xdahliax Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I have a party coming up and would like to dress to impress a potential love interest. I'm constantly told that I'm sexy by coworkers and friends, but I was wondering if guys actually prefer sexy or if they prefer cute. I have two outfits in mind; one is a blue dress with a tight bodice and a slightly puffy bottom while the other is a simple black dress that fits close to the body. Both are about the same length (above the knee). Never thought I'd put this much thought into an outfit for a guy but anyway:o...what do you all think?
lovesick1 Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 What type of guy does he strike you as? Personally, I would easily go for the black dress, cute/sweet lures me in much faster than hot/sexy. Also, what are your goals? Are you trying to sleep with this guy or start a relationship? Yes its important what you wear it sends signals for what you are after. Figure that out and you'll know

Yes its important what you wear it sends signals for what you are after. Figure that out and you'll know The black dress is much sexier than the blue one. The blue one is sort of like what you would see on a doll, except more grown up. I would like to start a relationship. He is a very kind, thoughtful person, a goofball but also very pensive and complex. I don't think he'd go for a one night stand, with anyone. He also knows me pretty well, so he's seen both sides of me but I'm afraid of being friendzoned.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Can't lose with a sexy black dress. Whats she said... If it fit's with your personality, then wear it.
suladas Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Can't lose with a sexy black dress. Ya i'd agree. You could always post pics
veggirl Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 The style of the black dress but in red or some other color would be my choice. Failing that, just wear the black dress, sounds much better than a baby doll style dress!!! Ack. Baby doll style creeps me the eff out.

He also knows me pretty well, so he's seen both sides of me but I'm afraid of being friendzoned. Ah, then I misinterpreted which dress was for what purpose. Agreed with above, black dresses are always a good choice, doesn't send too strong or too weak of signals. The other one you described doesn't appeal. Show him you're interested, work on striking up a good conversation (try not to get too drunk and let things get out of hand ), and he should make his move and ask you out. I wouldn't worry too much about being friendzoned, this does not seem to occur as much in the male population.
ariannasins Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Personally, I would dress cute over sexy anytime. This makes a guy want to get to know you more instead of looking at you in a sexual way. Unless you want to sleep with him that is... Are you looking for a relationship or perhaps a FWB?

Unless you want to sleep with him that is... Are you looking for a relationship or perhaps a FWB? as a man I disagree, cute will generate one reaction, sexy another, slutty yet another. What women need to avoid is slutty, that's what get's them in trouble. 2
Ale khun Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 You can't go bad with black !!! But blue is always different so maybe you want to be the exception in the party so do your hair ,nice makeup great shoes and go for it !!! Good luck
Ninjainpajamas Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I'm just going to go with what sounds nicer here...the black dress sounds like a better choice. Then again I don't know what a bodice is, and I'm not much of a puffy kinda guy. If the dress is too sexy, a man isn't exactly going to be thinking "relationship" when he sees you, he's going to be thinking "sex".
Author xdahliax Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 Here are dresses that are similar to clear up any confusion: Sexier dress (black): ASOS | ASOS Bodycon Dress With Lace Inserts at ASOS Cuter dress (blue, bottom is a bit puffier than this): http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wiqW9OO-uyQ/T8TMCMoFBcI/AAAAAAAAClk/krkIXw81i9Y/s1600/tea+spot+dress.jpg
Ninjainpajamas Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I don't know what I did, I typed something in google before you posted something and this is what came up..so It's obviously a sign, and will sweep him off his feet. Say YES to this dress I'd go with the watery brownish one. 2
edgygirl Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 black one with polka dots definitely. the other one is too "sexy" for a first date. looks like you want to get laid.
veggirl Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Well of the ones you posted, I like the black polka dot one best, and I think that is what you are saying would be the blue one? lol this is too confusing. Take pics of the actual dresses!!!
FitChick Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 I like the red with the lace. That style in black would be good. Classic. You are covered up but sexy at the same time. I also like the polka dot because it has a vintage feel. Is yours sleeveless and polka dot? By "puffy" do you just mean it has a fuller skirt? Post photos of you wearing both but crop your head out.
Author xdahliax Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 Veggigirl, yes the polka dot one would be the blue one FitChick, the polka dot one is sleeveless and it does have a fuller skirt. I'd take pictures but it's getting a bit late and my party is tomorrow, so this advice will have to do. Thanks all I think I will go with the black one.
veggirl Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 You won't go wrong with either one. Your initial descriptions were confusing, both the pics are really nice styles of dresses and I'd wear either one and feel great!!!
