ExploreIt happened. You’re not exactly sure how, but suddenly you find yourself in a relationship. Thought it would never happen to you, right? You doubted there was somebody out there who “got” you. But surprise! You’re a couple. You certainly aren’t like those annoying “schmoopy” couples that get all gushy, especially on Valentine’s Day. You two are different… unusual… and perhaps strange…
First off, you get each other’s geek references. You finish each other’s lines from your favorite movies. And when you say “I choose you” you’re thinking more of Pokemon than a Hallmark card. They are the Chewbacca to your Han Solo, the Daryl to your Carol (because they should be a couple, damn it!), the rice to your sushi, the shark to your tornado.
More importantly, this person hates the same things you hate. That pop song that’s being played everywhere, that movie everybody else seems to love and that TV series you watch just to make fun of. And I’m sure you while away the hours discussing the people who get on your nerves.
You don’t sit and dream about what it’ll be like to be married with kids, you think about what it will be like during the zombie apocalypse or alien invasion. And other couples can give each other flowers and candy, you’d rather give each other cool t-shirts from DesignByHümans.
If you made it all the way through this and are NOT in a relationship, or recently dumped or been dumped, we feel your pain. You will survive with your cat, a pizza, a box of doughnuts and alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol.
