I just smell like Acqua di Gio naturally and don't need to wear cologne. Does that mean she'd rule me out? lol

I dunno - can she smell you coming before you get out of the car?

Not if I've just had a shower and washed away most of my natural fragrance.

Nobody has suggested that this could simply be a "test" to see how the OP will react. So I will. Will he get all introspective about himself? Will he get defensive? Will he start making value judgments about the match? Or is he confident enough in himself to just blow it off?

You folks that read the dating books surely must have come across something like this.

And as always, until you meet in person, you really don't know anything at all.

edited: And now that I re-read the OP, I see that this was a response to a 2nd Question that the OP asked. What was the question?

This is part of an answer to one of my Second Questions and no it is not taken out of context:

"I like a man who wears cologne....that is important to me."

Is this not the epitome of shallowness or am I missing something here?

This brings up another question which I have no experience with. I will assume that if it is important to her that the guy is wearing cologne then she probably considers it equally important that she wear perfume. So my question to the ladies would be if you are wearing perfume can you tell (smell) if the guy is wearing cologne unless his cologne is even more powerful than your perfume?
Yes. I can smell him when wearing perfume. A good perfume should be undetectable to me (wearing it) and others can smell it.

I generally associate men who take the time to pick a good quality cologne and wear the right amount as being men who are logical and confident.

Smell is a very important part of memory. There is a certain scent of pine trees (where I grew up as a child) which regardless of where I am, immediately brings back memories of Christmas morning.

I don't think you are over-analysing anything - the 'important to me' part, if I had a match say that about perfume, I would be wondering why it is important she wear perfume. Just ask her.
