From Frog to Prince Charming

It might not have been long since Brad kicked me to the curb, but Friday night, the girls convinced me that it was time to dust myself off and start dating again. Of course, like everyone else I know, I turn to the megasite Match.com to find my new knight-in-shining armor.

So Friday night, Kim help me set up my profile, and it was off to the races! I was surprised at how quickly the emails started coming in, but I was intrigued by one of the men who "winked" at me and we started sending the back-and-forth emails and finally agreed to meet for a drink at the Accademia di Vino on 3rd Ave.

Of course this necessitated a call to Kim, because I needed access to the POSH storeroom stat! I needed a date outfit: the clothing that makes you look thin, sexy, and much more confident than you actually are!

As I sat at the bar, my date approached. That photo he sent me over email? Must have been at least 12 years old. And he’s definitely not 47 (more like 77). To make matters worse, as the date progressed, he kept talking about his ex-wife from 20 years ago!

As I’m wracking my brain for an escape plan, my eyes catch someone at the end of the bar. It’s CP, short for Chris Peter, the love of my life, my “Mr. Big”. This Park Avenue derivatives trader and jet-setter was my biggest crush for more than 5 years. It went nowhere, but there he is, heading my way, saving me from the Match date from hell. Thank God I looked hot in my outfit from POSH!

This outfit may have been wasted on my dud-of-a-blind-date, but at least CP seemed to appreciate it! And who wouldn't spend $45 for a dress that boosted my confidence and eliminated those pre-date jitters?
