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

By ZombiKilla - 16/08/2016 02:46 - United States - Delta

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!

Why would anyone say YDI? I could care less if someone hated Pokemon, everyone has their tastes, but be based on the grounds to suddenly leave a date is ridiculous. it's not like OP said, "do you like German food? Heil Hitler!"

Im so sick of girls expecting guys to be OMG! MR PERFECT! and then get bitchy if he likes pokemon or annything else. When I (finally) get a boyfried, I will respect for who he is. This is not just beacuse I like pokemon btw.

I like Pokemon as much as the next person-pushing-30-years-old, but I'm with a previous commenter - if you're old enough to date, you're old enough to remember what a blueberry is. If I were to go out for Chinese, I would expect the person I was with to lower their opinion of me if I managed to accidentally refer to chopsticks as 'knitting needles'; Pokemon shouldn't be any different.

Firefly is my reference point, not that the girl has to be a fan necessarily but that they at least accept my nerdness/fandom over the series... but I get you. It ain't a FYL or a YDI, you just went on a date with a girl who didn't like who you were. You dodged a bullet and she gets to go be herself with someone else who doesn't like pokemon. Essentially a win-win.
