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.

hm. i went out with a girl the night before this post and did kinda lose intrest in her because of that. i should forward this link to her and ask if she posted this, lmao. if it was her, i'll say this much: she's been over my house, she's seen that i collect sci-fi stuff, and that i don't hide being a nerd (despite popular belief, it's not that hard for a nerd to get a date). she asked me to come watch the new star trek with her, so i did, and right as the movie started, she asks if this is the one with harrison ford, the big furry thing and darth vader. i gave her a weird look, laughed for a while, and told her that was the dumbest thing i've been asked. despite that, i still watched the movie with her, but i wasn't interested in her for other reasons. but really, if she didn't know what she was going to watch, she could have told me beforehand, i would have gladly primered her on both series. i'm gonna have to get this cleared up with her :p

It's not your fault that you're totally unfamiliar with two media icons that had a profound effect on our culture.

YDI. How big is that rock you live under?

YDI, stop going out with "a cute guy" you obviously don't know.

Like, seriously? Ive watched neither of them, and I still no the difference! Thats kinda bad...

I'm not quite sure how this is possible, I mean it's not like he asked you how many jigga watz a star destroyer's laser cannon has or what warp factor you need to be going to travel through time. But seriously how the hell can you not distinguish between distinct 2 franchises that have been part of american culture for the last 30 years? I am assuming you're american, although even if you aren't many people who are not american who don't live in third world countries can distinguish the difference.

Well i myself know the difference Boo-hoo for him obviously if you were a nice person it shouldnt matter if you know the difference between them, he probably missed out on a great relationship
