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.

Guess the Force wasn't with you

haha, just remember this: Star Wars is Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, all that jazz. Start Trek is "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" You're golden.

don't worry, if he made such a fuss out of it you're better off without him, he's way much more f***edup than you could be.

Ok, first off SHE says it was only because of that but if she didn't know something that is considered fairly common knowledge then there's a chance that the rest of the conversation wasn't particularly stimulating for him either and second if she's the kind of girl that's going to bitch about it to the world I'm sure her reaction wasn't "oh, could you explain the difference" and that her attitude portrayed more of a 'so what?' kind of vibe, which is kind of insulting. This is probably a bit harsh, it would be nice to hear the other side of things but take my advice, broaden your horizons, open your mind, it'll help not just with dating but with making new friends and generally just getting along with people. And get over it, maybe he WAS a jerk or maybe you were, or maybe both and maybe it wasn't about Star Trek and Star Wars at all or maybe only a small part, maybe the chemistry just wasn't there for him.

I agree with #4. That's almost as bad as the poor guy who told the story of being dumped because the girl he was on a date with was disappointed that he wasn't a vampire. You can find someone better.

**** YOUR LIFE. he should have pretended to like you, taken you home and raped you, then chop you up in little pieces and throw your remains in the nearest river. everybody should know what star trek and star wars are. EVERYBODY!

at least, now you know...i hope! :))

thank god there won't be a second date eeew!!i like geeks and all but damn!they need to like calm down

Wow, you didn't go on a date with my brother-in-law did you?

It's really not that difficult to know the difference... Kinda harsh to break up with someone over it, unless you started gushing about how you 'just loved Mark Hamil in Enterprise'

I made that mistake in music after the teacher asked "What theme song just played?" and I answered while not thinking "Star Trek". But I love how all the fans of those movies said YDI.
