Today, my boyfriend of two years said he would finally take me somewhere romantic. I spent my day at a Star Wars convention. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I invited my boyfriend to come to an event to meet some of my friends for the first time. I had been raving about him for weeks, and everyone was curious to meet this "amazing guy" I'd been dating. He showed up in a Darth Vader costume because he thought it would be funny to embarrass me. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me to dinner. There was a beautifully decorated table with rose petals and a huge bouquet and he told me he had ordered all this for me. I'd never felt so special. That is, until I had to get up for the couple whose table it actually was. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date, destination unknown. I dressed up, he had a tux on. We went to McDonalds. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, my boyfriend thought it'd be romantic to take me to a strip club for our 1-year anniversary. FML
Today, I was spending time with my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. Trying to be romantic, I told him that I loved him and I was so glad I was with him. He responded by giving me a thumbs-up and turning back to the TV. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date to an expensive restaurant. After the meal, he got down on his knee and proposed. We've only been dating for two weeks, so I said no. He just silently kept staring me in the eyes, no matter what I said or did. I ended up having to walk home. FML
Today, I sat through 9 gruelling hours of Star Wars with my boyfriend. I hate those movies with a passion and frankly would rather get a pap smear from Wolverine than watch them. Afterwards, he dumped me for yawning, saying that I didn’t take a “serious” interest in his favorite things. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I binged Star Wars. Now he keeps talking about how the Empire is superior to the Republic, digging up Reddit threads / YouTube videos / expressing his own political ideas to convince me of this. I just wanted to watch the movies. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me at dinner, which would’ve been nice if we hadn’t been dating for only two months, and dinner was at Subway. FML

The saddest part would be if they actually went to a Star Trek convention and OP didn't know the difference.

Tell him that you've got a hot date planned for the both of you and then take him on an extensive shoe shopping trip with all your girlfriends so he can have the pleasure of listening to hours of girl talk. Just think, he'll make a great bag carrier for everyone. :p

They're really not that bad. Dress up and have fun with it. Ungrateful bitch.

I really don't think that's bad, I mean honestly I believe you should try to share your interests. Or, at least explain that you don't personally see a con as being "romantic", even if he does. Then again my advice is biased as I'm a regular con-goer and was pretty stoked to see a staged Jedi battle at Comic-con New York. >-> But I'm one of them nerdy girls.

Now I really wanna go to Comic Con, and I'm not even big on Star Wars. >_> Thanks for informing me of this epicness. To OP: I think you and your boyfriend have communication issues. He should know your interests and not just ignore them, and you should tell him how you feel. Gosh.
