Dating a non-trekkie

[bentbastard]

As strange as it sounds I decided to take the plunge. Yes, dating a non-trekkie. He's never watched an episode or a movie. he doesnt even know what a Klingon is. Heathen! I hear you cry. Well yes, but he is hot.


I cant seem to navigate this new design and find a *post* option so I'll just ask.

Where should I start? What Series, episode or movie should I show him first? Note I dont watch TOS (while I have them on DVD, I cant watch them, so its NOT an option people).

I'm leaning toward DS9 (Emissary) or ST: First Contact.

Any thoughts on the book 'Coping with your trekkie?' (1997) by Samuel Ramer? Should I buy this for him?

I'm kind-of seeing someone who's a partial TOS fan long-distance from Grants' Pass Oregon. My suggestion - let it be. Let things develop naturally. Perhaps adding them as a character in your fan fiction as a complement might be the way to go. Go to Trek movies on your own & leave the door open for them to invite themselves along without seeming like your nose-is-put-out-of-joint if your prospective significant other doesn't warm to the idea right away.
