I got a girlfriend a few months ago, but it's been hard to meet, so things are moving slow.

Physically we haven't done much, we haven't really seen much of each other naked (we really have just met a couple of times).

I'm not bad at massage, got experience since I took lessons...never given her one, but she has given me a few.. not bad, to be honest. But next time I'm gonna say I have a surprise for her, when she wants to know I will say that I will give it to her later - anticipation anyone? -

Heard this works, but dunno if it will work at this point... It will be some good massage oil. I want to give her a shoulder massage. But that will imply taking off the top.

Not sure how she will take it. Should I still try and if it doesn't work just forget about it? Should I instead go for a shoulder and back massage where she can lie down just in case she's not willing to be on underwear in front of me?

Anyone with this kind of experience?

A good massage works wonders. I used to pull a routine texting her saying I'm sore from a workout and I need a massage, and if she does a good job I'll give her one of my world famous massages. Gives them something to look forward to.
The surprise thing should definitely work, and if you took massage lessons you should be able to escalate pretty easily. It's not that hard to turn a innocent massage into something more sexual. Shoulder massage could work, I'd say go for a back massage if you can though.

Sounds awesome. But if I'm to use massage oil... clothes have to go off. It'd be a little weird to remove her top for this, right?

I never took massage lessons, yet I did some girls massage that they really enjoyed. Indeed she will have to remove her top and bra. I usually go for back massage and I sit on her ass or on her legs. Make it slow and passionate and once your done, chances are she will be ready to return the favor with other kind of massages or etc.

Ahooy!

Start without the oil, and once she starts getting into it tell her it feels better with the oil, and convince her to take her shirt off so you can put it on her.

i always do massages before sex, as an excuse to escale and sleep with them making it less awkward ... do a whole boy massage trigger the upper tigths and butt, then do her...but take your time, at least 15 minute massage...You do not need to take classes to be good at massaging...

totally agree....don't go for the oil yet. keep it simple..

what i'd do is first give her a nice back massage on the bed with clothes on, then let her massage my back (clothes on). ..all looking very harmless so far...as soon as i've enjoyed her massage enough, i'd turn around, give her a naughty/cheeky grin, pull her down to me and get it going. i've done it that way because it feels much more comfortable to me that way..but that's just me.

what i also like to do when giving a massage, is to play hemi-sync "metamusic" (binaural beats) by the monroe institute...i'd recommend the cd: "spirit gathering" (shamanic drumming). if you don't feel like spending money for brain-hemisphere synchronizing metamusic, i'd recommend going to : EMSHOME.ORG (institute of noetic sciences) and download the track: "cosmic continuum" for free.
imagine her getting a massage and having a wonderful out of body experience..she'll never forget that...
the massage with out of body experience by means of using hemi-sync metamusic has already happened..but don't expect too much....some might not react that way, but they'll surely begin to feel very relaxed...

ps:for optimal impact of binaural beatwaves, have at least 50 watt speakers placed on the left and right side of the bed, use lots of bass (extrabass) but keep the volume at a comfortable level; do not use noise reduction..also surround sound systems won't work...

it's late..
but I just remembered now, that I've made a typing error. it should be ESMHOME.ORG

Yeah, skills is right. Touching her in these places lets her know that you're going to give her more than just a massage
