Getting Started
Alright so this morning I rolled outta bed feeling kinda meh about my love life. Remembered I read an Aries romance horoscope tip online—said wearing red boosts luck. Figured why not test it myself? Grabbed my faded maroon hoodie from the laundry pile. Smelled a bit like old coffee but whatever. Brushed my teeth, splashed water on my face, and mumbled “today’s the day” to the mirror. Felt silly but committed.
The Experiment Setup
First, I needed a baseline. Yesterday wore my usual gray sweatshirt and counted interactions. Got:
- One cashier saying “card or cash?”
- My cat screaming for food
- Zero texts from dating apps
Not exactly winning. Today planned the exact same routine—same coffee shop, same grocery run—but swapped in the red hoodie. Also tried that “visualize romance” thing while waiting for my latte. Pictured someone cute laughing at my jokes. Barista interrupted asking for payment. Focus ruined.
Walking Around Town
Hit the streets feeling like a traffic cone. Noticed small things right away:
- Old lady smiled at me near the bus stop (usually they frown)
- Guy held the door instead of letting it slam in my face
- Got a “cool hoodie” nod from some teen
Weirdest moment? Buying broccoli at GreenMart. Cashier suddenly started talking about how her boyfriend proposed last week. Never spoke before today. Meanwhile my dating app stayed quiet. Mixed signals here.
Winding Down
Evening came and still no Prince Charming sliding into my DMs. Decided to double down—lit a vanilla candle because Google said it “attracts love.” Smelled nice at least. Scrolled apps for 20 minutes. Matched with someone named “Tim_Tom88” who opened with “u want kids??” …Extinguished candle.
Final Thoughts
Look, dunno if red clothes are magic, but people did treat me nicer. Got more smiles and random convos. Zero actual romance though—unless Tim_Tom88 counts (he doesn’t). Maybe the luck’s in small connections, not grand gestures? Anyway, felt like a crash test dummy for cosmic advice. Hoodie’s back in the laundry. Trying stripes tomorrow.
