let himself get invited to go shopping for underwear with a female friend and spend the entire time acting like it's not a big deal and refusing to share the risqué comments running through your obscene little mind.

If you are, you're in the friend zone, but you walked most of the way yourself. If she has ended up thinking you're gay, that's pretty much on you as well.

Try saying what you're thinking. Either it'll save you from the friend zone or it'll save you a torturous afternoon sitting outside a dressing room while a woman you fancy tries on lingerie you'll never get to see.
 
im a little confused why she would ask a straight guy to go bra shopping. if you were gay, i would understand that. but even if you were a good friend, its still an odd thing to ask a straight guy who would potentially be turned on by it.

Ask her to go condom shopping with you.

Stop off on the way to the bra store to buy them. Get the extra-large ones. Tell her you are going to sneak into the fitting room and help. She will have to respond in some way when the ball is in her court.

Probably a kick to the nuts.:p
 
I've been asked this before twice by friends, does it mean you are in the friendzone...mostly yes but there are some exeptions

The two people that asked me were attracted to me as it turned out. One happened to get along with/trust boys more than she did girls i.e. tomboy. The other...well...she had big boobs and had no bones about using them as a flirting tool. So either she's a tomboy or she's making it obvious she's into you

Conventionally however i'll tell you that if a girl is attracted to you she would most likely NOT ask you to go underwear shopping with her because she would care too much about any impression she might be making on you and would be slightly insecure in general. If she does ask you then its most likely because she considers you a close 'girlfriend'...you pose no threat sexually.

If i were you i'd go but make sure to make lewd remarks, sexual innuendos & jokes like any normal red blooded man would i.e. be flirty & comical. If she's laughing and reciprocating then game on. If she just looks at you funny and seems uncomfortable then....

GO GO GO! Do you like her OP? If so, bang her. If not, just check out the boobs.

Giggity.

I'm hoping, really hoping you're about 13 years old and the last "boob" you ever were able to check out was your mom's.

OP..go bra shopping. If you have skills, turn it into thong shopping after. ;)
 
I agree with sushi, either it becomes something more (awesome) or it becomes friends with benefits (Sweeeet) or you just become a good friend she's comfortable around :)

Side note, I feel the need to tell this story. . . I went bra shopping with two of my friends, I'm 24, they're 22 and 25, however they're 5'01 and 5'02 and both weigh around 90 pounds soaking wet. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE gotten so many dirty looks from strangers, I felt like I should be walking around with a sign saying "No, as a matter of fact I'm not a pedophile dammit!" :eek:
 
Jesus, run don't walk.

Best case scenario: Sex from the chick.

(Even better best case scenario: Sex from the chick at the mall, at a dressing room.

Worst case scenario: You learn about women's fashion, what they like and don't like, how to compliment them and how to lie about it when it doesn't look good. Use that knowledge for sex with other girls throughout life and to save headache arguments from the missus once you're married.

p.s. to the OP, remember those shops can be very brightly lit. I strongly recommend a good pair of shades.

Why not go the whole hog and claim to be a lifeblogger with an irrational fear of falling nuts? ;)

So are you going to Helga's Bra Hut or Victoria's Secret?

Just tell her if she can create a pup tent in your pants you like the bra. Leaves all the guess work out of it for her :eek: :p
 
What size are them puppies. I'm guessing they're substantial as I think she's being a bit flirty and proud of them :D

Why bother with all that learning of the womenly ways learn the basics for sure to keep out of big trouble--after marriage sometimes a tiny mistake on a mans part can lead to some awesome grudge sex.
 
Make a deal with her. Tell her you'll pay for the bra and you'll put it on for her.

Please note though: The only thing I'm interested in is things from the Weekly World News - 'Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured'. That kind of thing, you know.
 
Yes, of course you go. Its not like every guy gets an invitation like this. At a minimum you will have a story to tell years and years later.

I don't get why being in the "friend zone" is bad thing. Just celebrated 14 years of marriage to a women who has been my friend since 1970. You do the math. We stayed in touch, as friends, over the years as we grew up.

I had a knack of being in the "friend zone" during high school and university - it sucked at times then, but boy do you learn a lot. And, you have good friends. If you want an eye-opener - spend time at a corner coffee shop with a gay women and check out the women walking by. You will learn things that will help you for a long time.

When you go, and I don't see why you wouldn't, use this as an opportunity to find out how bra clasps work. Trust me, knowing how those things work before you are trying to undo one, in the dark, with one hand, without looking, while being distracted, is a good thing.

Very gently, and while you two are still in a safe neutral zone, ask her if she would show you the clasps. Don't ask when/if she is showing you the bra - she is feeling vulnerable, likely. If she is willing to show you the clasps then, even if its obvious how it works, act stupid and ask how the thing undoes. If nothing else you get to practice unclasping a couple of bras - in a store. Even if nothing else happens I don't see how that is bad thing. Be cool about it. :cool: If you're lucky, it'll be a front-loader.

I can't believe I'm actually writing all this. Consider it a learning experience. You may not get any immediate gain, but the experience will be useful later. Seriously, if nothing else is happening, ask her to teach you about bras. Your mind may start glaze over, but you will understand women better for it. If she tells her friends (she probably will) you may come in for some teasing. Its from the girls, at least they're noticing you. If its from the guys, just ask them how many bras they've seen lately.

I was always the "couch moving" friend. Good Luck. Eat your veggies (or somebody else's) first. Stay away from trout that day. Shower first, you want to smell good.
