• "If our story were a Pixar film, we'd be at the emotional opening scene"

How to Adapt References

Rule #1: Make sure she knows it Nothing worse than a reference that falls flat. Look for a clue in her profile.

Rule #2: Stay accessible Obscure references are cool between fans. For an opener, stick with the well-known.

Rule #3: End with a question The reference opens the door. The question lets you in.

Transformation example: ❌ "You must be a Jedi" ✅ "You must be a Jedi, because you just mind-tricked me. By the way, are you team Mandalorian or Clone Wars?"

Conclusion

Pop culture references are a shortcut to chemistry. She thinks "we're alike" in 3 seconds. Mission accomplished.

And remember: the best reference is the one that sounds like you. If you've never seen Harry Potter, don't pretend. She'll catch you in 2 questions.
