RebYidd: “Where does the existent wardrobe come from? And where is the friend or relative supposed to get the jewelry?”
+1! Exactly what I was going to say. Not everyone has an existent wardrobe. And some people have really unmanageable hair. And there are some girls who are not into gashmius and never learned how to do their own hair or cut their nails.
Also, I wasn’t talking about a different outfit for each first date. I was talking about a different outfit for the second and third dates with the same guy. Also, you need an outfit for that first date too, and as RavYidd pointed out, some people don’t have existent wardrobles.
In case you think I’m not serious about any of this, there were long tekufos in my life where I did not date because I didn’t have the money to buy basic makeup and clothes or I didn’t have money for the bus to get to the date. I actually once had to ask the guy for a shekel because I didn’t have enough money for the bus home. That was really embarrassing, but he just thought that I left my money at home – he didn’t realize that I didn’t have any!
