Looking for love in Alderaan places

By not4geeks - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I went out on a first date with a cute guy. Turns out we won't be going on a date again because I didn't know the difference between "Star Wars" and "Star Trek." FML

How do you not know the difference? YDI. I'm a girl, and I'd dump you for that. It's proof positive that your interests clash.

OP, #89, and anyone else this clueless needs to go kill themselves, YDI I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Knowing the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek is obligatory knowledge. And thank you #133.

#89!! HAHAHAHAHA!! Okay, if I ever go out with someone like that, I'll tell them that they have that r2....wait, isn't it r2d2???

How do you not know the difference? Star Wars - Jedi, Sith, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Millennium Falcon Star Trek - Klingon, Borg, Jean-Luc Picard, Spock, U.S.S. Enterprise

I'd call that a valid reason to dump someone.

Just be glad you wont go on another date with him. lol.

High five #3! ps. where has the submitter been living, under a rock?

So ? Maybe scifi is a big part of his life. All my friends and I ever talk about is Doctor Who. [We occasionally take a break to talk about Batman, Star Wars or video games. :P] In that case, you wouldn't have had anything in common, and YOU probably would've dumped HIM for being nerdy. Personally, I don't like wasting my time. I know what I want in a man, and if we don't have anything in common I won't pursue the relationship. Not knowing the difference between something as culturally relevant as Star Trek and Star Wars sends out a HUGE red flag for me. Sorry, hun.

It's been like thirty years. Goddamn, that's like not knowing that Superman is Clark Kent.
