how do i define my style, Mystery Dates, new york dating, new york singles, new york style, what to wear on a date
Match Girl had a delightful moment this morning. As part of the Mystery Date, I hold off on giving anyone details about where or whom they’re meeting until the day of. In the morning, I check in for outfit details, give them to each dater, then later in the day tell them where exactly to meet. When they find each other and alert me, they are emailed the plan for their Mystery Date.
There is nothing I won’t do for my clients, and an outfit assessment ahead of time can be helpful. This particularly witty New York chap was confused when Match Girl emailed him her standard “What are you wearing?” email. My, my!, he thought. What a question! Then it all became clear, and he wrote the following delicious email.
I thought I would share it with you as inspiration on how to approach Mystery Dates, how to have humor about the whole process, and how to define your personal style, all in one. Enjoy this wonderful note!

Subject: Tonight!
I see now why you asked me about clothing. I am so fuckin dumb.
I’ll wear jeans and a black polo. I have a brown/red beard, glasses and brown hair.
Basically I look like this…..
….except the real-life version of that:
less stylish
less pretentious
less Williamsburgy
less cinema studies major
less standing-on-the-corner-trying-to-look-hip
less beardy
less, ahem….slender
