"What?!" I exclaimed. "You two scream 'in common.' You're both into music, like to be quirky hip, and stand just a bit ahead of the average."
"Tcha," Cate guffawed. "You saw him for, like, 2 minutes. How do you know?"
"Didn't you see the earring?" I asked incredulously. "And the belt?"
"What earring and belt?" Cate was slightly annoyed with me by this point.
"The earring and belt that said 'I like Green Day and secretly hope to become a famous music producer if my garage band fails'. That earring and belt!"
No. She had not seen him. She had missed the subtle hint that determined Mr. Canoodle to be her dream noodle.
I have often wondered how a woman as intelligent, resourceful, beautiful, and inspired as my dear Cate could possibly not have a fan club. Today, I discovered it. Somewhere, there are realms of men giving off subtle fashion clues that Cate is missing.
Men's clothing says everything about the man. From the flat black earring that proclaims trendy garage band to the hoop that suggests questionable sexuality, earrings are the first clue. That's followed by shoes, belts and wrist wear. Finally, it's the jeans that say it all.
Guys like to pretend they're not into fashion, and it's true that they don't have the "one look fits all" mentality we women pursue, but men choose looks by what it says about their interests. Read the look. Read the guy. Don't believe me? Get thee to the local mall. Watch the clothes and you can predict the stores he'll enter. Trust me on this one.
Oh, Cate, you and Hot Noodle Guy would be a totally rockin' couple. Your clothes totally told me so.

It's true. I say I don't care how I'm dressed, but my same-pants-every-day and 3-shirt rotation is totally crafted.
"Cate was slightly annoyed with me by this point."
I'd guess she was "slightly annoyed" a couple of days ago, when you first told the internet about her noodle guy.
I'd guess "slightly annoyed" is either a complete fabrication or an understatement of galactic proportions.
*performs stirring-of-pot pantomime*
All right. Am about to G.Lo post.
Be prepared for toned-down version in about 2 minutes.
In DC, we have a blue-stripped-shirt syndrome. Might as well drink light beer, shop at Giant and buy your books are Borders.
Cate, I totally think you should be Canoodling.
Mr. Canoodle to be her dream noodle... that quote will go down in the books.
