Today, I brought a fluorescent tube to the store to make sure I got the correct replacement. Trying to charm the sexy cashier, I waved the tube in the air, saying "I need a new light sabre, there is no force left in this one and the Empire is attacking." Turns out she'd never heard of Star Wars. FML

OP here. I did not try to pick her up - I am a 42 year old married father of three and even if I wanted a date I have enough knowledge of the world to know that hot twentysomething blondes prefer hot twentysomething hunks - but I did try to make her smile, and failed miserably. And my geek level is so low that I read paper papers and constantly need my twelve year old son to help with my Iphone. (Plus I`ve never seen the sequels) I realize the girl probably lacked humour more than Star Wars knowledge, but what the heck. My wife laughed her ass off when I told her, though, bless her.

Yeah because making star wars references tend to help with the ladies...

When in doubt, go with Star Wars to wow the women

You're an idiot to think a girl will find it attractive to quote Star Wars. Get a life!

Why generalize? I love Star Wars and I'm a woman..

Because the general female wont think that quoting Star Wars is attractive. The average female will probably blow him off as a nerd.

Well, it's obviously true that not every woman finds the liking of Star Wars or anything of the like attractive, but I feel it's unfair to say that OP is an idiot and tell him to "get a life" because he had hoped that the girl had at least heard of it. I mean, he seems to enjoy himself and actually tries to have fun with something he actually likes. That's just my opinion anyways. :/

Dude, bad form. Even if your pickup attempt was less terrible, leave the poor cashier alone. She is trying to work.

It's not worth it if she doesn't like star wars. DUH!

Simple solution, tie her to a chair and force her to watch all six, and when the seventh comes out ask her out on a date to watch it.
