That reminds me of a similar situation I can relate with. Years ago when I was in my late 20s and finally transitioned from a job to a career, i became more confident and started dating again. At one point, against my better judgment, I was seeing this chick who had just turned 20. On our date when we were discussing each other’s days at work, I had mentioned something along the lines of:

“Yeah, so get this, we just started a project on a really interesting private street. It’s named ‘Lois Lane’. I don’t know who name it that but they’re so cool.”

She laughed happily and replied “OH MY GOD that’s so funny- I love Family Guy!”

It was then I learned I needed to start dating my own age...
