Last night I had a phone conversation with a married friend about tonight’s date with SpeedDating Guy. (Please note: SpeedDating Guy #1 is now known simply as SpeedDating Guy because SpeedDating Guy #2, now known as Loser Guy, never called. Yes, I know I could call him, but I’m not sure if I want to.) Anyway, I told my friend I was on my home from the usual first date shopping spree at which point she started to laugh. At me. You buy a new outfit for each first date she asked? Sadly, I realized the answer to that question was usually yes. In fact, much of my wardrobe is composed of first date pieces. Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this.

In case you’re wondering, I bought a really cute plum colored top from the Gap and black pants from Express. The new pants however, will not be worn tonight. I’m wearing jeans instead.

—On a somewhat related note, while at SpeedDating, I exchanged email and phone info with two other girls. We got in touch, and yesterday I found out that one of the girls matched with Loser Guy. No, Loser Guy did not call her. The other girl matched with the same two guys I matched with. No, Loser Guy did not call her either. Yes, Rock Star SpeedDating Guy did call her. I don’t know if they set a date or anything, but I feel slightly weird knowing that they matched. And no, I didn’t share my Google findings with her.—And on another related note, in case my date with SpeedDating Guy totally sucks tonight, Jay pointed out the Escape-A-Date feature now offered by Cinguar. Hopefully I won’t be needing it.
