Pokémon and Love: Generation III

Generation III

By Brock - 02/02/2013 21:20 - New Zealand - Auckland

Today, I went on a date with a very cute girl. It went well, until I accidentally called the blueberries in her dessert Oran Berries. I sheepishly explained that they're a berry from the Pokémon universe, at which point she excused herself, never to return. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I went on a date with the world's biggest lightweight. She got blind drunk on wine before dessert, and slurred, "You look like... like a black... blueberry." Amused, I said, "You mean a blackberry?" She stared at me for several long seconds, confused, then passed out. Check please. FML

Secret Weeb

Today, I was on my third date with a really hot girl. A guy walked by singing the Pokémon theme song. She started making fun of the guy, mocking his immaturity. I joined in, in order to keep the conversation going. Everything was going great but then my phone rang. It's the Pokémon theme song. FML

Today, I had to explain to my friend that a blue raspberry is not a blackberry, and that blue raspberry is an artificial flavor, not a fruit. This explanation took much longer than it should have. FML

Today, I went on a date to the zoo. I soon found out that my date had eaten several hash brownies before entering. FML

Dating is hell

Today, I went on a date. Met the guy at the restaurant, everything seemed to be going OK, but then he spent the entire dinner talking about Pokemon GO, and wouldn't let me say a word. He suddenly stops talking, gets up, says he, "doesn't feel a connection" and leaves. I had to pay the bill. FML

Nature is healing

Today, I ended up in the hospital by accidentally eating poisonous berries, from a plant that I've known since childhood to be poisonous, which I also recognized as belonging to the nightshade family. I still don’t understand what made them look tasty. Brain fart of the century, I guess. FML

Pleased to meet you

Today, I went out on a date with a cute girl. Everything was going great, until the food arrived. She not only shoveled food into her mouth like it was going to run away, she also smacked, sucked her fingers and laughed out loud with her mouth completely full. It was like dining with a 5-year-old. FML

Confused?

Today, I was going on a dinner date with a girl I had just met. After I picked her up I asked her if she would like to get lobster. She looked at me and asked if those were the red ones. Confused I nodded. She replied, "Sorry, I don't eat red meat." I laughed. She was serious. FML

If she doesn't respect pokémon she doesn't deserve respect.

You're better off this way. You need someone who can appreciate Pokemon!

I love Pokémon and everything, but if you play enough to make that mistake, then you should take a break from the game.

Never heard of slips of the tongue? Everyone gets them.

I don't blame her. If you're old enough to date, you're too old for a child's game.

I think she overreacted, but that IS strange. I have no issue with Pokemon - I'm a huge nerd myself, for other fandoms, and I wouldn't date someone who didn't at least respect that. But I'm certain someone confusing a blueberry for a fictional berry would weird me out. It suggests you spend WAY too much time playing games for an adult. Or that the lines betwee fantasy and reality are a bit blurred for you. It isn't a slip of the tongue necessarily. It could be indicative of serious manchild syndrome.
