10 Things Star Wars Taught Us About Dating
by Chiara Atik on July 03, 2012
1. Check your lineage. Make sure you’re not siblings.
2. When it comes to going in for the kiss: it’s do or do not, there is no try.
3. If your girlfriend says “I love you,” and you simply respond with a smug “I know,” then you honestly deserve to be frozen in carbonite.
4. Annoying nicknames, like “Princess” and “Little Champy,” are a completely viable and effective way to flirt.
5. Have a bad feeling about this (date/relationship/drunken inclination to hook up with someone)? Then it’s probably not a good idea.
6. Be like Han Solo: promise her you won’t shoot first. (Get it?!)
7. How you can tell a first date is going well: “Wonderful girl. Either I’m going to kill you or I’m beginning to like you.”
8. Always choose a good wingman to help you steer clear of danger, avoid getting shot down, and generally make sure you’re striking back, not out.
9. No one, not even a princess, is out of your league if you’re cocky enough.
10. You can tell whether a person is within your dating age range based on whether or not they like ewoks.
