Sort of had lunch with this pretty lady last Friday (I ate, she wasn't hungry)... holy fuck. So, she's pretty, has some common interests, and whatever... but damn she was not funny. We managed to talk for about 1-2 hours but I don't know if I laughed more than just one or two times.

I cannot stand people who are not funny. If I cannot consistently be one-upped in a conversation on the funny then I feel like you should diaf. I want conversation to be a game of who can make the stuff funny as possible. That girl made it just boring. I think we ended up talking about if we could only have one super power what would it be... I said, "Whatever Dr. Manhattan has" and she said that wasn't a valid one because it's like automatic god mode. (The reason I chose it!) And I remember thinking while talking to her, "This girl is not funny. Such a tragedy..."

So if I ever have friends (and sometimes I do fleetingly) then they're pretty funny people... and generally I am funny as well.

If you don't have friends, how do you know you're funny? The girl was probably bored and you had nothing but stupid things to talk about, probably one reason why you have no friends.

First off, how do you lunch where only one party eats. Almost seems like it was a pity gathering on her part.

Second, you referenced Watchmen and she understood and responded? Sounds like a pretty interesting girl. Guess you just have a way with women, you really know how to make them dull and uninterested.

Girls are rarely funny while they are tied up and you are trying to force feed them.

Neckbeard made a joke. HAH!

I told her I was going to get lunch and she asked if she could come along. She later told me she wasn't hungry because she was sick. So I decided to eat because I hadn't ate yet that day.

Fuck, at least she tried with the "god mode" comment on a rather geeky topic. Picky much? Doubtful you're as funny as you think you are.

She was probably just bored and wanted to get the hell out of there but she was being polite.

Either that or she was your Mom.
 
I have been told that I am funny and I like interjecting humor into most conversations.

I love my wife and we are perfect for each other, but I am not sure that my wife has ever told a joke or purposely said anything funny, but, then again, I have only known her since 1987.

You can pinpoint the moment where she realized what she had done.

That was me being a geek for all of you, what she said was actually a lot more boring. She said he controlled matter and that was too good. She couldn't summarize what the powers he actually had (Him existing in multiple times, fundamental control of matter, not relying on a physical body but instead some sort of omnipresence, et cetera), but she said that he didn't count. And she never read the 'graphic novel', but instead only saw the movie. So her understanding of him and that universe was not very far.

She's not that interesting.

Prior to a potential date that meets within physical specifications, I always ask the following questions.

#1. Do you have the herp (hopefully no, but followed by a detailed surace exam to confirm honesty)
#2. Summarize the lotr trilogy as if i were unaware tolkien existed
#3. Do you smoke cigarettes ( must be yes)
#4. Are you high maintenance.
#5. Can you split the dinner bill or cover the tip?
#6. What medications do you take?
#7. what is inside your purse? ( if embarrased, threaten to snatch purse and dump all over dinner table and yell each item loudly during the inventory check)
#8 last but not least, can you make me laugh ?

/sarcasm. 😛

Bottom line, best dates ive ever had is when you feel the connection from the get go. If you dont feel it, you cant force it and probably never will
