The stated requirement is: "I'd like to get the number of times I tried". Given such: why bother with returning any of the pairs of values?
Indeed, if that's the requirement, then you can do even better, noting that the probability of getting a matched pair is 1/6 (6 matches out of 6*6 possibilities). So the answer to the problem is exactly the same as rolling a single die until you get any particular number (e.g., 1).
This is somewhat easier to simulate than the two-dice problem (and the number of throws until a match is also a known, analytic distribution that you could sample from, but this is probably easier).
