[QUOTE=featherlou] Do you have any second date plans yet? Has he called? We’re all living vicariously through you and the rest of the Doper Singles, you know. 🙂 [/QUOTE] Well, he messaged me back, but he was pretty luke warm. I guess we’ll see. Oh well, I still had fun. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=bouv] And that wrap dress? Forgive me, but ugh! I’m far from being anything remotely fashionable, but it looks like some kind of retro 70’s thing. Blech. [/QUOTE] Good. 'cause if it wasn’t labeled “dress” I would have thought it was a bathrobe for a modest yet Carol Brady type. Are these wrap dress things common? I’ve never seen anything like that in a store before (at least not outside of the night clothes section, anyway!) and I’ve done an inordinent amount of clothes shopping lately. 😕 ---

Diane von Furstenberg is the queen of the wrap dress (see website [here](http://www.dvf.com/store/template.do?page=1&componentId=126)). I’m surprised at the hate - wrap dresses do amazing things for the female form. I have a couple and I get TONNES of boy attention when I’m wearing them. They’re super figure flattering - they flatter curves, and make boyish figures look very feminine. ---

Yep, us guys like wrap-around dresses. Very feminine, flirtatious and flattering to the female form. ---

[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland] Then as I was sitting in my car I wondered if I’d been Mirandaed - you know “He’s just not that into you.” But, we’ll see. [/QUOTE] This took me a few reads to figure out, because I read it as _Mirandized_, as in: “You have the right to remain silent . . . .” (I assume it is some Sex and the City thing, right). ---

[/QUOTE] As a dude that is totally into anything that does “amazing things for the female form” I’m all for wrap dresses. They have this whole indicating-sexyness-without-revealing-too-much that’s sort of like a birthday present that’s heavy and rattles. It might be a wood router, it might be Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, it might be a pair of stainless steel .40S&W Sig P229s, but whatever is inside is going to be awesome. Just sayin’. We likes the wrap dresses. Stranger ---

Exactly! The wrap dress is like a big girl-present. I have one that’s totally modest - just below the knee, not too much boobage, but it’s silk jersey - on flick of the wrist on the sash and I’m totally naked. It’s all good… ---
