Looking for love in Alderaan places

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.

Guess the Force wasn't with you

dude, how could you not know? I wouldn't date you either.

I'm sorry, but you gotta know some basic classic movies, ESPECIALLY the difference between star wars and star trek. You don't have to get all nerdy and know everything about every one, but at least know one is about jar jar binks being annoying with R2D2, and one is about long speeches and warp speed and star trek stuff.

YDI! What kind of respectable female doesn't know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek? You wouldn't have been happy with him anyway.

You don't need to be a hardcore geek to know this one... it's pretty simple. Maybe he won't date you because you've been living under a rock for most of your life, it seems.

YDI! Star Trek > Star Wars. The end.

Why is everyone yelling at her for not knowing the difference? It's not a matter of life and death, maybe she just doesn't care about scifi. Of course, in that case it wouldn't have worked out anyway so... :)

Okay first, how can you not know the difference?!!? and second, if that's the reason he won't go out with you then that's incredibly shallow and you're better off.

Ha, do you not own Tv, or a book .. can you even read lmao how can you NOT know..

@20: It doesn't really take a geek to bring it up on the first date considering that the new Star Trek movie just came out. Seems like a pretty natural thing to talk about new releases to me. OP: I would've done the same thing. I'm not a die hard fan or anything, but it shows a little ignorance of modern times that you don't know. Like not knowing when the difference between the Korean and Vietnam wars.

Mascara's that stuff you put on your lips right? No? What's the difference?
