This is the one with the downside of gay dating.
Posted January 24th, 2008 by Mike Lawson
There are a lot of perks to gay dating. I know that better than anyone. But there is also a quandary that gay men and women face on a regular basis when they are dating: wardrobe duplication.
I was reminded of this dilemma when I showed up for a date with the wonderful Mr. D this past Tuesday. He was wearing his new, and incredibly sexy glasses that look a little (not too much) like my own.
(Isn’t he cute?)
And I guess this is a problem that straight couples can face, but I think that wardrobe duplication is seen much more in homosexual couples since the styles and trends that influence fashion choices are identical.
I’ve showed up for a date before and was wearing an almost identical shirt as my date. I’ve also had a date come to my house and when we realized that our clothing was too similar I changed quickly.
I’m sure that other homosexuals have some horror stories about repression, homophobia, and online dating. If wardrobe duplication is at the top of my dating woes, I guess I’m a lucky guy (with matching glasses).

He is cute! And with regards to wardrobe dupliation… that was never an issue for me and Mikeh. Haha. I am jealous you can potentially share clothes though!

It’s not just clothes or glasses, it’s names! I know a couple who have been together many years both named John. They recently wed (unioned? – whatever) and they took a new last name so they now have the exact same name.
PS – Mr. D is adorable… and I think I have his sweater (Old Navy?)

I do have an extensive shoe collection… Lucky that we have the same shoe size.

Jeff: I can see that being a problem…but believe it or not, I’ve never dated another guy named Mike. In high school, however, I did have an uber-crush on an unobtainable guy named Mike. And yes, I’m pretty sure its an Old Navy sweater.
Daniel: Of course I made sure we were the same size before I let anything get serious.

What?! You guys share the same shoe size as well?? This is so unfair

Yeah, that can create quite a problem, but I’m sure you can get over it easily. It’s not too bad nor too awkward a situation usually I believe.
Why is it all the cute ones are gay?!
