Dating a Star Wars fan

Warning: Requires a certain quantity of familiarity with the Star Wars 4, 5 & 6. If it’s just entirely perplexing – I hope you’ll see my point and empathize.


  • Dinner dates often include McDonald’s happy meals in order to collect the Star Wars figurines.
  • When you ask him to pass the salt, he closes his eyes, breathes deeply, and tries to 'force pull' it across the table.
  • Don’t order food that’s too spicy. There might be a great disturbance in the Force.
  • Watching the sunset is often accompanied by him humming the Imperial March.
  • Every casual conversation has comparisons drawn to Star Wars.
  • ROTJ, ROTS are commonly used abbreviations. Educate yourself.
  • You are often referred to as Commander and Master and are always complimented as “Impressive. Very Impressive”
  • He takes you watch the trilogies and the spin-offs and nit-picks more than George Lucas ever could.
  • He opens automatic doors for you by waving his hand and claims to use the force. Well, at least chivalry isn’t dead.
  • Planning long trips often have references to ‘a galaxy far, far away...’
  • Let him know if you’re having an asthma attack. He might think you’re being Darth Vader.
  • Every magazine you own is rolled up and used as a light saber.
  • He ends every date with “May the Force be with you.” And yeah - Don’t underestimate the Force!
  • When you say “I love you”, he replies “I know”. (Harrison Ford has ruined this for me!!)
  • If you don’t know the POWER of the dark side – Pretend.

Uahahahaaa... ROTFL... I'm a big Star Wars fan myself, but I don't do such things because my friends and roommates are not as tolerant as you :). I even had to explain to one the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek. Sigh. Some people don't even know chalk from cheese, what has the world come to...

I should have more friends like this guy. Life would be more interesting!
